Minn. Attorney General Keith Ellison Says He Doesn’t Want Police Officers Responding To Rape Calls

Keith Ellison, former Democrat National Committee vice chairman and current Minnesota attorney general, said he does not want police officers to respond to rape calls. The shocking policy suggestion occurred during a Zoom conversation featuring Ellison and Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) to discuss racism and police reforms. The dialogue was moderated by White House correspondent for “PBS NewsHour” Yamiche Alcindor. Ellison stated: “If you’re a woman who’s been a victim of a sexual assault, and the assailant ran away, wouldn’t you rather talk to somebody who is trained in helping you deal with what you’re dealing with, as opposed to somebody whose main training is that they know how to use a firearm? Right?” [url=https://thefederalist.com/2020/07/21/minn-attorney-general-keith-ellison-says-he-doesnt-want-police-officers-responding-to-rape-calls/]https://thefederalist.com/2020/07/21/minn-attorney-general-keith-ellison-says-he-doesnt-want-police-officers-responding-to-rape-calls/[/url]
