Fuck off with this. This is exactly why people hate us on the left. We can’t be critical of some asshole because because of people like you.

Look at the damn video and how the cop hit his head and how his body was behaving trying to get back up.

You know how easy it is to die from a blow to the head with fucking pavement?

According to Google Not in NY. You can fight a charge for resisting arrest and have it dropped if it’s unlawful but you can’t legally resist arrest.

However, you truly have to be some kind of stupid to think resisting arrest is going to go well for you. You have a situation where the cop thinks they are in the right and you think you’re in the right.

We know cops are assholes and love a power trip, especially NYPD. AND knowing this makes you think resisting an arrest is your best course of action? That makes 0 sense.

Shit, even if it’s legal I still don’t understand in what world you’re going to convince a cop that’s already gotten physical to just relax and let you go. I rather be alive than dead right.

Also I feel like I have to say I’m a liberal because I know the only response people have here when someone doesn’t agree is some sort of go suck on trumps cock type of response.

We’re smart, we can have multiple ideas in our head at the same time. You can both think cops need to change AND agree this dude is a complete idiot for what he did.

> Unlawful arrest – A person may be found not guilty of resisting arrest if the arrest was done unlawfully, meaning, without a warrant or probable cause. It is not advisable, however, to argue the legality of an arrest as it is happening especially if the officer is acting in their capacity lawfully. It would be better to determine the legality of arrest when you have legal counsel and help on your side.

Upvote for link and advisements. It’s better to be wrong and alive than correct and dead is accurate and in NY you SHOULD wait until you have the legal counsel before “fighting” your arrest even if NYPD violates use of force guidelines making resisting a defensible action.

My first arrest ever, the cop tried to throw me down some stairs but I managed to balance myself and they ended up getting hurt. I got charged with assault on an officer while resisting arrest. At arraignment the judge asked what the initial arrest was for and LUCKILY the cops in my case didn’t think that far ahead so my felony charges disappeared and I ended up with a violation for harassment of an officer. I hear you and I agree with your advice in theory, but I have also lived my life.

you're not on the left if you're arguing this way man. what he did is clearly assault, there's no reason to give a free shoeshine with your tongue for a people who not only tackle innocent people daily, but shoot, tase, and beat them. the courts will fuck this guy enough, and we'll be paying the cop's disability suit, he doesn't need reddit """""leftist""""" virtue signaling.

Mass incarceration moment: less than 7% of felony arrests in NYC disposed in 2021 received a jail or prison sentence.

The cop is probably fine. Now he gets to “retire” from the force with a $100k a year disability pension and take a second job down in Florida or the Carolinas.
