the MP pointed a gun at the police, which can never be justified
OK Bear with me here, the video attached to my other post only shows a brief clip of what the homeowner says happened, the longer version which aired in it's entirety showed that the H.O. came to the door and opened it with his weapon at "low ready" once he saw it was LE he backed into the doorway, still not pointing AT anyone, and told the officers to back off, as he had no reason to know why they were there. it escalated from there. once he put down the weapon he was given the "treatment" IE:

If you resist arrest I guarantee you will be visiting at least an emergency room.
I think he got it

IF his story is to be believed, he did not point a gun at anyone, unfortunately that will be up to a judge to decide. I still think he was within his rights and will be aquitted, but that is MHO.
