on suspicion of resisting arrest
Now THAT’S a creative charge....
Yes, it sure is. It was interesting reading about the 180 degree switch from what could only be described as a passive resistance by the police to the cursing, screaming throngs of protesters. That day they were all about protecting free speech and giving the protestors a lot of freedom that most individuals by themselves or in small groups will never enjoy.
Then after a few bricks were thrown, resulting in one LEO being transported to the hospital for a serious head injury; when some clown tossed a lit flare at police officers; and when the protestors ripped down fencing separating them from local freeways; then LEOs realized that the game was on. They needed to change strategy and hold the police line a bit tighter.
Protestors used to the LEOs' initial passive resistance apparently are now displeased by the changes.
