Police bodyworn footage has since emerged of Hill resisting that arrest for 33 minutes.The video shows him preventing officers from putting him in handcuffs, grabbing hold of a hedgerow and refusing to let go, claiming officers were trying to break his wrist and his arms, biting his own lip and pretending to pass out.
