All your post reeks of is wounded pride.

A calm and calculating mind that didn't care about his authority being challenged but rather what is the best case for all involved would absolutely have left.

The wife even came out to prove it was the man's house. And the door being open he only had to take one step and the cops needed a warrant anyways.

So him standing there one foot away from being out of their reach saying he isn't gonna cooperate with answering questions, he has a gun, don't mess with him, there being an innocent in the line of fire if things go sour...

For the police, they absolutely should heed his request to leave his property. If there was a reason to get a warrant do so and come back and the man could even be in a better mood then.

But this takes actually considering the situtation and not getting upset when your authority is questioned.

But notice what makes you dislike this

should be the one deciding when the police leave the property or not.

So what you're saying here is that police should always back down when a suspect tells them to back down?

You literally have no concern that if a shootout occurs the witness civilian might get shot in the crossfire.
Infact the wife in the house is at risk as well when cops shoot. Might even be kids.

But oh my, he told us what to do!!! Can't have that!
