Your post illustrates exactly the problem I’m talking about.
Standard ASL is too complex for what I’m thinking.
A better gesture would be to point the index finger to an open mouth repeatedly. We do need PSAs to go with it.

There are the proper signs as posted by Red Badger in comment #21. It's a responsibility of police everywhere to be good public servants in allowing for and understanding those simple signs and at least having pencil and paper ready (pencil less than four inches long for cowards). There's no reason for anyone to assume that those signs are aggressive moves to cause bodily harm.

Try doing that to a cop now and before you get to the second sign, he will have put so many bullet holes in you that you will look like a piece of Swiss cheese.
