Resisting. So the punishment for not obeying the jack booted master is a full on beating?
Wow, I mean. . . if he were being pursued after a serious crime that’s one thing.
But the guy isn’t going to make it far.
He’s a slug.
I hate this “obey or get beat” mentality.
Cops need to learn and exercise appropriate discretion.
When does getting beat to stop resisting, become Oh my God...I have to get away from this nutcase beating my head in?
This is where I have the issue...when the stop becomes full on assault. They beat him and tasered him for ...resisting? I’d want to get away from these nutjob cops too.

An excerpt:
From the cop’s perspective, the expression “law-abiding citizen” is a functional synonym for “Properly obedient slave.” Not only did the uppity Mundane refuse to submit, he actually behaved as if he was the rightful owner of his person and property: “It was almost like he had the attitude of you – you cannot tell me what to do with my gun in my, you know, in my castle.”
Slave-keepers don’t have to ask permission to invade the servants’ quarters, and slaves have no right to protect the sanctity of their person or effects. In his study of 18th Century slave patrols – the largely unacknowledged ancestors of today’s “professional” police agencies — historian Philip L. Reichel points out that “patrols had full power and authority to enter any plantation and break open Negro houses or other places where slaves were suspected of keeping arms; to punish runaways or slaves found outside of their masters’ plantations without a pass; [and] to whip any slave who should affront or abuse them in the execution of their duties….”
No-knock midnight raids; gun confiscation; “stop-and-frisk”-style demands for identification that quickly escalate to violence and arrest; summary punishment for “contempt of cop” – all of these practices would be immediately recognizable to 18th century slaves. They would probably find it incomprehensible that people who consider themselves to be free would allow such practices to continue.
