He had a gun and th cops had already seen it. The attached narrative with the videos outlines this.
His body posture was that of someone with a gun preparing to use it, he was assuming a weaver hold/stance on the gun and this is what the cops reacted to.

Yes, the cops had already seen it. After they left and came back, they saw it again. He didn’t obey commands - if I had that many cops pointing guns at me, I would have come out with my hands empty and up high - I wouldn’t have moved, walked - nothing. The cops had every right to fear for what this guys was going to do. Wife is saying “don’t do it” cops are saying “drop the gun”.
