Its funny how all the problems happen when the police get involved isnt it?

Here's a cold hard fact of life that everyone should heed:
When you are dealing with police officers, it's ALWAYS best to cooperate.
Resisting or arguing with the officer is utterly fruitless.
If you feel that you're being treated wrongly, take it up in court after the fact.

I'll generally agree with you on this, but there are some times when resisting arrest or otherwise the officer(s) themselves is absolutely the right course of action, although it may not...generally speaking...be the safest.
Definitely a hard point in court (usually), but resisting an UNlawful arrest is on the book as legal and defensible, in the right situations.

Just saying these conversations arent possible if they choose the right course of action.

I have a source and a video to support my post.
The "groping" was a quick press to make sure there was nothing in her bra that felt like a weapon. When a woman is wearing a dress like that with no pockets, she will often use her bra to store items.

You are a right comedian, it was more of a caress than a press..big trouble then if it was Tina Turner in Mad Max...where's the fecking can opener?
This is where I differ a little from the OP, it's quite clear that the officer is young and jumped back a couple of times when the lady objected, and probably had a conflict of interest herself about what she was likely given the task of doing.
I can contrast the "routine" of being searched after being detained with another thread here about a woman being detained by an officer, by just grabbing her, pushing her face onto the bonnet/hood of a car and then punching her lights out repeatedly while he screams, "stop resisting" another comedian obviously, and no she had done nothing either.

There's a thin line between "gentle search" and "caress."

I'm so glad you removed the rest of your post, the sentence you leave, I agree..it's the thin 'blue' line.

People are expected to obey the law and if they don't, police officers are expected to follow the proper procedures as they carry out their duty.
yes they are. which is exactly why the protest was happening in the first place.
