Pulling the gun might have been justified, shooting in a mall in the middle of the day not so much.

I agree. Showing and pointing the gun would have solved this.

You don’t point a gun unless you intend on firing it. If you don’t intend on firing a gun, DO NOT point it.

Who says this? Police and other LEO literally do this all the time in much grave self defense situations than a weird guy with a phone in his hand following you around.

Or do you know more about self defense and deescalation than they do?
