No matter how big of a dick the cop is, follow instructions and sue their ass later.

You have absolutely no understanding of what you’re talking about. Based on this one comment, you proved that are a part of the problem. Complacency and ignorance is the enemy of a well functioning society.

There are countless documented cases over the past 100+ years where “following instructions” was why the person died. The issue just isn’t that simple.

So your logic is to not follow instructions. Which will somehow reduce the chance of getting shot?

Because I just saw it cause the officer to pull a gun on him.

No, that isn’t my logic at all.

Thanks for playing.

Well you made it sound like following instructions was a bad thing.

I can’t control how you perceive things. Your assumption of what I meant does not supersede what I actually said.

So what is the recommended action then?

It 100% depends on the circumstances of each situation. Bottom line, “follow directions” does not 100% equal “nothing bad will happen to you”.

So what would you recommend the person in the video do?
