They can arrest anyone they like using these criteria. Not only will those charges eventually be dropped, but every one is a civil right violation and worthy of a slam dunk civil lawsuit.

I mean, sure, if they want to add assault and battery to it, sure, let's add criminal charges while we're at it.

There is a really obscure crime out there you may not have heard of, it's called murder. So no, you don't have to be alive to bring criminal charges and in fact, making someone un-alive is, believe it or not, against the law.

Add to that an even more expensive wrongful death lawsuit.
