No charges filed for anything other than “resisting arrest”. “Resistance is futile.” (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)

I can't see those charges holding up without another criminal charge worthy of arrest.

You need reasonable suspicion that a crime was committed to make a lawful arrest.

Without some other worthy charge, it would seem he had a right to resist and that the officer is guilty of a civil rights violation.

But alas.. on clown world, things like truth, justice, logic, and reasoning don't necessarily apply.

I happened upon this short article and, believe it or not, it’s from NPR but is a reasonable explanation, even if it is not all encompassing. The guy failed to mention that a person’s Constitutional rights might be violated in the case of resisting arrest with no other charges.
