Man gets attacked by violent cops in Miami, apparently looking for someone in a large Halloween crowd to vent their rage on. The attack get's videotaped and put on youtube, and the department starts an investigation.

The victim was charged with several crimes, but they were dropped after the publicity.

Except for one - the charge of "resisting arrest without violence". Apparently, to cover your head with your hands as you lay defenseless on the ground while several police officers pound on you is resisting arrest.

Maybe the prosecutor just wanted to send a message about getting back at those who embarrass the department.
