The system is in place so that the officers can safely conduct their business and if the over reach the citizen has recourse. It does not provide the citizen with authority to defend with violence.

Agreed. Police have a difficult job, and while they may receive a good deal of thanks, they are faced much more often and more directly with animosity. In this digital era there is almost always going to be a way to bring actions against the police after the fact, but if you resist in the immediate then you have done nothing but escalated the situation. Comply, be polite, take down a badge number of whatever, and file a complaint. That's the best way to ensure everyone's safety.
