Absolutely not. But sometimes things escalate and the officer has to make a decision to protect himself and the public from a potentially armed suspect that's on the loose. I wouldn't want anyone who is running from the police to run into a shop my mother is at. Things don't escalate if the stopped/questioned/arrested person complies with the officer.
As someone who lives in a country with guns, I have to have the understanding and take the responsibility that the officer will have to do whatever (within law) to secure an unfamiliar to him situation. Therefore, it's imperative that I comply. Any resistance will be seen as a threat. If I did nothing wrong, all it happened is a talked to a cop for a bit. Big deal.
Interesting stats:
-The number of whites killed by police more than doubles that of blacks killed by police.
-Chance of non-white officer killing a white suspect is 3 times that of a white officer killing a black suspect.
I don't believe this is an issue, with either black or white.
If there was police brutality towards people who were complying, that'd be a different story.
Are you referring to the Atlanta shooting?
He shot at the cop first,.. what did he expect? What would you expect? I would expect him to shoot me. This isn't complicated.

No, but it's the tactic I have seen employed by BLM and Antifa mob.
30 animals stomping on a head of a man lying unconscious on the street is also a very popular tactic, not just here in the US, but UK, France, Netherlands, and Ireland as well.
HEY BLM,
WHITES GET SHOT
BY THE POLICE TOO; WHEN THEY RESIST ARREST,
RUN, FIGHT WITH OFFICERS
AND REACH FOR THEIR GUN
ESPECIALLY WHEN WHITES
SHOOT AT POLICE; DON'T THINK YOU'RE SO F*CKING SPECIAL
