Most of what I just listed occurred _before_ anyone shot at him.

He had already been shot at when we join the in-truck video in progress.

So, you're wrong.

Your "list" is balderdash.

Balderdash?
Why did he leave the occupied building? seriously, he knew they’d take him down, alive or dead.
Why did he leave without bulletproof vest? seriously, he knew he’d likely be shot at.

Allowing your contention he’d already been shot at, why’d he proceed to do numerous things seemingly intending to prompt others to shoot him?

Seriously: why did he leave the building in the first place? knowing full well he’d run into an ambush? Surely he wasn’t stupid enough to think he could drive several miles for a meeting, hang out there for a while, then drive back - all without police taking the opportunity to at least arrest him, and in high likelihood (expecting trouble) shoot at the first hint of furtive movement.
