Minnesota governor Tim Walz revealed JAY-Z called him over the weekend to discuss the police killing of 46-year-old George Floyd. In the wake of their conversation, the Roc Nation leader has released a statement applauding Walz for enlisting the help of Attorney General Keith Ellison.
“After our very earnest conversation, thank you to Governor Walz for doing what’s right and calling in Attorney General Keith Ellison to take over the George Floyd case,” Jay said in a press release. “Earlier today, Governor Walz mentioned having a human conversation with me — a dad and a black man in pain. YES, I am human, a father and a black man in pain and I am not the only one.
“Now I, along with an entire country in pain, call upon AG Ellison to do the right thing and prosecute all those responsible for the murder of George Floyd to the fullest extent of the law. This is just a first step. I am more determined to fight for justice than any fight my would-be oppressors may have.”
Hov concluded with, “Prevail on every politician, prosecutor and officer in the country to have the courage to do what is right. Have the courage to look at us as humans, dads, brothers, sisters and mothers in pain and look at yourselves.”
Floyd was killed on Monday (May 25) after now-fired Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin placed his knee on his neck for over nine minutes. Three other officers stood by and watched. As Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo told CNN on Sunday (May 31), “Silence is an action — you’re complicit. You’re complicit. Mr. Floyd died in our hands and so I see that as being complicit.”
JAY-Z Called MN Governor Tim Walz To Demand Justice For George Floyd
While Chauvin was ultimately arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, the other three officers remain free.
Since Floyd’s death, the protests and riots have erupted across the United States. Ellison, who’s black and politically identifies as a progressive, will now lead the prosecution in Floyd’s case.
I hope that pressure increases for Attorney Ellison to indict everyone involved with the killing.
Jayz is a phony who sold out his race with the whole nfl/Kaepernick thing. He also sold out his family by cheating on Beyonce and his business partners with rocafella. Hes exactly the type of person we should be protesting against.
His business partners were trash lol and though he should cheat most men and women do and how did he sell out Kaepernick by opening up another door for blacks to enter the NFL Upper Deck. People like you are fools who can’t see beyond what’s in front of you.
How brainwashed are you? Betraying your family is horrible. Even if your business partners arent the best you donyt go behind their backs to weasel away the company you built together. Finally, when he said were past kneeling, that was a betrayal to his race. Just think about how many excuses you have to make to defend the man. Let it go and admit when you’re wrong.
What is jay-z’s race? One race. The human race.
Keith Ellison is the enemy $L33p3r Cell agent. He will purposely let the cops go. Just watch. He is ANTIfA and so is his pusssseee son. Jay Z is doing so much damage to the black community here. Open your eyes. Omar is in on this too. She’s loving it.
