“Also, in closing arguments, it is shown that Thomas never stops fighting and resisting arrest.”
Are you aware that the blanket charge thrown at almost EVERYONE, in an arrest situation is “RESISTING ARREST”? Its usually a bogus throwaway charge, to get a person for *something*. If you so much as flinch in surprise, and pull away from an officer when they grab your arms, its “ resisting arrest.”
Try to not fight back when someone is smashing your face in. Natural survival instincts kick in, and you'll be flailing about to save your life too.
