'There's no trust': George Floyd, the police and racism in the US



Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on the Floyd murder trial, justice and calls to 'defund' the police in the US.


As the Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison is the chief prosecutor of the four policemen charged in the murder of George Floyd on the streets of Minneapolis on May 25.
More than 30 years ago, Ellison was a student activist in Minnesota, where he organised the community to stand up to police brutality.
Years later he became the first Muslim member of Congress, and the first Black American to be elected to a statewide position in Minnesota.
