Squirming does not equal resisting.

You could say that, fine, but tell me why it took 4 seconds and several blows to the head for three 200+ pound men to contain his arm if he wasn't resisting? I didn't see a leg on his throat until the arm was contained. What would you call swatting away a cops hand when he's simply to trying to grab your arm? If he didn't swat his hand I seriously doubt he would of ended up on the ground like that
