None of that matters, nor does being obstinate. There is a fundamental problem when the cops continue to use force on a person who is on their back in the street. You have a cop swinging a baton at your knees when you’re on your back and you won’t behave like a docile little cow that does whatever order they bark, you will attempt to block blows.
The cops need retraining. It is obvious as you watch police response that they been trained to use overwhelming force and IMHO, the cops have been trained to ESCALATE situations instead of defusing situations.
