Know your rights, be polite, comply with what the officers tell you. It's that simple. You don't get to make your own rules when a cop has stopped your or is arresting you. You don't get to decide if you're going to be arrested or not. If you're being unfairly treated by the police, comply and then sue and get a nice fat settlement from the city afterwards. Nobody has ever argued their way out of an arrest, and nobody has ever made their situation better by resisting or disobeying orders. Cops have a dangerous, shitty job and it's become even more dangerous and shitty for them over the last year with all the negative press they got. Make it easy on them, make it easy on yourself.

That's the answer. Problem is it's not the answer most people want.
