He doesn't NEED to state the fucking obvious...everyone knows that looting is against the law.He SPECIFICALLY said that looting and burning is a criminal act that does nothing to help the situation.Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, appearing on the Fox News talk show with Chris Wallace threw fuel on the fires of rioting, by saying yes to the question if the rioters have a reason to complain about the Minneapolis Police Dept. Ellison than praised the MPD chief, and did not say why the protestors should protest about their police department.
If anybody has any information about why Ellison would think that protestors have a reason to protest (and riot) I'd be interested in hearing it. And when guy like Ellison has the privilege of occupying a position in the power structure of Minnesota, gets the opportunity to go on a national TV show at a time of distress, he ought to make him more clear, especially if his words could exacerbate an already inflamed situation.
Maybe Ellison is reading this himself. If so, answer the question Ellison. What reason do you think Minneapolis protestors, rioters, and looters have, to do what they've been doing ? And if you have a beef with the MPD, specifically WHAT is it ?
I would be remiss, if I didn't mention that nutjob Professor Cornell West also appeared on the show and said "Thank God they're in the streets". Frankly, I think they would be better off at home, and expressing whatever they think their gripes are, right HERE on this computer forum.

Of course he is going to side with the looters...those are his 'people'.
There are plenty of policy differences that we can pick apart. There is no reason to misrepresent someones position.
Honesty=integrity
Try it sometime
However justifying the 'reasoning' of looters from the legal perspective of the highest legal authority in the state...HIM... is not satisfactory...it is downright stupid.
You don't say things like that...this is the law. Words are valuable...priceless.
