Minnesota's attorney general warns that while all four officers involved in the death of George Floyd are now charged, convicting them 'will be hard'
After he formally announced charges against all four officers, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison acknowledged that a"successful prosecution" could not rectify the"hurt and loss" so many people feel following George Floyd's death.
"The very fact that we have filed these charges means that we believe in them. But what I do not believe is that one successful prosecution can rectify the hurt and loss that so many people feel," Ellison said. Ellison added that the path to"constructing justice and fairness in our society" would be"slow and difficult work."
"That work is the work of all of us. We don't need to wait for the resolution and investigation of this case to start that work. We need citizens, neighbors, leaders in government and in faith communities, civil and human rights activists, to begin rewriting the rules for a just society now," Ellison said.
The attorney general added that new policy and legislation is needed on the municipal, state and federal level. He encouraged individuals in the arts and entertainment industry to use their cultural influence to"inspire the change we need."Watch:
