Could the "aggressiveness" you're remarking to be a defense mechanism to cope with the aforementioned aspects that you felt were excessive?

I'd consider this a somewhat appropriate use of authoritative force. Yes, I'd say it COULD be, however if he'd been more cooperative as opposed to defensive, things would've turned out differently. I'm sure he isn't blind to what's going on in the nation, he just must've forgotten what he was up against and let his feelings get in the way.

Would you consider the officer overly aggressive in his initial approach?

No. He didn't pull out his gun or threaten to arrest him initially, all he asked for was a license, which prompted Brown to become wary and progressively defensive and uncooperative.
