It sounds unprofessional, but I offhand don't see anything illegal about it.

It's probably legal unless he threatened your life or threatened great bodily harm. I assure you I have had officers make mean comments to me after testifying at preliminary exams. I just take it as a compliment. There may be a problem if he attempted to create distrust between you and your attorney.
