Maybe Swimmer can clear up one point for me.

I'm not anti police in any way. My next door neighbor , who was a police officer all the time I knew him , essentially taught me 'serious" fishing.
My question...
Shouldn't the officers say "You are under arrest" before trying to get physical?
I just don't think the person is resisting arrest if he hasn't been placed under arrest.

I guess In this case i would look for

1. the officer walks up and tells the guy to leave the mic. if he refuses , the officer says leave or you will be arrested for tresspassing 9or disturbing the peace or whatever). If he still refusses , the officer says you are under arrest and then grabs him to escort him out. If he then fights , he's resisting arrest.


i just don't understand why they simply start ganging up on him when no one has placed him under arrest. He even asks "Am I under arrest?" No weapon , no violence to that point.

This part i don't get. Please enlighten us.
