You also really have to be kind of massively obtuse to not understand why racialized groups, who in the case of Starlight tours where well aware of the practice, might not want to subject themselves to the possibility of death without resistance.
You also have to be quite willingly obtuse (or extremely stupid, which I doubt) to not see how your argument holds very little water.
The Starlight Tours are just one of numerous examples that there is no guarantee of safety if you are a racialized person dealing with officers of the law who for all you know are likely to be racists and possibly violent. If you don't resist you might still be killed. You might also end up incarcerated for either made up reasons or even without charges.
When you say "less people would die if less people would resist arrest", it's really nothing but victim blaming, and does nothing to address the issue.
Yeah, fewer people would die if they didn't resist.
15 BLM protesters have also been killed by the police or run over or shot by white people this summer. Even one black police officer has been killed by a white supremacist. None of them would have died if they just stayed home and kept quiet. Do you hold the protesters responsiböe for their own deaths too?
You know what would REALLY help people not being killed? Police not killing people.
In most western countries almost no one ever gets killed while resisting arrest.
