Yeah...because when the police arrive on scene of a reported homicide/hostage situation and a guy opens the door and appears to be reaching for something in/near his waistband, after the police have told him to keep his hands visible and in the air, the police have all the time in the world to ask for his ID and confirm whether or not he killed someone and was still holding hostages or is something else going on. Everyone knows that.

Or maybe in future situations where it's not clear what's going on the police on scene could just jump online to their favorite forum where everyone's an expert and start a thread about what they should do to handle the situation? That might work.

Or how about this? If the cops suddenly show up at your house, with guns pointed at you, maybe it's a really good time to just listen closely and do EXACTLY what they tell you to do. I'm just throwin' that out there. But I know the drill...a bunch of people want to be all riled up about the Gestapo and trigger happy cops. But sometimes being stupid around the po-po has some pretty negative consequences.

Do what you're told to do when cops are pointing guns at you and live to sort it out later. Then you can be alive to be outraged about the Gestapo.
