Mostly, we are ;)
A few points on this part, though...
First, I'll be blunt about a LEO encounter. I do NOT believe in surrendering any Rights whatsoever. I believe our (especially Constitutional) Rights are absolute and there to protect us from...anybody, including authorities.
Having said that, knowing and exercising your Rights is sometimes a challenge for the lay person to know when the situation changes- ie a LEO doesn't have to disclose to you what and when he has RAS (Reasonably Articulable Suspicion). If you aren't careful and knowledgeable in this area, it is possible your exercising of your Rights can change into resisting arrest or failure to comply with a lawful order, or something else without you realizing it.
By all means, exercise your Rights- ALL your Rights- to their fullest, Responsible extent. But educate yourself and be aware of the points I mentioned, as they are often the reality of an encounter.
To avoid getting political or whatever, I'll stop there. It suffices to say every decent person should immediately and fully work together to locate a missing child, in which case no one would need be challenged for a search or any other personal impositions. God Speed in their efforts!

As far as a LEO, if you haven't committed a crime the only thing your required to do (traffic stop) is identify yourself (drivers license). You don't have to answer to any question, unless you choose too. But be prepared anything you say ... Well you know the rest. As far as all the things you mention, beatings, tazed, etc for not cooperating. Well that's just trying to scare people and has no business in this conversation. One doesn't have to give up their rights because of fear.
