You blow up your own point of view when you say that Daunte Wright & Ahmaud Arbery should have just taken what was coming to them. What was coming for them came for them regardless of their resistance. Police officers should not be murdering anyone for any reason, including: 'i feared for my life'. Don't take the job then. And Arbery - too many loose guns in the hands of loose cannons. The entire culture around guns and policing and 'the right to bear arms' - that has to change. Tribalism won't change. But let's change the acceptance of casual use of guns.
Robert, you're wrong. Bad violent criminals can ONLY be stopped by people willing to be MORE violent. Police win the shootouts. The reform needed is not "arrest resistance" , but to have more monitors on the police, quicker ways to get rid of the few bad apple police, and get more Black men able and willing to be Police officers. For their neighborhoods.
Police are killing fewer than ever (have you even seen the statistics, real data?), but the number of homicides is going up. Especially Blacks killing Blacks.
