The bottom line is that he pulled a gun on an officer that was not presenting a threat to his life.

Re: OIS today in Austin - bloggers already at it
I really, really want to see the dashcam video.
I simply don't understand how a guy has a gun 'in his waistband' equates to an officer having his gun out and shooting him.
A witness mentioned that both the officer and the elderly guy were pointing weapons at each other. If this is the case I tend to lean in the direction of the officer, but wonder what prompted the 'victim' to pull out his weapon. Who drew first?
