If you're at the point of resisting arrest, no amount of "social skills and high quality ability to manipulate people" is going to save you from some degree of violence. I would argue black or white or asian or hispanic or whatever. We desperately need improved non-lethal deterrents in this country (among other things like training etc.)
Maybe if you're trying to get out of a speeding ticket or something then that can help you but in my experience most cops have heard it all before.
Bottom line if you're resisting arrest...in the US they're going to restrain you...often very violently.
Obviously the excessive force part is another topic altogether. Once someone is restrained no one should ever die (what happened to George Floyd after he was restrained is obviously horrific).
