Why cops shout so much when arresting people?

Why do cops shout so much when arresting people. I saw so many videos where people clearly don’t have any weapons and like 5 cops come at them shouting to get on the floor. Doesn’t that only make people more stressed out and push them to do stupid stuff?

Adrenaline, stress, fear. There are modern procedures/principles for making arrests, based on a more sophisticated understanding of human reactions and behaviors. But training is expensive and for 95%+ of arrests, old school and instinctual intimidation works pretty effectively.
