And there are videos of people being taken into custody peacefully. Most violent arrest videos I have seen start with the suspect being the one who triggers the action by resisting being restrained and becomes combative. A self fulfilling prophecy of sorts. They are going to be arrested. They don't want to be arrested so they try to get away. Officers will try to restrain person who then begins to wrestle with police. Police now trying to subdue by force and you see the result of suspect non-compliance to officers original orders. Again, self fulfilling prophecy.
