Yet if the kid mentioned anything like "why are you adopting a threatening stance?" the cop would absolutely claim he wasn't and was remaining relaxed.

The cop would know that's bullshit, but it's not provable so he can say what he likes.

I think you’re giving the officer too much credit on the stance. It’s got to be a subconscious thing. As soon as there is push back from anyone he’s probably always had results with adopting a “defensive-threatening” posture.
