But Chauvin's actions in this instance should be criminal battery even had Floyd walked away under his own power with nothing more than bruises on his neck. We hear about actions like this when tragedy results (and, rightfully, when there are racial implications) but rarely otherwise. What multiple of instances is there with similar actions by the police but (thankfully) without tragic results? All such actions are contemptible and should result in consequences for the offending officer(s).
