A Hinds County grand jury indicted the officers in the January 2019 death of George Robinson, 62.
It accuses the officers - Desmond Barney, Lincoln Lampley and Anthony Fox - with "willfully, unlawfully and feloniously" causing Robinson's death.
All three worked for the Jackson Police Department at the time.
The indictment alleges that the three officers removed Robinson from his vehicle, body-slammed him on the pavement and repeatedly struck him in the head and chest.
Robinson died from bleeding on the brain caused by blunt force trauma to the head
