what they instructed the perp to do is not part of the account.

What is "asking the man to take his hands out of his shirt pockets"? Sounds pretty clear to me. If he did indeed then draw what appears to be a gun, then cops are justified to shoot him. Body armor or not, cops are not required to let a perp get the first shot off.

The instruction does not indicate what he is to do once the hands are out of the pockets. It is not clear.

One draws a gun to surrender it too.

Body armor or not, cops are not required to let a perp get the first shot off.

I didn't imply that they were.
