What would have happened if he had just laid there face down with his hands and arms out and not moved?

Frankly, watching the video I'm confused as to exactly WTF the officer wanted him to do.

I'm not. It was only confusing because the guy was so impatient in responding/complying that he jerkingly complied (when he did). The cop gave him chance after chance...

If the cop had just explained his concern about you having your hands behind your back, and you had your hands behind your back and the cop said, put your hands where I can see them... would you pull them out quickly? If he said, get to your knees, would you 'hop' to your knees?

It's horrible to be sure, but the cop even asked if he was drunk and he said no.

Of course, part of the problem could be the uneducated and person looking to make a point about guns and gun owners who calls and reports something entirely benign as a 'potential terrorist act'.

We don't really know what happened, only what the cops were told...

and the woman was able to comply with little trouble.
