Why would someone resist arrest?

Asked by Demosthenes (14999points) April 13th, 2021

Have you ever resisted arrest yourself?

Some pro-police folks point out that nearly every one of these headline-making police-involved shootings are a result of resisting arrest. So what I want to know is: why would someone resist arrest knowing the risks involved? What makes someone resist arrest? How should police react to someone resisting arrest?
