J. Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao are broadly charged with depriving George Floyd of his civil rights while acting under government authority.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Three former Minneapolis police officers charged with violating George Floyd's civil rights did nothing to intervene as fellow officer Derek Chauvin pinned the Black man's neck to the street, a prosecutor told jurors Monday as the federal trial began.
J. Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao are broadly charged with depriving Floyd of his civil rights while acting under government authority. All three are charged for failing to provide Floyd with medical care. Thao and Kueng face an additional count for failing to stop Chauvin, who was convicted of murder and manslaughter in state court last year.
Attorneys for the Floyd family have said bystander video shows that the three officers"directly contributed to death and failed to intervene to stop the senseless murder." Federal prosecutions of officers involved in on-duty killings are rare. Prosecutors face a high legal standard to show that an officer willfully deprived someone of their constitutional rights. Essentially, prosecutors must prove that the officers knew what they were doing was wrong, but did it anyway.
