His problem was dropping his gun and then reaching back to apparently pull his pants up. To the officers yelling for him to get on the ground, I'm sure it looked like he was possibly reaching for another gun. Cops probably thought he was trying to rope-a-dope them: "I'll drop this gun like I'm giving up, and then whip out this second gun to shoot at the police."
yeah and I don't think it's up to the officers to wait around and find out if he's reaching for another weapon. 1% chance is too high. Comply and you won't die. Simple.

Only problem is, he didn't have a second gun.
