He might not have been actively a physical danger, but he did make it physical. He was told no and still tried to push through. He then gets angry (indicated by him telling them not to touch him despite them simply standing firm). He then reasserts his intent to go past them. He gave every indication of escalating the situation. That’s a definitive threat. I don’t think they should have to play his stupid games and just push him back until he becomes more and more threatening.
He showed absolutely no sign of trying to attack. All he did was walk towards a person. He was just an annoying sovcit. Again…Yeah. On a personal level…he had it coming. Lots of people walking around should have their ass kicked for their behavior and lots of people id cheer if I heard it happened. But that wouldn’t make it legal

The LEO is expected to use experience and judgement, not try be a mind reader until it’s too late in a hallway full of people.
