And secondly, is it unlawful to openly resist arrest by the police if you have not done anything wrong? This question in a police state of course would be meaningless.[/quote]

When you resist what the cop is trying to do you have opened yourself up to use of force.

bradclark said it right when you resist, you open yourself to a use of force. So lets start with the ecalation of force.
1st reason and verbalization....."Sir will you step outside"
2nd firm grip control..........starts failing arms
3rd control hold.......Bar arm control not allowed.....subj resists and ofcr unable to aplly hold
4th pepper spray.......inside auditorium with people, someone besides the supect is going to get the effects of the spray...might clear out the whole place
5th Nightstick/PR24.....not going to look good on the camera....Remember Rodney King....definitely going to be viewed as excessive force
5th Tazer.......probably most appropriate inside....doesn't look bad, easy to subdue resisting suspect.
Suspect was told to stop resisiting numerous times and warned that he would be tazed......He says no don't taze me, but he never stops failing around.......
