Quote:How many of these incidents happened while the person was either fighting with the cops, or running from the cops as opposed to not doing either of those things? How many police shooting and or deaths in custody happen when the person being arrested surrendered peacefully?


You can say you don't trust the cops all you like, but I'd trust the cops more not to kill me by not giving them an excuse to want to do so in the first place.

 

So you're saying the cops shouldn't try to give people a reason to actually trust them?  Because hey!  As long as you surrender, you (probably) won't be shot!  (you might mysteriously die in a van though)

 

 

Quote:Does that mean that no one should be arrested ever because they are all innocent until it's proved otherwise?

No, but it does mean that arrest records are pretty meaningless in the long of it.   Being arrested does NOT  make you a criminal.
