Some, but not all, including the modifier "obey a lawful command" ... but the street generally isn't a great place to argue that point. You'll lose the argument most of the time, an improper command just doesn't buy you an extra/more serious charge later.
That's not an attitude, it's law.

The whole "Failure to Obey", to me, is a horseshit law in the first place, that has no place in this country.
Though again, see my post right above, re: Reality and How It Should Be.
But yes. All of this should be tempered with common sense. Trying to have a discussion of how far an officer's authority goes in the middle of people throwing molotovs and looting building isn't exactly smart, and isn't going to end well.
