Justice for George Floyd - Assign AG Keith Ellison as Special Prosecutor
Governor Walz has asked Keith Ellison to lead the George Floyd case.
Dear Governor Walz,
This weekend we saw our city burn and a global conversation turn rightfully to the larger issue of systemic racism in Minneapolis, throughout this country and the world. While we want to continue that important conversation, we also want to remain focused on justice for George Floyd, who was brutally murdered by a Minneapolis police officer while three others, equally implicit in his death, stood by and let it happen.
We believe George deserves the best representation Minnesota has to offer. Thus, we would respectfully request that all four men involved in the murder of George Floyd be prosecuted by Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison. We know this is an unprecedented request, but these are certainly unprecedented times.
Keith Ellison was elected to Attorney General by the people of Minnesota because of his intelligence, his candor, and his knowledge of the law. His continued support of equality in every city in this state is just what we need in this case. We feel George Floyd’s fight for justice deserves to be led by Mr. Ellison. He is the strongest asset Minnesota has to stand up against the powers that be, to ensure that the men involved in this horrific incidence are prosecuted fairly and within the confines of the law, and, most importantly, with the strong hand of a prosecutor that will ensure justice is served.
Thank you for your time and all you have done for this state during these incredibly difficult times. Your transparency, grit, and grace as a leader are greatly appreciated by your constituents and everyone in our great nation waiting and hoping to see justice served for George Floyd.

Why is this important?
Minnesotans and people all over the world watched in horror as George Floyd was murdered by police officers in broad daylight. We hope to see his name in the history books as the arbiter of great change. However, at this moment, we must focus on making sure George receives the justice he deserves in our court system. Please ask Governor Walz to assign Attorney General Keith Ellison to the George Floyd case.
