The Department of Justice is investigating whether they will now charge Derek Chauvin over a 2017 incident where he knelt on a black 14-year-old boy's neck for nearly 17 minutes.
A source told ABC News that the Justice Department is probing whether to now bring federal charges against Chauvin for the 2017 arrest and the one involving Floyd.
Federal prosecutors had witnesses testify before a grand jury two months ago regarding the 2017 incident.
The DOJ probe is still ongoing and the Minneapolis Police Department recently was briefed on it.
Chauvin, who is white, has never faced any charges over the 2017 arrest.

No, not one bit.
But no worries, the cop that shot a female protestor in the chest, killing her, from a distance (can’t really be imminent threat to self or others), is cleared of all wrong doing. His name wasn’t printed all over the news, with a picture. The family of this dead lady won’t get $23,000,000. The President won’t make repeated comments about her. There isn’t a wiki entry for her yet, unlike Floyd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd CNN won’t talk about her 24/7...
After all, she wasn’t “extra special.” The Woke DOJ very much in support of anything inclusive, tolerant, and diverse, except “insurrectionists” of which most did no more than what? Trespass. LOL
BTW, what was her name? Ah yeah, Ashli Babbitt, but few know that. Do you think the POTUS that commented on Floyd at least 5 times knows her name? He hasn’t mentioned her once.
Look, the DOJ is a political instrument. They do what they are told to do. Justice is dependent on how much money you have, what party you belong to, what party is in office, and whatever is in the news today.
good one.
17 minutes didn't kill him? Impossible!!!
Exactly!
PSA to the black community: Stop breaking the freakin law and you wont have to worry about any police encounters!
damned idiots

Watch as this news, if it develops in the current direction, as the Democrat jury tamperers will say, “SEE!~ He was guilty, and everything we have screamed is justified!!!!”
Er. Well, no. If he is guilty, then why bother with all the corruption, incitement to violence, and felony jury tampering? Why send that ugly harridan Maxine Waters to Minneapolis to poison the countryside with her filth? There was no need. If he was guilty, then that is that. But committing federal crimes to ensure it, had a different intention.
Fear is what the Democrats want to instill, in everybody. In particular, wobbly moderates, if there are any left. This is all so that they can have carte blanche with their extremist idiocy. Abolish the Filibuster, and the logjam crashed down stream, destroying all before it. Defunding the Cops is just a twig in that maelstrom. Expect much more of this, during the run up to the “Summer of Love 2”.
Well if they’re going to charge Chauvin with this one as well then at least they know where to find him.
Chauvin shoulda played the national anthem. When that is occurring, kneeling is celebrated.
Is this not beating a dead horse?!
Boy, wiki sure did sanitize the story didn’t they?
Ex post facto.
“The DOJ is a political animal.”
‘Rat payback for stiffing Merrick Brian Garland.
They will need to release the body cam footage.
They know his appeal may very well overturn his conviction.
Beating suspects with a flashlight was approved behavior? Really?
19 years as a cop...
Assuming 5 days a week
Assuming 40 hours a week
Assuming 50 weeks a year—time off for vacation
2000 hours on duty a year...without OVERTIME FOR MINNEAPOLIS RIOTS
2000 hours times 19 years== 38,000 HOURS ON DUTY
George Floyd & other miscreants at every moment’s turn....
Could PAY ME $1000 an hour.
THEN-—ALL the MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKS IN THE NATION SHOW UP TO HANG YOU.............
DO YOU WANT THAT JOB???
Nor does anyone write their congressman and ask who shot Babbitt. They all know the name of the shooter.
The government has become the worst danger AMERICA faces. fixed it
It stopped being a department of justice 3 months ago. The doj and fbi are both in the service of the democrat party, and not the American people. I don’t expect any justice to come out of it as long as one-finger joe is in office.
