PFT: Houston police arrest Adrian Peterson for resisting arrest

[SirClintonPortis]

Whether Peterson pushed the cop or not, cops are known to ALWAYS throw resisting arrest onto the list of charges, even when you are on the ground and they are beating you. It's somehow an offense against their royal person to graze or bump them. The resisting charge is notoriously hard to prove too. If there's more meat to it (though sometimes just as spurious) there would be an ASSAULT charge.

I would say part of the reason cops act in such scummy ways is that if they break the rules, they have NO accountability whatsoever because there is no separate entity to "police" them. The government is like an old boys club, with the groups within working in tandem with each other.

mmm hmm, and fair play to you for noticing that early in this thread.

Shame many of the rest of the posters couldnt.
