Bill thinks that "resisted" == "refused".
Just like he got all upset when I posted a dictionary definition of "detain" (but that's not what common usage is).
Because she did not cooperate with the authorities, Bill's mind can't handle it.
I can understand that.
Resist
Refuse
They both start with "R".
"in its popular use it means to hold for an extended period of time...while I suppose if you want to be a semantic son of a bitch (which appears to be the case) then I will grant you that security can "detain" someone while relevent authorities arrive."
"...popular use..."
Depends upon what group you consider "popular", I guess.
If you pick the Right group, resist can mean refuse. At least as far as the Authorities are concerned.
