>>>>>He was placed under arrest
Because an officer LIED and claimed the dog smelled drugs in the trunk. Those drugs were not there. First they committed an illegal search of his trunk, then they made a false claim of drugs that did not exist, and finally they arrested an innocent man without probable cause or warrant.
Furthermore he's a fucking church reverend!
Might as well take Reverend Marlin Luther King Jr and
start beating him just because he asked to end segregation.
They didn't say that there were drugs or a person in the car, just that the dog alerted, dogs are not 100%, whether or not that actually happened, you nor I will ever know. Officers say it did, guy says it didn't (and he didn't even know what to look for).
Based on the officer's statements he did have probable cause for the arrest: the dog alerting in combination with his evasive and uncooperative attitude, it would lead a reasonable person to think he was hiding something.
Yes it is unfortunate that 'being evasive and uncooperative' contributes to probable cause, but it does. There is tons of case-law to support it.
He would have been much better off by cooperating with the arrest and then if it turned out to be false, sue the police department for wrongful arrest. But by resisting the arrest, he validated it.
As citizens we are not allowed to resist arrest, even a wrongful one (like all things related to the law, some exceptions exist). If you don't like that, write your congress person, or become a lawyer or something.
His profession as a reverend is irrelevant, reverends do many illegal and immoral things, they are human just like everyone else. Even if it was a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card, the officers at the time don't exactly have the ability to verify that, who is to say the person they have in front of them is an actual reverend or a drug mule saying he is a reverend with some faked documents.
Regarding your ramblings about the gas chambers: Grow up, he is a US citizen on US soil he had zero chance of being put in a gas chamber that day.
