What is "asking the man to take his hands out of his shirt pockets"? Sounds pretty clear to me.

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

If he did indeed then draw what appears to be a gun, then cops are justified to shoot him.

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.

No, not with several cops already pointing weapons at you. You raise your hands and tell them there's a gun in your waistband. You don't make any move towards it, unless you want to get shot.
