What does "semblance of resolution" mean?
1) What does semblance of resolution mean? A possible solution?
2) What does DM stand for?
Context:
DM, here's a headline, "80ish year-old man stopped and detained by police, who were enforcing laws due to several pedestrian deaths in the last nine days, for jaywalking. Man attempts to walk away before receiving summons and is arrested for resisting arrest." How does DM know there was a language barrier? Do the words 'spilled blood' need to be integrated into the story to make it seem more violent? The man, is he a resident or just visiting the US? If someone doesn't understand the language in the visiting country being confronted by law enforcement, C. O. M. M. O. N. S. E. N. S. E. dictates you stand by until some semblance of resolution is met.

A semblance of resolution would mean that it appears that the situation is over, the matter has been resolved. Here the point would be that you should wait until you have reason to think the police have finished with you before trying to leave. I would interpret DM to mean Daily Mail (a UK newspaper).

Thanks.
Should "Man attempts to walk away before receiving summons" be "Man attempts to walk away after receiving summons"?
Should "Man attempts to walk away before receiving summons" be "Man attempts to walk away after receiving summons"?

No, the summons is the ticket the cop was writing. The man was supposed to wait until the cop finished writing the ticket and gave it to him, but he started to walk away before the cop had finished writing.
