In this most recent incident, at least, he was cooperating with police (who entered his home with an arrest warrant) until they refused to provide their names and badge numbers. At that time he dropped to the floor and refused to speak. He didn't actively resist their arrest, but did refuse to cooperate in any way. I believe that taking the "suspect" to the hospital in this case is putatively for his own safety, just in case the reason he's unresponsive is that he's having a seizure or some other medical issue. But from Julian case, it appears that sometimes this is treated as an invitation to "soften him up". (fwiw, I've never met Julian, but I've communicated with him by email and get regular updates on his work)
