Resisting Arrest

Resisting arrest, no matter how idiotic or even illegal that arrest is--not that legality according to human governments makes any stance or action valid at all--is itself an arrestable offense under American law.  This is a manifestation of the irrationality in authoritarianism, the ideology holding that those with a certain position or title deserve submission or special respect.  People are expected to yield to arbitrary conventions or to authority figures rather than reason and morality.  Since all laws are inherently irrational unless they are in perfect alignment with moral obligations, the police would not be above these things.  If no moral obligations exist, then there is no basis for any legal statutes and penalties at all, and everyone who instates, supports, or carries them out is by necessity irrational.

Neither mere human laws nor the people tasked with enforcing them (in America, the police) have any validity or value unless they wholly overlap with that which is true independent of human activities, civilizations, and presence.  Agreement, convention, convenience, and emotional appeal have nothing to do with whether a law is good or authoritative in the only ways that could possibly matter.  To arrest someone for pointing out that an action does not even conflict with meaningless human laws or that a law is irrational altogether and then refusing to comply with it is, if morality exists, unjust, and it if morality does not exist, it is still irrational.

The laws of logic are the supreme and only intrinsic authority, from which all other truths are dictated or revealed.  All other things must be consistent with them to be possible at all.  All beings must be in submission to them in order to be in the right.  God himself and whatever moral obligations are very likely grounded in his nature are the only other things that a person has to submit to in order to have legitimate standing to tell others what to believe or how to live.  Where there is no error, it does not matter what tradition or conscience or preference would lead someone to do left to themselves; there is no logical truth being neglected and no moral obligation being violated.  There could this be no basis for arrest.

It is asinine that any police officer is allowed to arrest someone for resisting an illegitimate arrest.  With accurate and even potentially belittling words, with physical force proportionate to that of the unjust officer, and with passion or even rationalistically managed hatred lurking below the surface, to resist anyone, police or not, there cannot be anything invalid about resisting arrest for something that does not deviate from reason and morality.  To resist even by killing such a person could not be erroneous, not on the Biblical worldview (then this flagrant, careless arrest would be kidnapping, which is classified as a capital sin in Exodus 21:16), just something that might be irrationally condemned by a community of delusional slaves to assumptions or preferences.
