Minnesota Attorney General: ‘These Cases Are Tougher Than You Might Imagine’ | MSNBC

59 comments

  1. There’s nothing tough about it. Everyone is becoming aware certain members of society aren’t as penalized by the justice system. Uniform sentences is one thing people want.

    1. @Julie B the Guardian? Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha

    2. He is talking about conviction, if you want to actually deter these actions with jail time, don’t over reach. Too many times they want to have a murder indictment, realize there will be white people horrified by the rioting on the jury. I would prefer a manslaughter chare that puts the guy in jail over an acquittal and more protests because you reached for murder.

    1. Most democrat voters were born out of wedlock and didn’t have their father around, that’s why they can relate to Barry (no dad)Obama and Colin(no dad)kappernik!

  2. Mr. Ellison I would love to have a one-on-one conversation. A lot of what I hear you say I heard being said in the early 2000 and 2008 and 2016 and yet we’re in 2020 and still no change.

    1. @G. S. X. It’s not about the right or the left or the red or the blue, It’s about the white & those who want power over others to keep them in a subservient position. I don’t mind serving my community, I don’t mind serving my country. I will not stand with a country that rather see me die or enslaved so that at the end of the day they can feel that that they’re better than me. When they are not, nor do I feel as if I Am better than them. I will stand up for what is right. I will stand behind anyone who’s willing to do the right thing by all.

  3. To just watch and do nothing by those other3 police officers, is called aiding and abetting and that’s the crime.

    1. @Mathew Conrad If you give your friend a ride to quick trip, he goes in and stabs the cashier while trying to rob the place, you are guilty by association. Same should apply here, I mean, George Floyd was in hand cuffs, he had two officers sitting on his body while the one douchbag was kneeling on his neck, and the 4th pos was watching it all unfold, that is a clear case of guilt by association. They swore an oath to “serve and protect” there was no resisting by Floyd, even if he had been, he was in cuffs facing 4 police officers, two of which had pretty bad police histories. There are all guilty of murder. And should be prosecuted for nothing less then murder in the second degree. That should be a very easy case to convict….all 4.

    2. @Lil bit Lets just remember the FBI is just another branch of “law” enforcement. Don’t think for a second they won’t also protect their own. As we have seen in the past.

    3. @judd Holmberg you can try to argue it that way but they were not coming together to hangout out with each other like me and my friends would be doing. They were working and all came together to handle a call about a crime. That one reason alone can through a wrench in the others being prosecuted. We just have to wait and see what the fbi finds.

    4. When a police federation is gang like is not responsible to the people’s representatives, corruption might be a cause to renew the force?
      Is that the case?

  4. Is there proof antifa was involved in the riots?..how do we know that this didn’t come from far right militant. There is QAnon and white supremacists that would do this in support of trump…why isn’t Trump making more of these groups labeled terrorists..when he insites violence at his rallies in 2016 that they would protest If he lost election and he would totally support their right to do that in support of him..He is such a hypocrite…

    1. Does it REALLY matter at this point? Whether “antifa” or “Qanon”, it’s just a Label for either side to dismiss the other, when the issue is an ultra-corrupted political class oligarchy. Those unwind…badly.

    2. @JJSC when you steer the blame to a democratic right wing extremist group without any knowledge of the real truth he is pandering for votes…why did he not include other right wing extremists…so, yes if you can’t prove who all is responsible then don’t name any group…he had no problem in 2016 saying if he didn’t win his supporter who are not so nice guys may protest (riot)…now that is ok for them to riot on his behalf…what a hypocrite! He lost my vote this time around!

    3. They found organize notes in what to do and what not to do. All you motherfukers are doing and making me be on the cops side.george who?

  5. Jesus Christ man there on video participating in a murder. What other freaking evidence is there. Still gathering evidence makes no sense

    1. I was destroyed in federal court thinking I had any civil rights. I had witnesses, admissions and attorneys.., Judge suspended my attorney from practicing law, blocked all my evidence and was told I couldn’t sue because the economy was bad, then told if I got another attorney he would make sure I lose in his courtroom…MLK DEATH WAS IN VAIN AND CAN TELL YOU FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS !!!! your only right you have is to pay taxes to a system that works against your rights. Other than the video of George being murdered all other evidence will be blocked in his favor, only evidence against him will be allowed, its not over until he is convicted of murder……

    2. UtubeProfit I’ve seen similar situations over the years. The working poor have no voice. The rich get richer an the poor get poorer, People of all races are fed up. As a teenager in the 70’s I can remember my mother telling me over an over, that the cops can do anything they want, to anybody they want, at anytime they want. Sadly nothing has changed.

  6. ‘These Cases Are Tougher Than You Might Imagine’ can only be because the system is rigged and designed to protect their own…

  7. very well said, ty mr velshi and ag ellison. 3rd-degree murder is not enough, it should be 1st-degree murder, and the other 3 need to face murder charges as well. that is justice.

  8. This country is famous for the rallying cry of “Never forget”. Alright,…We won’t.
