I would probably resist and get beaten up a bit more by the officers. And then I would be hauled away to jail, read my rights and interrogated, and later have my day in court. Justice is served.

That said, what is and isn't a crime, and the punishment doled out for crimes (like resisting arrest when you are unsure they are police) is worth criticism. I don't think these protestors necessarily deserve felonies. But I haven't really seen people criticizing this; they seem more shocked that officers can enforce law with arrests and riot control.

Should quantify “beaten up a bit more” since peeps are having bones broken as well as losing eyesight from “less than lethal” shotgun rounds. Great, you got your day in court. But you’re handicapped for life.

If the officer’s can’t handle extra attention caused by blatantly identifying themselves as officers, they should pick a new profession. Because what they are doing now is just escalating an already bad situation.
