Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison joins The Beat with Ari Melber’s breaking coverage on the latest from the FBI and the protests.

‘Haunted': Minnesota Attorney General Responds To Death And Investigation Of George Floyd | MSNBC
If Floyd had crashed that cops neck think of if fellas….
The cops would have shot Floyd if it was the other way around!!
@Amanda hunt certainy comparibel, one human and another human… no signs, nothing…just people…only “people” give certain “dressed clowns” esteem, not me…
@Grace Maley not sure what that’s suppose to mean . A police officer who swore to protect the public is very different to a regular citizen they decide to protect . There will be police no matter what . I’m not sure what you mean by “people”? You mean civilization?
It’s not comparable at all
@Amanda hunt No matter what “uniform” you wear, “you” are still just a person like me. What comes down from on “high” let us meet.
The world is watching.
I live in Europe and we saw a man die/murdered on video in America land of the free “killing”
Don’t act too high and mighty….black people all over this globe are suffering.
Thank you for speaking truth from the other side … This racism has to end.. Since the native American Indians where murder as well trying to hold on to there land these murder still exsist nothing changed but the times and faces.
@Mimi Brown haha true. I’ve stopped going to the states since Trump came in and the border is an hour away. Don’t miss it, all my American friends have moved out in the last 3 years. They don’t miss it either
@FL W I’m not sure you have a point there? Are you trying to appear to be racist?
@Angie Williams I would say the unfortunate thing is that people keep getting killed by the people who are supposed to be protecting them. You are free to give your opinion any time you want but not once you’ve been murdered by a police officer.
If you see suspicious people don’t call the cops they can’t be trusted
@Ethan Tour I believe there are good people, but tossing the coin…not for me.
@Ethan Tour just like I seen a video when a cop just started punching on a colored person and the female cop just stood there and let it happen the good cops never grow a set and stop it or say anything just like the cops just stood there and watched mister George die
yes that can wtf are you talking about, you children see 5 bad cops and assume every single cop is the devil incarnate
@kash they are the devil
@kash when did anyone say that? We all realize there’s good cops, but the problem is those good cops continue turning a blind eye, and do nothing to those bad apples. The whole tree is rotten at its core, and I’ve been a cop guy my whole life. Until there’s consequences, nothing will change, and I put all of em in the same group til the system changes.
It is not just the Police officer who will stand on trial, it is the US legal system that will be on trial.
@Tom Temen Now that you’ve watched, what are you doing about it?
The prosecutor, and maybe you also, sound like broken records. I saw with my own eyes, another, yes another!!! Black Man murdered on national television. How often do we need to see this before we act? Or should we accept this as a society? i think not. Tear down the temples!! I am so heartened for the sake of our humanity. Peace
Burn down a few more buildings then these cops would be arrested
@Gcat3000 how do you explain barr
Dave Schultz I wonder if trump will ever get around to locking Hillary up? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. 🇺🇸🖕🇺🇸
Nothing immediate. Right. What you “see” has to be reviewed, for how many months? So people forget? Unforgivable!!!
100%
Exactly that’s what they want people to do”forget” and at this point if they say he is arrested I wouldn’t even believe it…because they BSn
That place is gonna burn.
People won’t forget. Riots are going to get worse if they don’t make the arrest soon. They are putting everyone’s lives at risk over a corrupt killer cop.
Well no justice, no peace. Arrest the 4 provocateur cops & u may have a cessation of violence!
Murder in plain sight.
Yeah… they are nuts if they think they can just delay and make this go away. It’s not. People are not going to let this go. Riots will get worse.
If those stand trial in Albany NY, they would walk away free and probably get their jobs back. That’s the standard operating procedure in New York City. Hopefully that won’t happen here.
What does NY have to do with this? Just clock out and go home.
I’m in Scotia ny
Seems NY is one of the “worse” “states” to be living in at this day an time >>js what a joke this whole thing is. I am no fool.
That Offers Did A Choke Hold With His Knee on His Neck!!!! That Was Murder !!!!
Exactly, it wasn’t monentary either, he just kept the pressure on while he watched the man slowly die. Sick and cowardly.
Since when does a DA. Wait until they’ve gathered all possible evidence before bringing charges? Normally they arrest you then build their case.
@Fitawrari Fitness They can search for a defense after the arrest. The longer this takes, the worse the riots will get. People are not going to be satisfied. This is not going away.
EXACTLY. !
@STEVE W-K EXACTLY. ! Black people don’t get the benefit of anything. !
@Fitawrari Fitness It’s the job of the defense attorney to search for a defense. That’s not the District Attorney’s job. There’s something really weird going on here. The D.A. needs to get these cops behind bars. Is the D.A. trying to decide whether to charge all the cops or just one cop?
It just occurred to me: I wonder if the authorities are trying to decide if the murder can be charged as racially motivated hate crime which can be prosecuted under federal or state law.
They can investigate while these murderers are in jail, like with any other citizen in the same position.
AMEN.
Exactly
Thank you, so agree !!!!!!
Took minutes to snuff out of his life, where is the same urgency? Unbelievable!!
Not how it works. They have 36 hours to file charges after arresting someone. File the wrong charges, and your entire case is doomed.
if this Is the US Legal System …..IT SHOULD BE ON TRIAL!!!
Local police and the Catholic church have a lot in common.
Please explain!
cover up, cover up , cover up
Video clearly shows a man being murdered, no investigation required.
Take it from Adolf, an expert on the subject. It was murder.
I love your work
They can investigate while that pig is in jail. Like they do any other Citizen who is not on tape
Greatest man that ever lived!
I promise you those other cops were trained to intervene. They’re all guilty, and the death penalty should be on the table for sentencing
Just a thought here………..Charge them, convict them, sentence them to death. Take them to an operating room and put them to sleep. Remove every single organ and tissue that could be used for transplantation and donate them to Minneapolis citizens waiting for a transplant. Use whatever is left to science. At least they would be giving back to society in some small way.
One of the original forms of American entertainment, the murder of black bodies.
GEORGE FLOYD WAS PUBLICLY MURDERED
@Captain Brunch India using this https://youtu.be/tkOsgXHUGs0 to treat patients fighting off Covid19
@Nino Almighty right, so imagine what he did that’s not on the record. He was a garbage human being
@mike brigs What do you mean???
@SE ASIA OMG who do you think you are?
@SE ASIA you shouldn’t accuse some of being stupid when you should look at your own people, some people are so poor they catch and eat rats to stay alive and make a living out yet most rats have also be found to carry Covid19 viruses. I can go on and on to prove your people aren’t so bright as they seem. Before you judge someone as being stupid look at yourself and compare yourself as to the people in India living in filth
Youtube is censoring Floyd’s name from the search results
Democracy
Nan DEMONcracy
I noticed this too. Just plain evil.
Arrest arrest arrest those spectator police men and murderer
Cowards
How many have to die before the process starts.
Wally Boyce I’m scared this is the beginning
@Diane Wilkins Don’t be scared! YAH and You win in the final battle! We all die, but let us live! js!
They think this will just go away if they can delay… it’s not going to go away. Riots will get worse.
What more evidence do they need point blank he. Murdered !!!!! Him
