Ending the Cycle of Police Violence with Keith Ellison

It’s been three years since George Floyd was murdered by the police. After a swell of action followed by inaction, an important question remains: What still needs to change to break the cycle of police violence in America? Khalil and Ben talk to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison about prosecuting the officers who killed Floyd. The three also debate their visions of what justice looks like. This conversation was recorded live at the Chicago Humanities Festival.  Order Break the Wheel: Ending the Cycle of Police Violence here To learn more about Chicago Humanities, visit their website: https://www.chicagohumanities.org/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
