You might understand how you're missing the point.
We all agree that cops shouldn't "over" react. But it's a fine line between that and being too lax. Watching the instant replay in slow motion allows all of us to form opinions.
The easiest way to help prevent an over reaction is to comply.
Once that gun is drawn only a fool would do what that guy did.
Doesn't mean he's to blame.
I heard someone compare this to telling a woman to not dress provocatively or they're asking to be raped.
To some extent this is true. But instead of thinking of this as blaming the victim, it should be a lesson in making good decisions. No one here would want their daughter to dress in a short skirt, low cut blouse and red pumps and then stroll down a dark ally past midnight in the seedy part of town.
If she did, then she put herself into a bad situation.
Ignoring a yelling cop with a drawn gun is putting yourself in a bad situation.
NOT blaming the victim. Just pointing out what I thought would be obvious.
So much wrong with this.
Let's take for instance, a comparison that happened recently:

Guy defies every order a cop, with a drawn gun, gives him. Even threatens to kill the cop. And gets into his truck.
Somehow doesn't get shot.
And now let's take a look at your "very bad take on rape".
There is so much wrong with your statement.
1 - it implies that dress correlates to sexual assault in any way. that's an incorrect assumption:
Quote:Dress and beliefs about or self-reports of sexual violence
Vali and Rizzo (1991) conducted an atheoretical survey of US psychiatrists addressing the role of young women’s revealing apparel in inciting sex crimes. A significant majority believed that when young women wore revealing clothing they were at risk of sex crimes. Participants also indicated that parents should consider what girls’ attire signals to men.
Nearly 20 years later, Moor (2010) investigated women’s revealing dress and experiences of sexual violence. Moor found no relationship between wearing sexy dress and actual experiences of violence. Moor concluded that since victims and non- victims of violence did not differ in terms of their use of sexy dress, women are not responsible for sexual violence due to their sexy dress. However, Moor did not investigate people’s beliefs about relationships between use of sexy dress and experiences of violence or how widespread these beliefs might be.
2 - If you look at a woman wearing provocative clothing and think she's just asking to be raped, odds are you're a rapist just looking for an excuse.
