The fact that they were a threat isn't even relevant because there was no proof of it at the time of the massacre. I think the point Jason was trying to make with some of these choices (though too much of it relied on things happening off camera and too fast for the narrative) was that each character within their own perspective make judgements based on their own experiences. So for Pike that is a weaponized army just laying in wait to strike, as he has not experienced their existence (anyone earthborn) to be anything but combative. So he strikes first. With our knowledge of the situation we know its the wrong move (but he doesn't have our knowledge only his own) and the actions aren't unlike that of the grounders towards sky people in season 1. They perceived the Sky people as a threat, even though the 100 kept to themselves and thought they were alone, so the grounders initiated all aggression to the sky people and tried to kill them before they became a threat. Same idealogy, just different sides. Which is the greater point of the show, everyone making the decisions from their own experience and perspective are making choices that they feel are in the best interest of their people. That no matter what angle you look, everyone is a killer and no one is innocent.
