Has anyone asked/brought up why Jonathan Ross felt the need to draw his gun?

4. I suspect it's because he'd already made up his mind to shoot before the car even moved

He managed to get out of the way of the car even while filming with a phone in his left hand, and drawing his gun and firing it four times with his right hand. Just imagine how much easier it would have been for him to get out of the way if he wasn't doing either of those things. Or, just imagine how easy it would have been to get out of the way if he'd followed his training and not stood in front of the car in the first place.

There were a million ways this could have played out without someone getting shot. But Ross switched his phone from his left hand to his right hand, freeing up his right hand, before moving in front of the car. He was priming the situation -- he was ready to draw his gun, and he put himself in front of the vehicle, in a position where he wouldn't actually get hurt, but where he could shoot and then claim that he feared for his life.

At least, that's how I saw it from watching all the videos.
