I don't think resisting arrest is a legally defendable right. It is, legally, a crime in and of itself, separate from the reason one is being questioned or followed by the police. I don't agree with it, as it gives the police way too much power, but it is the law. If a cop wants to arrest you for being black, they can. You'll be released, and the police station can easily be sued later, but if you resist that arrest, you're committing a crime.
