Did she or did she not, in your words, “Resist a direct police order?”
Answer the question please:
Did she or did she not, in your words, “Resist a direct police order?”
Yes or no?
Did she or did she not “Resist a direct police order?”
Because to most IMPARTIAL people, he told her personally, at least THREE times to disperse and leave the scene, which she not only did NOT do, but was DELIBERATELY inflaming the situation.
So, answer the question please. Did she or did she not “Resist a direct police order?”
If she did NOT “Resist a direct police order?”, what was she doing? An order was given. Multiple times. She didn’t leave the scene.
So, if you, as an IMPARTIAL observer, must concede, that she WAS “Resisting a direct police order?”, IS THAT OR IS THAT NOT GROUNDS FOR ARREST?
Yes or No?
In YOUR world, IS THAT OR IS THAT NOT GROUNDS FOR ARREST, YES OR NO?
Please answer the question.
What she was doing at that very moment, if she was resisting arrest or not, is irrelevant.
Instead, she could have been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, and the officer could have justified his actions.
But without an arrest, it is difficult for an officer to justify a use of force.
