Non-compliance is a provocation of violence, so naturally it results in violence. It's the price we pay to have a society.

Nowadays police will apply force regardless, and retroactively claim that you didn't comply. Just look at all these videos of people being brutalized and beaten unconscious by police men shouting at them "stop resisting!"

So what you're basically saying is the price for having any policing is that we have to accept a morally and legally corrupt police force.

That depends entirely on the law being infringed. Society could do with a lot fewer of them as a whole.

There is nothing "natural" about it.

It comes naturally to a lot of people.
