I wasn't perfect but I certainly wasn't putting myself in situations where I would then refuse to comply with the orders of policeman.

Refusing to comply with a policeman does give them the right to use appropriate force.

If I was arrested, I would be treated with respect because I wouldn't act like a dumbass.

You seem to imply that the student was complying and thus a simple arrest would have occurred. How much force should he have used? What is defined as excessive? 

oh look at the clock, it's sucking up to authority time
