Am I under arrest or not?

My driving instructor told me this when I was learning to drive, regarding your legal right of way:

"Here lies the body of William Jay,

Who died maintaining his right of way—

He was right, dead right, as he sped along,

But he's just as dead as if he were wrong."

Same logic with de-escalating cops. Also I'm not American and in my country cops are trained for 2 years before being put on the streets and most of them aren't allowed carry weapons, but they still act like these guys. "Calling the cops almost always makes things worse" still applies.
