HOUSTON — The family members of George Floyd and attorney Ben Crump shared their feelings Saturday after a federal grand jury indicted the four former Minneapolis police officers involved in Floyd's fatal arrest.
According to the indictments unsealed Friday, the men are accused of violating Floyd's constitutional rights as he was restrained face-down on the pavement and gasping for air. They're also accused of failing to provide Floyd with medical care.
