As much as I crusade against excessive force used by police people have to understand that they can not resist arrest. Here is the dumbets line from the story
Naturally, the young boy tried to defend himself by pulling the cops arm off of him,
There is nothing "natural" about resisting a police officer. This type of perception is what makes the problem worse.
For example, what if this guy just happened to fit the description of someone the police were looking for on other charges?
You never win by resisting arrest. Some police violate peoples rights. I don't think anyone here will deny that. If the police violate your rights the only way to win is in a courtroom. You can't try to fight them on the streets or resist their orders.
