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.

    100% this! its not a bug, its a feature, sadly.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Daniel_Shaver

    If you watch the video of this shooting, the police play a increasingly complex game of simon says with a drunk man, and shoot him.

    The shooting officer retired,early, with a pension due to emotional trauma.

    Don’t watch this video, its the body cam video of the Daniel Shaver incident, but its illustrative of the situations police are trained to put people in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBUUx0jUKxc

    Basically its a rigged game, anything you do, or don’t do, could be a threat to the officers life, and the most important thing is to go home safely every day, so they shoot early and often.
