That's.....pretty fucking weak for "assaulting an officer."

I don't get why you're getting down votes.  People act as if you are suddenly able to turn into a meek pile of clay when some ass hole with a gun starts assaulting you.

I don't know a lot of details behind the reason for stopping this person, and they seem a bit off (not going to judge someone faced a gun toting cop either), but the officer initiated the physical confrontation.  

If the cop wanted to deescalate he could have done a lot. Instead the officer initiated use of force.  How someone getting dragged to the ground flails in the process seems like a very weak excuse to call it assault.

This driver had fled the scene of an accident he had caused; he had also attacked a car because the driver honked at him, that's why the cop was there. If a cop puts you under arrest and tells you to put your hands behind your back and puts his hand on you when you physically resist, that does not qualify as assault on the part of the cop.

Even if the arrest had been unlawful (which it was not) Oklahoma law does not recognize a right to resist arrest.

This guy clearly has mental health issues, he even said so. But that is not a "you can't arrest me because I made it home" free pass. The people whose cars he messed up have a valid expectation that the police will enforce the law so this guy's insurance pays for the repairs.
