if any law enforcement agent initiated my arrest with that kind of force, I can assure you that i'll be dialing up marine corps style lethal force at that point.

I know there are privacy concerns and worries about the integrity of the police. But if I don't give my DNA, I don't have a shot at getting cleared on those grounds.
Now, if I'm guilty I obviously have an interest in not having giving a sample, and I wouldn't want to volunteer one. It should probably be treated like a search of personal property--i.e. compelled by a warrant (or, as is surely the more common case, acquired through trickery).

Rat, take these words to heart and hold them close, dear friend. The police are not there to help you or be your buddy and clear your name. They are there to investigate for criminal activity and arrest those they suspect. Cooperating with police when you are the suspect is a unwise thing at best, for you may be innocent of the crime they are investigating you for, but anything you say or do will be used against you in any other case, and that would include volunteering a dna sample. Do not talk to the police, ever. Let a lawyer do your talking for you.
