By: ShaCamree Gowdy Three former Minneapolis police officers who were fired for their roles in George Floyd’s death have filed motions to have their federal cases separated from Derek Chauvin’s trial. Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Derek Chauvin are accused by a federal grand jury of violating Floyd's constitutional rights. All four officers are charged with neglecting to provide the 46-year-old with medical assistance after Chauvin took away Floyd’s right to be free from “unreasonable seizure,” including the right to be free from police officers using excessive force, per CNN’s Omar Jimenez.
