First of all, this is pure speculation. You can't accuse people of doing things that never happened.
They had let the guy film them for a good while there before asking him to stop. They clearly had nothing to hide and were the kind of cops that were willing to give quite a long leash to a person they came to arrest before getting physical. I'm relatively sure they would have done nothing.
(It's IMO actually pretty unlikely that none of the cops noticed that the guy kept shooting in secret for a bit.)
I get that many people are intimidated by the police, so a policeman asking you to do something is NOT the same as just somebody asking you to do something, even if there would be no legal difference.
However, the police have rights too. You can't take away their right to ask things of people just because people have a tendency to take those requests as orders.
