Ocean was not co-operative but did stay calm in comparison to the rather unprofessional cursing police officers.
Hard to make a judgment without seeing the build up. The other skaters have already left the ice. Why didn't Ocean?
Once the officers have committed to making an arrest, they cannot back down. That would set an horrible precedent. After that point, Ocean is resisting arrest and becomes in the wrong regardless of whether the arrest reason was reasonable.
It must be frustrating and difficult for peace officers being directed to enforce laws and regulations they may not even support. That's on the politics not them.
