With the Prosecutorial Team Standing Behind Him Nervously...

 Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison takes this time to lecture the nation on the history of race riots in America, ticking off a number of judicial cases outside his jurisdiction.

The legal team members -- left standing there, masked behind him -- are eyeing one another: "When will this end?"  They are being used as props by Ellison.  This is much more of a polical speech now than the traditional congratulatory thank you to the team, which no doubt assembled them here before the cameras.

Ellison is trying to make it look as though the men and women standing behind him support all that he is saying.  Look at their eyes and shifting body language:  they don't.

ADDED:  Oh dear, now he is talking slavery, and all of the nation's collected victim groups...  Hennepin DA Mike Freeman is not comfortable being there.  And a few in the back look like they are ready to head out too or pass out from standing after a long, tense day.

This team won despite Keith Ellison.  Let's be honest... talking on and on and on.  Enough, Keith. Plenty of time to advance your political career.  Thank the team and let them go home to their families now.
