I'm calling for thorough investigations at the federal, state & local levels with @TinaSmithMN @IlhanMN @BettyMcCollum04.
Justice must be served & the officers & the police department must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Police officer Derek Chauvin charged with murder and manslaughter in killing of George Floyd. And there may be subsequent charges. First step towards justice.
— Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) May 29, 2020
ICYMI: https://t.co/Gq4dEJk0XZ. Murder in the Third degree has a 25 year statutory maximum and a guides range of 12.5 to 15 years.
— Keith Ellison (@keithellison) May 29, 2020
Former Officer Chauvin's actions were horrific. His arrest is a good first step toward justice for George Floyd. But it doesn't change the systemic problems and persistent inequities that led to his death or the pain our communities live with every day. We’re committed to change.
— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) May 29, 2020
George Floyd’s murder is etched in the minds of everyone across our country. One of the police officers has now been arrested and charged, but we also need a large scale federal investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department and system-wide reform. pic.twitter.com/79kYK8Ycsn

Minnesota consistently ranks highly for our public schools, innovation and opportunity, and happiness - if you’re white. If you’re not, the opposite is true. Systemic racism must be addressed if we are to secure justice, peace, and order for all Minnesotans.

Our Minnesota Department of Human Rights today filed a civil rights charge against the MPD. @mnhumanrights will investigate the department’s policies, procedures, and practices over the past 10 years to determine if they engaged in systemic discriminatory practices.
— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) June 2, 2020
As I said on the senate floor today, when people righteously call for justice for George Floyd, lawmakers’ answers cannot be silence. They cannot be using the bible as a prop. We must answer the call for justice with action. The answer to systemic racism is systemic change.

Failing to act amounted to a failure to recognize George’s humanity. As Chief Arradondo has stated, silence is complicity, and complicity cannot be tolerated.
