If police officers were pointing their weapons at me and I was under a CC permit I would comply EXACTLY to their commands

Gun is in your holster, not in your hand...

Officer #1: GET ON THE GROUND! Officer #2: DROP YOUR WEAPON! Officer #3: KEEP YOUR HANDS UP!

Which do you do?

Get on the ground? Officer #2 and #3 shoot you because to get on the ground you lowered your hands a bit for balance or to place them on the ground. Officer #1, who you were complying with, shoots you because Officers #2 and 3 shot you.

Drop your weapon? Officer #1 shoots you because you aren't getting on the ground. Officer #3 shoots you because you went to unbuckle your belt to drop your weapon. Officer #2 shoots you because #1 and #3 did.

Put your hands up? Officer #2 shoots you because you didn't drop your gun, instead as your hands go up he thinks you are going to pull your weapon. Officer #1 shoots you because you aren't dropping your weapon. Officer #3 shoots you because #1 and #2 shot you.

So how did that work out for you...or Erik Scott?

Almost to the point where you’d have to pick Option #4. But you would have to be REALLY fast.

Officer 1. “Get On THE GROUND”
Officer 2. “Freeze”
Officer 3. “ Let me see your hands”
Officer 1. “Hands? GUN?”
Officer 2. “Freeze! Freeze! I told you to Freeze”.
Officer 1. “Get DOWN NOW. GET DOWN NOW”.

( insert shooting here )

Officer 1. “Why didn’t he obey?”
Officer 3. ‘He had a gun’
Officer 2. “He didn’t obey, right?”
Officers 1 and 3. “Correct”

Correct sir — if one cop is on the scene, he’s in charge. If three cops show up, one needs to be in charge and the others should shut up. Conflicting commands lead to disastrous results.
