It was, IMHO, entirely appropriate for the officers to have weapons drawn, as they were in a high risk situation.
However, they had absolutely no business pointing their weapons at you.
There is a difference between having a weapon drawn and tucked up to the chest at the ready, and having a weapon extended and pointed at you. Are you sure that they were actually no shit drawing down on you? or did they possibly just have their weapons at the ready?
They should have had enough control over their weapons to not accidentally point them at you (or they had no business carrying any). So if they did I think it is safe to assume they did so deliberately, which was uncalled for.
I don't know wether they actually broke the law, but even if they did, remember that they were trying to keep your buddy from getting ripped off.
