When police tell you to put your hands in the air, I don’t advise waving them like you just don’t care.

Protip: When a cop tells you to put your hands in the air, do not take the initiative and wave them around like you just don’t care.

FL tip: if a cop tells you to “Put your hands in the air”  ask before assuming he wants you to also “Wave them like you just don’t care”

Pro tip: when the police tell you to put your hands in the air, don’t assume that they next want you to wave them like you just don’t care.
