The change, he argued, would help New Yorkers "get around this idea that you can resist arrest. You can't." It would also give cops an easy way to turn victims of their own worst impulses into the worst class of criminal.<br /><br />In theory, a resisting arrest charge allows the state to further punish suspects who endanger the safety of police officers as they're being apprehended; in practice, it gives tautological justification to cops who enjoy roughing people up. Why did you use force against that suspect, officer? Because she was resisting arrest. How do I know you're telling the truth? Because I charged her with it, sir.<br /><br />http://justice.gawker.com/nypd-has-a-plan-to-magically-turn-anyone-it-wants-into-1684017767?utm_campaign=socialflow_gawker_facebook&utm_source=gawker_facebook&utm_medium=socialflowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-20592141069532864352015-02-07T09:45:50.338-05:002015-02-07T09:45:50.338-05:00Hi C.G., do you mean the 'recent comments'...Hi C.G., do you mean the 'recent comments' function on the right hand side? You are the second person to comment about that.
