Ramil, imho you are unfair to russian police. AFAIK, the US cops usually shout "freez!!!" and shoot, or they even shoot and then shout "freez" instead of "could you stay here for a while, please". The last thing a russian police officer can do is shooting. Every shot is a great rape session for a russian police officer with a lot of reports, finding and showing the shot shells and investigation about an accident, did he realy have rights to shoot when a thug started to cut his throat? Trust me, i know what i'm talking about...
Actually for my purposes it would be better to use phrases that are a little polite. Similar to US police.
(US cops usually are more polite than you would think)
Ditto. And, american cops will try to avoid shooting, by any means. But, they will shoot back if someone is shooting at them.
