One of the things I have noticed on cops is when there are several officers on the scene, each of them are yelling commands to the suspect. Often these commands are contradictory.
The suspect then is slow to respond and the next thing you know five men tackle and force the suspect to the ground while yelling “stop resisting”.
Why isn’t there any training on having only one person take charge and give commands. It is a wonder there are not more shootings.
You are entirely correct. One cop will yell "hands up" while another is yelling "turn away from my voice". And a third is screaming "down on the ground." Obeying any one of them could get you shot by the other two.
There was some movie scene where the cops kept saying, “Don’t move! Get on the ground!”
