Should been obvious he wasn't going to answer any questions and he even has a right to silence.

He has a right to silence, but he doesn't have the right to actively impede an investigation. He definitely doesn't have the right to shout orders from his porch.

obey the property owner's request to leave

Yeah, because somebody who's under suspicion of a crime should be the one deciding when the police leave the property or not. I don't know the sort of people you deal with on a regular basis doing whatever it is you do, but in my area, if somebody's telling the police to leave, it's because they have something they need to hide.

Leaving when someone is yelling at you and you feel you are in the right takes a big and intelligent man.
Police should be trained to be that kind of man and yet we find they are not.

So what you're saying here is that police should always back down when a suspect tells them to back down? What kind of environment would this create? "Be the bigger man, let me destroy the incriminating evidence before you come back."

but the irony is the blame is put on a citizen

The guy got hit with a beanbag, looked around, realized he wasn't hurt, then went on the attack with his gun in hand. He had every opportunity to calm down and address the situation like a reasonable human being, but he decided to get more and more agitated and aggressive until he just said "fuck it, I'm okay with dying over this shit."

It's on him. Only on him. He had an obligation to obey lawful orders and refused. He then made things much, much worse. His wife/girlfriend/whoever was trying to get him to calm down, but he ignored her.
