You are exactly right! Mr. Floyd would be alive today if he had just stayed calm in the back of the police car. Chauvin was definitely in the wrong, but it wouldn't have happened in the first place if the suspect remained calm. Mr. Wright would be alive today if he had complied. Granted, a cop should absolutely know the difference between a gun and a taser, but a weapon wouldn't have been drawn in the first place if the suspect remained calm. The escalation starts somewhere, and it usually does not end well. I could go on. Kind of a common denominator going on here.

Comply, don't die.
