Convulsions from multiple tazering and hits into the head and spine. It is a catch-22 for the victim - police tazers you, you convulse, ie. resist, thus giving them plausible cause to tazer you more and/or in this particular case to hit your head, neck into the curb, etc... when they hit your head (or kidneys - they professionally trained and very experienced in how to hit you) the brain and spine nervous tissue shock make you convulse, ie. resist, ... loop continues.
Right, well put ... and to the bystander's credit, he was asking the question rhetorically. But you're right: basically your own death throes become "resistance".
And to answer my own question: I'd like to think I'd step forward as a witness, even though it might mean a few years of harassment.
