How is saying not resisting is justifying police behavior. I'm saying not to resist BECAUSE of police behavior. The cops came to this guys house to investigate an identify theft case. He flees in a car, car chase, abandons the car steals a horse then flees again ...... Do you really think the cops would have beaten him if he was peaceful at his house in the beginning?
Nothing good will ever happen if a suspect escalates the situation. Ever. This shouldn't even be an argument. This isn't condoning police behavior it's a way to protect yourself when facing the police.
I'm a long haired guy riding a black Harley with straight pipes in Florida, Georgia and Kentucky. I fit the Meth/pain pill/biker profile perfectly. I get pulled over 1-3 times a year, sometimes patted down, sometimes saddlebags searched, sometimes drunk tested.
Every time I could escalate the situation to a shitty ending. No matter how much of an ass the cop is I'm pleasant, respectful, have correct paperwork and after 5-10 minutes am on my way. Sometimes with a bullshit ticket but who cares.
