A federal grand jury has indicted Derek Chauvin and three other former Minneapolis police officers on charges of violating George Floyd's civil rights during the arrest that led to his death last year, according to the indictment unsealed Friday.

Alexander Kueng, 27 — were each charged with two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law, according to the indictment from the U.S.

Chauvin "willfully deprived George Floyd of the right, secured and protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States, to be free from an unreasonable force by a police officer," according to the indictment.

In a separate two-count indictment, Chauvin was also charged with violating the civil rights of a boy, then 14, on Sept.

"Chauvin, without legal justification, held the teenager by the throat and struck the teenager multiple times in the head with a flashlight," according to the separate indictment.

Al Sharpton welcomed the indictments and said the legal action "shows we have a Justice Department that deals with police criminality."
