Damn...your ignorance...is once again apparent. There are many reasons for them doing what they were doing and may not have involved "one suspect" at all. Police officers are trained in the academy to take immediate and total control of a situation by being firm loud and clear/barking. They also are trained at the academy to order people to put their hands up and/or to submit to being handcuffed and patted down...for their protection...as well as the protection of the subjects that are involved.
BTW FYI...there are circumstances where a search warrant is not legally required to enter someone's residence.
