How to Make this Moment the Turning Point for Real Change

To the contrary, the prosecutor had this to say about why he had not pressed charges:

'But my job in the end is to prove he violated a criminal statute - but there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge.'[0]

This quotation is from a tabloid, but the quote--and the DA's failure to say unequivocally that he would prosecute Floyd's killer, Chauvin--contributed to the riots.

And then Chauvin was arrested the day after riots started.

Attorney General != District Attorney last time I checked.

DAs decide whether to file murder charges. AGs are not relevant to the process.
