What this means is, in the past people didn't die at the hands of police as much as they do now. There is no evidence that they resist more either. They simply die more.

This cop was banned from using a chokehold, and he choked him instantly and basically killed him. No charges when he broke his own departments explicit ban. And the talk is about how the fat black guy deserved it because he didn't say yes sir or some other detail apparently required by some before they'll entertain the notion that cops did something wrong. Something that might be like murder.
