My wife is a paralegal who works in criminal law. Based on how they charged the officer what they are going to try to do is hang him for not telling the man he was under arrest and reading his rights before cuffing him. On this technicality they can push false arrest and assault as the predicate crime.

If they try to imprison an innocent man defending us from scum on that technicality: I think Republicans should riot.

If it comes to that, they are trying to use the law to kill us. It's Germany's gas chambers.

So I don't know that you have to tell someone before cuffing them. I even have a friend who is big into jiu jitsu and teaches police how to arrest people and he always told me cops are trained to NOT give away that they are about to arrest you. This is in Canada but I'd be surprised at having to give a guy notice before cuffing him for exactly the reason seen in this case.

I'm sorry I know no law that says you have to read miranda before you cuff. This scenario is EXACTLY WHY! People go fucking mental when they think they will be arrested.

Does she happen to know the law states that you must obey the orders of officers or be in violation of the resisting arrest statute? I'm kind of surprised by it myself, but what can you do..legislators and lawyers are basically lazy idiots looking for more guaranteed work. Poorly written laws are the way to get it done.
