I've seen this in person. Rally in Denver where a guy decided to open carry to make a statement (OC is not legal in Denver, only concealed with permit). He didn't comply with reasonable requests to just put the gun in his car or leave, then resisted a bit - when they tried to cuff him he was pretty strong and held his arms up - bam he was on the ground so hard/fast it broke his glasses.
I agree. It was a pretty lame - almost glowing in retrospect - display. But that said, main point of the story (which I do presume you got, just making sure/for others just walking in or what have you) is they don't fuck around with an armed person - it's impossible they would have let this guy be cuffed while still strapped.
You are I would have bit the pavement with a jack boot on our necks.

That sounds appropriate for the circumstances.
