refusing to show your id until the id of every white kid in the library is check ed so you can feel normal just draws a lot of suspicion.
being somewhere that you're not allowed to (because you don't have id) = tresspassing
passivly resisting arrest = still resisting arrest
screaming at cops and physically trying to get their hands off you....
trying to get other students to join your resistance....
other students demanding to get officers' badge numbers while they're dealing with an active situation...
hmmmm
they might have taken it a tad to far - but these damn liberal hippie college kids that think they know all their rights and are prepared to try to exercise every last inch of them simply to prove a point really need a boot to the head sometimes to remind them who's boss

Im assuming both the lawyer and wintesses are correct. thus far, I have no reason to believe otherwise. You on the otherhand have chosen to disregard the information provided to you. I'm not climbing any high horse here...
