Someone resisted arrest while armed with an a/c unit?
If you ever see somebody carrying something like a window unit, rest assured they are on the Do Not frick With list. Rest assured that man has one thing going through his mind, and it’s “frick this bullshite.” Similarly, never frick with a guy loading or unloading a U-Haul.

You know what, don't answer that first question. Honk fricking Honk.

or resist arrest
And here's the rub. There are certainly multiple examples of legit resisting arrest, but there are others where it is kinda gray. But in those gray examples, the benefit of the doubt always goes to the cop. Take the George Floyd case for an example. Early in his interaction there was certainly some resisting. Towards the end though, he had stopped resisting other than his body's natural instinct to avoid injury/death. Same thing with Eric Garner. Anyone is going to "resist" when they're in a chokehold.

Fricked up and they should be held accountable, period. It isn’t that hard.

Personal responsibility is not high on some people’s list.

I like how resisting arrest carries the penalty of death for so many here.
Going to be epic when they come for your guns.
Terrible argument. There is a clear difference between compliance and tyranny.
These situations where perps resist arrest would never escalate to them getting shot to death if they didn't resist to begin with. That's not to say cops aren't also in the wrong at times as well. Look at the Philando Castille shooting for example.

Yet the poli board wants to pat the cops on the back in Virginia who immediately escalated the situation in a traffic stop and did nothing to deescalate.

He’s dead, so I’d say he paid a pretty steep price for his actions. Did he escalate them to a point where death was a reasonable consequence? I’d argue he did not. I assume you disagree.

Perhaps if he didn’t escalate them we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

I'm pretty sure that pulling the trigger was an escalation.

Probably not. If the cop was worth a shite at her job we probably aren’t having this conversation either.
The idea that “he should have complied” excuses everything that happens next kind of blows my mind.

Resisting arrest does not warrant the death penalty, btw.
Nope, but it is a damn certain way to bring it into play.

Become a cop then and lead by example. You won’t.
Gotta love the peanut gallery. Anymore excuses you want to make?
If a cop is wrong, they should be held accountable. Can’t make it any clearer.

I mean, what's the cop supposed to do? They don't know what the perp is potentially grabbing in his car, hence why they instruct them not to reenter the vehicle. 99% of people are going to assume they are going for a weapon.

Find where I made an excuse for the Virginia cops or said anything about that matter at all. Then maybe your whataboutism would be relevant.
