A California grand jury has indicted two police officers who were fired for allegedly beating a Black teen after a high-speed chase ended

On Sept. 17, a grand jury in California indicted two police officers on felony assault charges in the alleged beating of Mr. Carter during his arrest last year.

The Stockton Police Officers’ Association defended the officers, saying in a statement that their actions were justified because Carter “actively resisted arrest” and “presented an imminent threat of death or seriously bodily injury.” Photos released by Carter’s attorney, civil rights lawyer John Burris of Oakland, show the teen with deep purple bruising around his eyes and what appears to be a shoe or boot print on the left side of his face.

“We’re delighted that prosecution is occurring, and we hope it sends a clear message to others in this department that there are consequences,” he said.
