If you tell a cop at a traffic stop that you have a loaded firearm, on you or in the vehicle, they will always put the cuffs on you until they check you out for their own safety. I for one would not have a problem with that.

Not necessarily.
I've had them tell me "OK, just don't reach for it"

Probably because you were respectful and didn't have an attitude.

Mr. Floyd is over six feet tall and weighs more than 200 pounds.”

The same document tells us that Floyd, even as he was still standing and resisting efforts to put him in the police car, was repeatedly saying he could not breathe despite clear evidence that he could. Police officers, but few others, know that “I can’t breathe” is the universal complaint of the resisting arrestee. Police officers also know, as most others do not, that handcuffed suspects can fight and escape, especially when officers are confronted by hostile onlookers. (See, for example, this video taken last year in Chicago.)

Just another arrest for Floyd but with a different outcome. I guess because he knew the police officer he felt he could resist arrest.

I see this scenario as "crying wolf". Scary thought!

Virtually ALL people that have problems with the police are those that RESIST. IF you are told to do something DO IT, and you will almost never have a problem. OF COURSE there are exceptions!
