'Those responsible must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law in order to serve justice for George Floyd and his loved ones,' the Friday letter said.
Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar was among the signees of a Friday letter calling for U.S. Attorney General William Barr to investigate the Minneapolis Police Department after Minneapolis resident George Floyd died while being detained by police.
"Those responsible must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law in order to serve justice for George Floyd and his loved ones," the letter said."And we must work toward justice for the community, which means ensuring that the MPD accounts for and eliminates any unconstitutional police practices. It is imperative that the Department of Justice do its part toward that end.
"That investigation continued into a time where I was already sworn into the U.S. Senate," Klobuchar said."I never declined the case. It was handled and sent to the grand jury."
