Amazing how easy it is to divert people from a point. He gets arrested for resisting arrest and everybody seems to think he got arrested for speaking. I try to point this out, and everybody assumes I'm defending the police. No wonder people are so easily propagandized.
We have much different opinions about what constitutes “resisting arrest” then.
I saw none of that.
I saw a guy onto whom pounced law enforcement. He did turn to sit down, he didn’t in my opinion resist arrest.
I hope this charge is thrown out. Sure arrest him for exceeding the time limit, but a felony arrest for resisting arrest is wildly over the top.
I am very disappointed.
The Founding Fathers didn't envision a country where the peasants are charged with felony "resisting" for not IMMEDIATELY groveling before Farce Enlawment Orifices.
A felony is where you go to a Blue Donut Blimp's house afterwards and "explain" things to him. I would qualify that as a felony.
Oh, bullfeathers! I watched it and there was no resistance on his part. This is a trumped up charge.
The police constantly saying "Stop Resisting!" does not constitute actual resisting. It is a phrase police are trained to automatically say so when they appear in court two months later, that is what witnesses remember. In this case, it has nothing to do with the actions of the man they arrested. He was peacefully complying.
This is disgraceful. Tyranny, actually.
What's next - saying "Stop Resisting!" and then saying using a bully club to knock the arrested unconscious is "justifiable force"? That is the next step in this shameful process.
This is a worth a felony charge? I call it bullshit!!
