It's that he didn't pull over instantly. Cops are taught resistance or even slowness to comply is a threat to their authority and merits escalation. If the cop is not completely in control of the situation (or if they feel they aren't), they're taught to take control of it aggressively, regardless of the context of the situation. Resistance is a potential threat to be extinguished quickly, ask questions later.
They're taught to be hyper aggressive cowards.

I once sped past a cop driving in an unmarked car (cruising in the left lane and not passing anyone). She put her lights on and I figured "well I've been caught, no sense in trying to slow all the way down" so I reasonably took like 30 seconds to find a place to pull over, driving at regular traffic speed.
She asked me if I was trying to run... Like, no, I'm just looking for a place to stop that isn't the side of the road.
Cops almost instantly expect you to run or get violent, which causes people to get defensive anyway.
