Well, it’s ugly enough they require it.
Arresting people is an ugly business. You can be shot for littering, if you are determined to allow yourself to not be arrested.
Every person who dies, while being arrested, is at fault for their death if they were determined to not be arrested. Police procedures are designed to minimize harm to somebody who is compliant with an officer’s orders.
You’re going to end up with a violent society, on par with countries like Somalia or Gaza, if you insist that officers never use force that risks death to somebody determined to not be arrested.
