Minnesota AG on Derek Chauvin's motive: Ex-cop 'put ego before policing'
Fox News
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison sat down for his first interview since Derek Chauvin was convicted of all charges earlier this week, and said he feels the former Minneapolis police officer’s motive in Floyd’s death likely had to do with his own ego, according to a preview for the upcoming segment.
"That’s a question we spent a lot of time asking ourselves," Ellison told Scott Pelley in a preview clip released Thusday, "and all we could come up with is what we could divine from his body language and his demeanor. And we saw was that the crowd was demanding that he get up and that he was staring right back at them defiantly. ‘You don’t tell me what to do. I do what I want to do. You people have no control over me. I’m going to show you.’" Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, died after Chauvin, who is White, held his knee against Floyd’s neck for approximately nine-and-a-half minutes – as he lie handcuffed and face-down on the pavement and despite his repeated shouts that he could not breathe.More Related News
