It's reasonable to assume that, if a person draws (or attempts to draw) a gun on a police officer, that they are in danger of being shot at. Thus, they are allowed to defend themselves.
It's also reasonable to assume that the person could pull out the gun and throw it away. In any event, reason doesn't acquit him of the heinous crime of manslaughter.
