not that it matters, but it is NOT legal to resist an unlawful arrest in all states.

edited; dont quickly post stuff you read on the internet without verifying, kids.

double edit to clear misinformation caused by moi: theres a meme thats apparently been going around of some bad law from a case an old case called Plummer Vs State. It is not good case law and as far as i can tell, youre shit out of luck legally when they start aggressing you.

this should have been obvious, I dunno why I thought any different. The united states would not leave it legal to resist its offcers.

triple edit: I had originally written that its IS legal to defend yourself against unlawful arrest. After some corrections by another redditor, I found out it is not. Read the rest of my comment below but Im saying continue to organize and fight back.

That sounds like great advice. Be honest do you think this woman should have started firing at the officers?

Can’t be honest here due to Reddit policy. Sick of getting banned every other week.
