After a jury found former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all three counts in the death of George Floyd, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) said that he doesn’t consider the verdict “justice” but rather “accountability.”
“I would not call today’s verdict justice, however, because justice implies true restoration. But it is accountability, which is the first step toward justice,” said Ellison, who called for systemic change, reports Axios. Ellison also said any people who decide to honor Floyd’s legacy, such as through demonstrations, should do it “calmly, and legally and peacefully.”
