From what I’ve seen in the videos, when the cops say “get out of the car”, “get down on your knees” or “put down the gun”, people either unresponsive or swear and refuse.
What’s the reason for this? In a place where the police have so much power, why don’t people care?
Update: I triggered people somehow. I’m not from US. I didn’t want to blame people. I apologize for asking a question about a subject that I don’t know. Won’t happen again.

If you watch more videos, you’ll realize it doesn’t matter.
Cop: why are you nervous?
Me: I’m always nervous around people who can kill me with impunity and get a paid vacation for doing so.

who can kill me with impunity and get a paid vacation for doing so.But the struck-through part makes it a whole hell of a lot worse! ACAB
It’s just a leading question so you can admit to crimes
Have you seen what the cops here do to handcuffed people already on the ground? You’re fucked either way, may as well try to stay in a defensive posture with the ability to (try to) ward off physical attack.
Also, police confrontations aren’t known for creating calm environments. People make rash and sometimes unreasonable decisions when they are scared or feel threatened.
Sometimes, they give you conflicting orders like:
Cop A “On the ground NOW”
Cop B “Hands in the air!”
It may be intentional on their part so they can escalate due to non-compliance
Why do people not follow the directives of the police in US?
Did you see the videos where several cops are screaming contradictory commands? Or impossible/unlawful commands?
Valid question, but if you know the police in the US especially, you’ll realize they’re assholes, regardless of what you do.
I’ll assume you’re asking in good faith. You know what’s I’ve always found interesting though? Nobody likes interacting with the police. I know some old churchy ladies that turn the other direction when they see a cop car. It says a lot about them that even the most law abiding, innocent citizens nope out when they see a LEO on the street.
ACAB and fuck the police; (more than) half of every dollar given to law enforcement should be taken and be used for healthcare, social services, and education. It’d actually alleviate a lot more issues than the dog-shooting, minority-beating, blue wall of silence gang we have in the U.S.

When you yell at nervous people, they get more nervous, then confused and stressed.
This is a shithead take though lol. You must be going down some rabbit hole on some site that’s feeding you biased videos. Nobody here is triggered, you’re just being stupid.
