Some people, however, haven't figured out that the safest route in a confrontation with police is to do as they are told.  There's a bone in their head that says when they aren't criminals, have done nothing wrong, and been stopped nonetheless, they are entitled to be indignant.  They are entitled to ask questions. They are entitled to stand upright and invoke their right to be left alone.  If the cops aren't going to leave them alone, they expect a response to the question "why?"
