I think he acted totally reasonably.
I have been present at many incidents where the police have been telling people to do this and that and when they've been asked what act they're using and what reasonable grounds for suspicion they have, they back off and stand down because they know they're in the wrong. It just depends on who's doing it. A man in a shirt with a name tag is likely to be treated much better than a young man with an intimidating hair-do and a slogan on his tshirt.
