Resisting the Authorities is not Wise

If you do not want to be treated badly then don't commit crimes. The police departments have some bad people in them, they will not do things as they should. The best way to avoid trouble with the police is to avoid doing crimes.

If a believer is falsely accused do not smart mouth and do not resist.

Matthew 5:38-39 "38 You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; 40 if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;…"

Romans 13:1-14
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ...

Now for the final admonition: Never pay attention to news clips that only give half the story, this is foolish to do so. Until you are on the jury to hear all the evidence you cannot take a side.
