It should be reasonable to resist that. How can anyone tell that is a lawful arrest vs an assault/prelude to kidnapping?

- njharman 10y agoThat document seems to describe the ideal of the law. The reality is much different. DA's will side with and protect police, courts will believe police testimony over mine or other citizens. It also, mostly deals with citizens. not off duty police who can appear as citizens but then, after fact, apply/claim their authority as LEO. Case in point, the man in above article is still being charged even though he was resisting a bogus arrest. Despite that article saying that "won't" happen.
