Damn. That one will haunt me for a little while. I think in the situation with an overzealous cop, laying still, face down, with arms outstretched may be the best bet. Don't comply with anything; play deaf or dead. No movement, no excuse for them to pull the trigger. And while Shaver did reach behind his back, he should never have been made to do circus tricks to get to the cops. That guy was looking for an excuse. I hope Shaver has family or friends with big balls and nothing to lose.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
-Samuel Adams
