Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison told CNN this morning that he expects “there will be charges” against the four Minneapolis officers involved in George Floyd’s death. He added that he hopes they will be announced “soon.” “We are standing by and helping any way we can. But yeah, I anticipate there will be charges. I hope they're soon. But that is the prerogative of another prosecuting authority. They are trying to be careful. They are trying to make sure their case is strong and airtight,” Ellison said.“Everybody believes that this is a violation of Mr. Floyd. And I believe that everybody wants to see these charges filed as soon as they can be.

The four police officers were fired earlier this week, but no charges have been filed.

Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black manSeveral hundred people marched to protest the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody. Some protesters damaged windows, a squad car and sprayed graffiti. Police in riot gear fired tear gas and projectiles.
