while resisting arrest

That's the catch all charge that explains away why cops beat someone. It's wildly abused. If you struggle while they hit you, they call that resisting arrest. And I speak from personal experience here.

I agree it isn't a race thing though. There's, I am sure, a few racist cops out there but in general cops just like to bully people. You never see on the news when they beat up a white guy but they love doing that too.
