That means when an officer asks you to stop, get on your knees, etc., you DO IT and sort out your innocence or guilt later. Both of the young men in Ferguson and NY would still be with us if they obeyed their initial police contact.
The problem is if you're doing something so wrong that you are told to get on your knees, you probably aren't the type of person who has any respect for the law to begin with.
