I generally think it's a cultural thing. I've seen an insane number of examples of black parents (usually mothers), teaching their children how cops are evil. You get enough of that rhetoric growing up, and it sticks, and you end up doing dumb things. Not to mention that there's a general thug culture that has developed in black communities for decades.
It makes an interesting contrast with Asian honor cultures. In one, you gain status if you can brake the law and avoid law enforcement, in the other you maintain your honor if you literally kill yourself over doing something wrong.

Honestly, I think American society has been giving a lot of mixed signals recently about whether criminals need to comply with the police.

But when you're told your whole life "don't trust the police", "police are liars", "don't do what police tells you to", do you even have the correct information in your brain to make a rational assessment in those moments?
Logic works as long as your initial premises are correct. But if you were given the wrong premises by your family, by your entire environment, it doesn't matter what IQ you have, your logic will be faulty until you manage to fix your premises. Which is not an easy thing to do.
You can argue "when it’s says game over you don’t continue to play a video game", but what if badly set premises lead your logic to "the game is not actually over"? This is what I think might be going on. People who see an entirely different game world, because what they've been taught colors their perception.
