All that is very true, but at that moment, the cop’s life wasn’t threatened, and resisting arrest (for) passing a counterfeit bill wasn’t a reason for Floyd to be killed. Was he irrational and on drugs at the time of arrest? Even if so, there may have been a way to restrain him other than sitting on his throat, not die. Whether he was on drugs or not.
YES, if people learned to not resist arrest, just maybe these things wouldn't happen. I don’t think that will ever be the case. I think they’re fearful of abuse, rough handling... that they’ve seen by cops that do abuse their power, as a result of racism or for whatever the reason. When someone is fearful, the first reaction is to flee. .
