Can You Resist Police Violence?

From the article:

“If daring to question, challenge or even hesitate when a cop issues an order can get you charged with resisting arrest or disorderly conduct, you’re not the master in a master-servant relationship. In fact, you’re not even the servant—you’re the slave.” John W. Whitehead

LOL.

I've often wondered, can one be charged with "failure to obey an officer" with no other crime.....or is that one of those tag on charges?

I can charge you with it. It's a bs charge but isn't a tax on. Usually you'll get a trespassing or other misdemeanor cite as well

I've heard of someone being charged with "failure to obey an officer" and "resisting arrest". Don't you have to be under arrest for something first though, LOL.

I have read about supreme court decisions reinforcing that citizens do in fact have the right to resist unlawful arrest, even with force if necessary. But I find that I ask myself how far would I really be willing to take that. Surrounded, probably outgunned depending on the day of the week.... and if you survive then most likely will have the media, local government, and uniformed populace stacked against you for any proceedings following said resisting unlawful arrest. Or do you just take the bs charge, get your stuff stolen (i mean seized), go to jail, and get a lawyer......who hopefully can get said charges thrown out and maybe get your stuff back. Kinda sucks though, we live in a society where rights and legal innocence have to be essentially bought back if someone decides they want to take them from you.

I think you can resist police violence if you are an FBI agent...

Aurora municipal code 94-383 resisting arrest charge:
"It is no defense to a charge brought under this section that the peace officer was attempting to make an arrest which in fact was unlawful, if he or she was acting under color of official authority, and in attempting to make the arrest he or she was not resorting to unreasonable or excessive force giving rise to the right of self-defense. "

So, be careful
