Failure to respond to lawful orders has gotten you beaten down since the dawn of man.
And it was against the law in America for 200 years. Something about cruel and unusual punishment.
We have something called a jury here. Ever heard of that? The presumption of innocence?
Police can ONLY use force when they are threatened or their life is in danger.
Worked a case recently where someone took a picture of a police officer riding a motorcycle because they liked the bike. Against the law in all states now and $1000 fine.
Stalin would be proud.
Actually police can use force to make an arrest with a non compliant person
There are different levels. If such was not the case then there would be very few arrests.
Your are confusing when police are allowed to use deadly force
For example:
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has stated that " in diffusing situations, apprehending alleged criminals, and protecting themselves and others, officers are legally entitled to use appropriate means, including force."
They weren't arresting anyone here so how am I confused?
Sitting down is not resisting arrest as the Supreme Court ruled on that in the late 50s in civil rights cases.
"apprehending alleged criminals"
Respectfully, how were they apprehended?

POST standards are real clear on this. Turns out these were campus police and they most likely knew nothing of THE LAW.
I have taken POST training. These officers are suspended for just cause. What they did was against the law.
