As for the Floyd case I appear to have been misinformed and his only resistance appears to have just been getting him out of the car. After that he seemed compliant. It does look to be though that he was suffering a medical incident causing him to fall to the floor more than once. Whether his past record led Chauvin to treat him harshly I do not know or whether his illness had any role in his death either.
I got it wrong with case and hold my hands up
(an admission of being wrong and fessing up. Rare thing for this forum hahahaha)

You’re absolutely right, resisting arrest invites greater use of force against you, in any jurisdiction. You’re not going to escape arrest so really there’s no point trying.
However, what I was trying to convey is the difference in policing culture between here and the USA. Whatever problems we have, we just don’t have the levels of casual brutality amongst rank and file officers that appears to be standard practice over there.
