As Chris Rock said in his hilarious video “How Not To Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police” ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj0mtxXEGE8 ) “If the Police have to come and get you, they’re going to be bringing an ass-kicking with them...” (Referring to Rodney King)
Same goes with resisting arrest with a weapon on your body. Especially in an area where cops see bad guys all the time wearing the same clothes, moving the same way, saying the same things.
I always think when I read these kinds of things, that I might give the benefit of the doubt, and perhaps the person was not a bad person but maybe carrying an unlicensed gun for protection. Not smart, but possible in those areas. But when you resist arrest, that kind of throws all possible forbearance out the window.
