He was asked to stand up, he did. He then asked, again, what was going on. When he was ignored, again, he sat down.

Do you even have to comply to a police officer without a warrant when you are on your own property? For example, if an officer knocks on my door right now and tells me to lay on the ground, would I actually have to do that?

That would scare the shite out of me if 3 officers ambushed me and would not tell me what was going on after I repeatedly asked and I knew I had not done anything illegal. My mind would immediately think I was being set up or was in danger.

The trust some people put in law enforcement boggles the mind.

Of course not, and any attempt to force you to do so would be assault.

Police are governed by the same rules and laws of social interaction as everyone else except for in very specific circumstances where they are allowed to forcibly detain/restrain someone who is not trying to harm them.
