This is my fear also... one or more yelling hands up, others yelling don't move and still others yelling drop your weapon. Do either any of them you risk being shot by those issuing other commands. My thought (hope) is that if I freeze and remain frozen with my hands held high or outstretched on the ground, either they will come get the gun or get on the same page with one another.
