There’s a huge difference between joe blow committing a crime and being arrested charged and tried. Everyone agrees with that. Problem arises when someone with the authority of the state abuses that authority and is shielded from being charged with a crime. That’s when the inequity arises. The whole with great power comes great responsibility. If the person with authority is allowed to get away with excesses then they become an oppressor.
Sadly we’ve allowed police to literally get away with murder and disproportionately assault batter and kill people regardless of their innocence or guilt. If the police are allowed to kill then what’s the point of judges and juries. Should we have cops - generally the same ones - having a litany of abuse complaints still working as police, I don’t think so. Are there ways to prevent that, sure. We could fire cops and dismantle the power of the police unions in defending bad cops. We can hire better police. Instead of allow long the guy who can’t get a job anywhere else become a cop maybe turn him down. Require a college degree. We don’t allow nurses to have a high school diploma why should we allow a less educated person to walk around with a gun and badge.
Resisting arrest isn’t a crime that should result in a death sentence but it has on too many occasions for blacks and whites. Oddly and not by coincidence it happens more disproportionately to population to blacks. Is it all based on racism, nope. Are some, yep. Should any be, nope. Too often it’s because the cop has a disregard for the life of black people they interact with and because they associate whites as being “more like them” they are less likely to go to extremes in handling them.
If you don’t believe there’s racism in the US and in the police forces then Nothing I say will convince you otherwise. Without accepting that it exists we can’t come together and ensure everyone is treated equally.

now don't even bother with any horse shit like ecky9.5k about whitey holding blacks down with any of this systemic racism crap, because it is crap. it's an excuse for broken black families where many black women actually embraced welfare and saw it was a way to have a whole passel of fatherless kids just to get more welfare. and of course many black men used this as both an excuse not to accept their role as a father and embraced it as part of some strange gangster street cred to have a ton of kids that they didn't have to actually raise.
resisting arrest may not be a crime but it is the genesis for these encounters that go wrong. what is the justification here? why are blacks so prone to such behavior? certainly some white assholes resists arrest and when they do they are just as much at risk of forcing a deadly confrontation as blacks. but no one riots over it. no one burns down a city over it.
what gives blacks the "right" to protest when a black suspected of a crime resists arrest and forces a deadly confrontation?
black privilege. many of these black assholes actually think they have the "right" to resist arrest. for what reason? slavery? that is false because the truth is black tribal wars fueled the bulk of the slave trade. that is fact and
cannot be refuted. which of course means any talk of reparations should be exclusively between blacks for their own crimes against each other.
