Keith Ellison: ‘Sadly, Yes’ Black Americans in Minneapolis Have Reason To Fear Police

RUSH TRANSCRIPT
WALLACE:  "On Friday, you urged the people of Minneapolis not to react to the National Guard in the streets the way they would to local police. I want to put up something you said. “Please or member that this is not the group that you associate with unfair authority.” Question, do blacks in Minneapolis have reason to distrust or even to fear their local police?"
ELLISON:  "Sadly, yes, there is a history that has been repeated time and time again. I want to say that many officers are great people, I know so many of them and I think the chief is an extraordinary person and the mayor and the deserve a lot of credit for appointing him, but it is an endemic problem in the Minneapolis police department.”
