Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987), Brennan, J. However, in the City of Orange, verbal challenge of police actions or police orders will often get one beaten and/or tased and/or pepper-sprayed and then falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted for some fabricated “resistance offense”, such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing a officer), Cal. Penal Code § 240/241 (assault on officer), Cal. Penal Code § 242 / 243(b) & (c) (battery on officer causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with the weapon). This is normal.
