I've watched it several times. He made an effort to drop it as soon as it registered in his mind that a cop was issuing commands to him to do so. There's no rational way to interpret the video as the victim getting ready to engage the police in a shootout. The shooting began almost instantaneously with his efforts to put the gun on the ground.
Cops should have, from a distance, via megaphone or store speaker systems, announced their command for him to lower the weapon and place his hands behind his head (or whatever else would satisfy the police).
