'I'm Not Resisting Arrest,' Man Screams at Officers — but Watch the Entire Video

New video shows three people allegedly resisting arrest at an apartment complex in Austin, Texas, Nov. 6, including one man who can be heard shouting, "I'm not resisting arrest."

Three people were arrested: the person shooting the video, the person in the video and his younger brother. The person in the video, Louis Aguilar, said the reason he got physical with cops was because they pushed his mother down, KTBC-TV reported.

The video surfaced after some citizens have begun to question whether Texas should change the law to better describe what "resisting arrest" actually looks like. But  Kevin Lawrence, head of Texas’ largest law enforcement union, suggested it's best to keep the law as it is.

"If it's an illegal arrest, you fight that later. You file an internal affairs, a complaint with the Texas Rangers, the FBI, a civil suit, whatever," Lawrence said. "There's a significant portion of our population who, somehow, one way or another, has got it in their head that they don't have to obey a police officer, a lawful command from a police officer."

As KTBC-TV noted in its report, the current Texas law about "resisting arrest" reads as follows: "A person commits an offense if he intentionally prevents or obstructs a person he knows is a peace officer or a person acting in a peace officer's presence and at his direction from effecting arrest, search or transportation of the actor or another by using force against the peace officer or another."

So was Aguilar resisting arrest, even as he shouted he wasn't resisting arrest?

Watch the video and decide for yourself:

Aguilar was charged with resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. The charges against the other two people were not immediately clear.

The Austin Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TheBlaze.
