People are not robots and they react when the violence against them is at that

fight back. They think they are being killed rather than being restrained.
The female is not doing the right thing but neither is the cop.
In fact I think the plain clothes cop is rather nasty and over did it whether legal
or not.

You have very valid point - put someone in a choke hold and they will fight back. But when your being questioned by the police AND your out numbered, your best bet to is to submitted.
In 2004 I had the joy of being part of a full felony stop. To make a long story short, I pulled away from a marked cop car at a very high rate of speed. I never saw the cop, and he assumed I was running from him. Before he hit the lights he was calling for back up, thinking I had drugs or a dead body in the trunk. Full felony stop, shut down the freeway, hands out to the window, searchlights, down on the pavement until I was cuffed.
I could have been a dick about it. I also could have ended up with a face full of gravel.
I have zero respect for anyone who doesn't have respect for law enforcement. Period.
