Chauvin, 3 Other Ex-Officers Indicted on Civil Rights Charges in Floyd Case
2021-05-07
[Newsmax] A federal grand jury has indicted the four former Minneapolis police officers involved in George Floyd’s arrest and death, accusing them of willfully violating the Black mans constitutional rights as he was restrained face-down on the pavement.

A three-count indictment unsealed Friday names Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Kueng, and Tou Thao.

Specifically, Chauvin is charged with violating Floyd's right to be free from unreasonable seizure and unreasonable force by a police officer. Thao and Kueng are also charged with violating Floyd’s right to be free from unreasonable seizure, alleging they did not intervene to stop Chauvin as he knelt on Floyd's neck. All four officers are charged for failing to provide Floyd with medical care.

And here I thought it was a drug-induced seizure. Don't know how I could have got that impression.
