Giving you contradictory orders is standard operating procedure whenever cops need an excuse to abuse or kill you:

Cop1: "Get on the ground!"

Cop2: "Don't move!"

Cop1: "I SAID GET ON THE GROUND!"

Cop2: "I SAID DON'T F*CKING MOVE!"

But hey, you were being "uncooperative" and that's what the record will show, even though it's literally impossible to follow both orders at the same time.

Daniel Shavers' murder showed that those contradictory orders can come from one cop, no need to involve a second cop.
