"During an arrest, you think since you are not guilty, how can they arrest you? Why should you run away? And how can you resist right then? After all, you’ll only make your situation worse; you will make it more difficult for them to sort out the mistake.

Because you have too much to lose.
First of all, you will submit because you will think they ``made a mistake`` :

But let's say that is not your case... then you will not resist because you have STUFF to lose. Let's remember that we live in a materialist society and all the crap we buy is so ``important``... Ipads, internet, car, house or whatever.
Then if you do not care about that, you will care about what you do all day... if you resist, you won't be able to go on the internet, or play sports, or watch your favorite tv show or movie or do hiking.
Even if you have given up all that and decide to resist, then the government still has one thing against you and it's the most powerful thing : your family and friends. Resist and your cousin/friend/mother will lose her home/job... your kids will be taken by CPS... your sister's kids will be taken by CPS. So to save your friends/family, you will take the fall, and you'll even be happy about it.
Don't believe me? This is what happened during the Stalin era. It will happen again. Still don't believe me? Read The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.edit on 30-12-2011 by Vitchilo because: (no reason given)

Honestly, knowing that this will likely occur it would make me resist, run and when it occurs find the ones responsible and destroy them in the most inhumane way possible. You don't mess with family.
Just because you give up and submit doesn't mean that someone else will. Your submission only strengthens the wrongdoings by those who would disarm America and take hostage for expressing your Constitutional right.

Are you sure you don’t mean why you WILL resist? Seems like I have too much to lose by NOT resisting!! If they are coming for me then I’m about to lose everything already. If ever there was a time to fight…I think that would be it.

The Dark Ages never left, they've been here all along hiding under the surface. The only difference is people can read and write now but that's not going to be much longer. Notice how our education programs get worse and our kids are getting dumber and dumber every year? We are literally being dumbed down and i think it's on purpose. The education in the U.S. is like the second worst in the world and were next to Ethiopia. If you ask me i think the mexican's would probably be better of imigrating to China..., Were about to end up the United States of China anyway.
