Please try to get the analogy correct if you choose to go down this path....otherwise you look very rigid.

The biggest take away from this is that these folks did exactly what the cops said, and they didn't get shot and killed. It all got sorted out later. The cops are going to be very embarrassed in the end. But during the stop everything was amped up. The cops were reacting to some perceived threat, based on bogus information they had. If the gentleman had not complied, had argued, struggled, behaved in any way aggressively, there is a good chance this would have ended badly. Look at him tugging on his waistband to untuck his shirt, the cop screaming to stop, and him raising his hands to pull it off over his head. You can hear the panic in the cop's voice. That innocent old white male was a twitch of a finger from being shot right there. Instead he did exactly what he needed to do in that situation, no matter how unjust it seemed to him at the time.
Correct behavior, correct analogy.
