1. Definition of Resisting Arrest: What am I being charged with? What crime do you think I have

committed? Why do I need to produce "my papers"?

[heaven05]

2. listening to that voice of authority

makes me sick.....not, "is anything wrong sir, just "get out the car" loud and arrogant. Then threats punctuated by cursing. What a fucking joke this clown is and his partner also What goes around, comes around, I hope. This whole thing makes me livid. THIS IS AMERIKKKA, 2015.

5. Losing his job is not enough punishment for this cop.

6. The cop obviously committed a violent crime

and his punishment is to lose his job. Anyone else would be doing hard time in a hostile environment.

7. I don't think it's a crime if a cop or a billionaire does it. In America, anyway. nt

8. Why is he still being charged?

I can understand driving with suspended license, but the three other charges?

Same incident- another angle.

14. all three of them scared shitless of a guy having a stroke

All are lucky that the taser didn't connect -- if a driver is seated in a vehicle, engine running and you taser him, his body will spasm, his feet are near the gas pedal...

I see that one officer has resigned but nothing on the stroke victim. I hope he is okay/recovering.

10. This is fucking sickening. These cops, both of them should never wear the uniform again.

They tazed him and sprayed him because he wasn't following orders. Well fuck them.

Jesus is growing weary of this shit.

11. This is horrible, this is racist criminal brutality sanctioned. I hate this & what was done to this

poor innocent man in acute medical distress. This country...

12. Have they become so afraid that they can no longer do their jobs properly?

Like someone said above, what happened to are you alright first? He wasn't threatening or violent so a question or two about why you aren't getting out would have been proper, what was the rush? They cannot deal with people who don't do what they demand immediately.

13. "Do you understand why you had to get sprayed?"

I don't.
