When he stood up, it could have been considered a threat, but I don't think their response was proportional at all. Sometimes cops have an over-inflated sense of control and power.
I am a little biased, though. I'm terrified of cops because I was beaten by (a huge) one when I got arrested once. In my case, the cop got fired and my charges were thrown out, but the outcome did nothing to ease my fear of being severely beaten. I wish I could dig up some pictures, but that was ten years ago.
