According to the great aggregater Arbroath,
The [surveillance] footage shows Holloway waiting outside Lawrence’s restaurant in Passaic [New Jersey] when a police cruiser pulls up and a female officer asks Holloway to zip up his sweatshirt. Holloway appears to comply, but in an instant, Officer Joseph Rios III jumps out and starts beating him.
Well, damn. The beaten Ronnie Holloway is on medication for mental illness. What’s Officer Joseph Rios III’s excuse for not taking his? Mr. Holloway was arrested and charged with resisting arrest. That’s the invisible part, the “resisting arrest” business. The other unseen event is where Rios’ fellow officers jump in and uphold the law, instead of just watching the maniacal Officer Jospeh Rios III go batshit on Mr Holloway, before they all agree to arrest and charge him.
