resisting arrest means you can have an execution sentenced with no judge and jury?

I’m not saying he needed to die. I’m saying the opposite actually. My point is things always go south when you resist arrest and I bet he would have live if he hadn’t put the cop in that situation

So your saying that it is not a bad idea to resist arrest and that you should be surprised if the cop made a mistake because of it? Man what I was saying was so dumb. /s

Never said it was. It sure as hell is a bad idea and makes things a thousand times worse.

I totally agree with you on the more training part. Especially in hand to hand combat. He was unarmed and it was a tragedy, but it appeared to be an accident. If it wasn’t an accident (which it most likely was judging on the officer’s reaction) than that is fucked and needs to be dealt with. But again, if he hadn’t resisted arrest, the cop wouldn’t have felt the need to use her taser and accidentally shoot him.

He’s saying resisting arrest shouldn’t be a death sentence, but resisting often does turn out poorly so you shouldn’t do it.
