Attorney General Keith Ellison takes over George Floyd case
“It is with a large degree of humility and great seriousness, I accept for my office, the responsibility for leadership in this critical case involving the killing of George Floyd,” Ellison said during a news conference in Minneapolis.
“We are going to bring to bear all the resources necessary to achieve justice in this case,” he pronounced.
Ellison’s appointment came following a telephone meeting between hip-hop icon Jay-Z and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
JAY-Z described the conversation as “very earnest” and thanked Governor Walz.
“Earlier today, Governor Walz mentioned having a human conversation with me – a dad and a black man in pain,” Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, wrote in a statement.
“Yes, I am human, a father and a black man in pain, and I am not the only one. This is just a first step. I am more determined to fight for justice than any fight my would-be oppressors may have.”

Derek Chauvin is seen on video kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes while Floyd pleaded he couldn’t breathe, Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
