Not saying the cops are blameless here, but ....why would you ever disobey a cops order when they have guns trained on you? Not smart.

Trouble is, sometimes you have 4 different cops shouting contradictory demands at the same time. Who do you obey, if you can't obey all of them simultaneously?

You make a very good point. I don't remember where I read it, but a couple of years ago a white guy was stopped by cops after leaving a store (a Walmart?). Someone had reported that the guy was carrying a gun.

Different cops shouted different commands to the man. He followed one command, which meant he disobeyed another. And that got him shot. IIRC, he was killed.

“Who do you obey, if you can’t obey all of them simultaneously? “

I’m pretty sure turning around and walking away is the wrong answer.

You stand very still and ask, “which order do you want me to obey?” Been there. See my post above.

Well, let’s see...in this case, do you think any were telling him to backup to his vehicle, then reach inside?

Simple. Get down on the ground.
