I think officers must be coached to yell "Stop Resisting" while beating people (who aren't resisting). I've noted it a few of these incidents. https://www.face

This is exactly the case. It also turns up in shootings, when there's footage.

  The purpose is to create evidence to support their affirmative defense that the victim was resisting arrest. Pretty much the definition of pre-meditation and also the very definition of corruption.

Think? We know this is the case. We also know they're coached on what to say in court. It shouldn't be surprising that when we officially give them different legal standards based on yelling (or testifying) certain magic phrases, they opt into the lower standards. But for just "stop resisting", see the Newport Beach recruitment video here: http://www.theagitator.com/2012/07/05/two-videos-two-cities-two-attitudes/ http://www.theagitator.com/2012/07/05/two-videos-two-cities-...
