Makin' our country free, for you and meeeeee! We violate more rights by 9 AM than most criminals do all day! Seriously, guns drawn and "freeze" right off the bat? Unless the guy had a katana strapped to his back, I would think a polite "what's going on?" and a small questioning session would suffice, and if the guy ran after that, THEN they can tell him to freeze.
You'll notice they went after the ninja, but there were no PIRATE arrests forthcoming! I mean, sure the ninjas are all backflipping into bushes and trees and stuff, but the pirates were swinging from ropes shouting "avast ye ya scurvy dogs!"!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
