    Fun fact, everyone resists arrest, when a person gets grabbed by someone they try to escape or fight back. It is fucking hard wired into us, it’s called fight or flight. Resisting arrest is completely made up. People with fight or flight response problems, like someone with PTSD, walk around all day long praying some fucking dumb ass cop doesn’t grab them for no reason. This is what causes humans to fight like a caged animal.

      Yup, they deliberately try to provoke anxiety because if you have a panic attack they can book you for disorderly conduct. It’s really cruel, especially for people with PTSD like you pointed out. A lot of veterans get arrested that way.
