case law and statute have determined that resisting a police officer is bad.

... if "bad" == illegal.

Let's be crystal clear that a citizen has NO legal or Constitutional right to resist arrest in California. Period. End of discussion. California Law is pretty broad and covers pretty much anything:
http://www.shouselaw.com/resisting-arrest.html

If a cop says, "I'm placing you under arrest", that's it, you're done. Once the arrest ball starts rolling, it does NOT stop. Afterward, yes, one can challenge the arrest. But NOT during the arrest, because that cop will bring as much force as they see fit, and that cop is explicitly authorized to use deadly force in making an arrest. He's got legal immunity and is basically untouchable.

I guess federal laws about false imprisonment mean nothing then.

The only thing you can do is place the cop under citizens arrest before he arrests you. He can't fight it once you told him he's under arrest, it's the law.
