This happened to me. Cop said I "pulled away from him" when all I did was turn my head to talk to him. He then used a wrist lock to inflict pain on me without saying why. I suspect he wanted me to "resist" him for real, but I told him to twist it harder so that it would break and he stopped. That charge was dropped of course, I suspect that he pulls this shit all the time.

"HAHAHA! You really think you're strong enough to break my wrist you pussy?"
