There's a difference between a cop "showing his face" near you and an incident like this. I for one don't drop face-down on the pavement with my hands clasped behind my head every time a cop walks by.
But if I happen to round a corner and suddenly a dozen cops have me surrounded and are pointing guns at me demanding I get on the ground I can assure you my first reaction isn't going to be to pull out a box-cutter and start waving it around like an idiot. Running? Forget it. Why run if you've done nothing wrong?
People can argue the point all they want, the fact is resisting arrest is in itself a crime. Resisting while armed and using the weapon to resist and absolutely you risk getting your stupid ass shot off. It's common knowledge so why do it?
