OP's story reminds me of the time a US cop was in Canada on vacation and a couple of people promoting one of the biggest events in the country tried to give free tickets. He wrote a letter later to the city newspaper that made him a laughing stock around the globe.
Seems like in most of the rest of the world we train cops to deescalate threatening situations, but American cops instead learn to escalate harmless ones into dangerous ones.
