I was simply saying there wasn't any reason to resist - why do it?
.. because, as we have seen over the last few weeks, there's a very real possibility that the victim will be physically harmed in the process of being taken into custody, and a real possibility they may die in the process.
Survival instinct leads the victim to try and escape this.
Nobody, especially the coloured and ethnic population, wants to go with the police willingly, because, as my title suggests, the police are out of control. The more the victim tries to get away, the more hyped-up and adrenalin-fuelled the officers become, until they snap, and lose their self-control, along with clear sight of what their purpose was in the first place.
They'll shoot someone for "resisting arrest" even when they haven't told the victim that they're under arrest in the first place. How can you be "resisting arrest" when all that's happened is that an officer has grabbed you by the arm, and tried to twist it?
