Agree on both points. But what happens when suspects

resist those non-violent charges? If he had refused to give them his ID how would they have simply ticketed him? That is the underlying problem here, people always focus on the initial crime but do not take into account that things are often escalated during the encounter.

Again too use a classroom comparison, I have had kids tell me 'you got me suspended for sitting in the wrong seat.'. No the truth is that you were sitting in the wrong seat and when I asked you to move you refused. When I insisted that you move to your correct seat you called me a f^cking *****. But in the kids mind he was suspended for sitting in the wrong seat.

These situations get escalated, seldom by the cops. Does anyone believe that a cop walks up to a call thinking 'I want to turn this into a shlt show'. Now once it starts going downhill the difference between a good cop and a bad one is their ability to keep control of the situation. Bad ones believe this is done by turning Barny Feif which often ends badly.
