it is like a person in a police choke hold would naturally/instinctively start to convulse trying to grasp for air, and that is naturally "resisting arrest" which, beside the benefit of being an additional charge (or even the only charge that would stick), allows to immediately escalate the application of force to any level the police feels like.
