Typical jack-booted thug attitude. Issue an illogical command and, when the victim is confused or asks "Why?", instead of engaging in a civilized conversation just keep repeating the order in an ever-louder tone of voice.
I see that a lot around here (not directed at me, mercifully). They teach it at the state police academy (which trains not only staties but also officers for many smaller municipalities that can't afford their own academies). It's that whole "You WILL respect my aw-thaw-ri-tee" thing.
