A federal grand jury indicted four former officers on civil rights charges in the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd, according to an indictment released on Friday.
Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Kueng, and Tou Thao were indicted together for violating Floyd’s right to freedom from unreasonable seizure and excessive force, and failure to provide medical care to Floyd during his arrest.
Chauvin was convicted of murder last month, a year after video emerged of Chauvin pinning Floyd to the ground during his arrest until after he lost consciousness. The three other officers also took part in Floyd’s arrest.
