Yes, and if I was in confusion, laying out like that and not moving, they would not have shot.
They would have screamed and yelled, and finally jumped on me and handcuffed me, but they would not have shot.

and you know this how...?
Yep, just like the autistic kid who sat perfectly still in the middle of the street while his psychiatric nurse tried to talk some sense in to the police. In that case the nurse was shot while he was laying on the ground obeying orders.
Unfortunately your approach doesn't always work either.
Is it too much to expect police to use the same kind of common sense and restraint every other firearm carrying individual is expected to have?
