Engaged Police Body Cameras

And if anyone fails to do what a man of the law says, like "stop, hands up, etc.", then the policeman has the lawful right to arrest you

What about cases where someone is deaf or something similar? For example a deaf person could be jogging down a street, and a police officer behind them sees the deaf person and their clothing matches the description of a suspect in the area, so the police officer yells for them to stop and put their hands in the air. The officer would have no way of knowing that the jogger was deaf, and the jogger would not have heard the police officer, so they would have kept jogging like they were.

You do realize self-defense is a two-way street? This seems like a naïve perspective as if an officer can do no wrong. And really, there are real crimes to arrest people for instead of not following directions, especially if they're unreasonable. You should hold high standards for officers as well, kill/injure a civilian, they should receive a harsh punishment.
