He had a gun on his person and had threatened ppl with it. He resisted arrest and didn't comply initially to requests to stop and get on the ground. I guess everyone should just assume he was an upstanding citizen and had no reason to use his gun. Of course he never meant any harm and wouldn't dream of shooting the cops.....of course we were all there and know the entire story based on a cell phone video and what was going on in everyone's head.
