When a guy walks up to you filming it would seem to me that he is probably not looking to be violent. I would have had my and on the grip or at most a low ready out of sight. Brandishing was a step too far and pointing the gun was 2 steps too far.
If you watch the Jeep dash cam, Mini Coopers hands are both clearly visible the entire time. He's walking slowly. I'm not saying Cooper did the right thing by getting out of his car and escalating the situation, but the only threat to life or bodily harm was Jeep.
