He'll ask question after question until he gets to one that isn't the exact right answer.

Seems like these officers were intent on doing something until they had a good enough reason to say he "resisted".  To the point that they lied on the report.

(The video linked to the story picks up right before he is tased.  About 8 minutes in.)

I know, I know...stand there surrounded by police because it takes 5 or 6 to write a parking ticket...and never EVER speak back even in the calmest voice or "you asked for it".

btw, here's the report:

Haven't seen the video and can't watch it at work, but from everything I've read about this, it seems that BOTH parties share a little bit of blame. First and foremost, the police are the ones mainly responsible because it should never have gotten to the point of tackling and tasing Brown. However, Brown also should've just complied in any matter as possible. Yes, it would've sucked. Yes, he shouldn't have had to, but I don't understand the thinking that if a cop is being unnecessarily antagonistic, then you should be antagonistic back. Especially if you have the resources of a professional athlete. You return the antagonism with 10 times the niceness and respect. Once you're away, you get a lawyer, call the press, and make a big stink about it then.

But, again, I haven't seen the video and am only going off of news reports and various responses and comments I've seen made by people.
