Resisting Arrest will be the Get Away Free Tactic for the next while
Did you see that video of the two (female) NYPD cops who tried to place one of Obama's sons under arrest in da hood? It was maybe two months ago, on YouTube.
The guy just overpowered both of them when they tried to cuff him, pushed them away, and walked off, while the surrounding crowd (including the individual who captured the video on his phone) hooted, jeered, and applauded.
Both cops decided against pulling their piece and using deadly force.
When I saw it, I remember thinking "there are going to be consequences to this."
Yes, pulling your arm away and saying don’t touch me is actions deserving of being jumped on and choked. Seriously, what lunatics live in this world where they think jack booted thuggery by police is justified?
This man was not threating to anyone, he was not being violent to anyone... he could have and should have been arrested without any incident. If you think after watching the video tape that this guy was a threat to anyone or resisting in a way that warranted violence you are just a full on idiot and there is no point even trying to talk to you because your world view is one where police have abject authority...
They demand your papers you better damned well offer them up or its your fault they club you about the head and neck.
What absolute idiotic drivel is being espoused by some here, the stand they are taking belongs at Democratic Underground. The US of A is NOT a police state, at least its not supposed to be, and its disturbing as hell to watch people trying to argue that this guys resisting warranted the reaction from the cops.
