Police now trying to subdue by force and you see the result of suspect non-compliance to officers original orders. Again, self fulfilling prophecy.

It rare that persons who resist arrest are so charged, the jurisdictions I am familiar with require more paperwork from supervisory personnel when charging "resisting Arrest" this discourages that action, then if found guilty the resisting charge is made to run concurrently, at the same time of the other charges, so its a no loose situation for the offender, regardless there are law firms that do nothing but sue the jurisdiction for damages , often they settle being cheaper to toss them a few buck than fight it
