Defund the police

It ain't a "nugget" unless you're on the side thinking killing suspects by choking them is okay.

Everyone get's that.  Now ask yourself what is so hard about complying with "You are under arrest" or "stop resisting"?  Many of these cases are the result of perpetrators fighting with the police, in an attempt to not be taken into custody.  What are the police to do, just allow them to run away?

I'm sure that you'll already be prepared to steer the question away from the behavior that I'm pointing to, with something about racial profiling or being arrested for non crimes, etc.  But, just humor me for a moment, and address the behavior of the criminal that often leads to the use of force to subdue or apprehend.  How about we ask our criminals to simply obey the directives of the officers?
