The old man stood a foot or two from the window. He didn't make an aggressive movement toward the car. If the girlfriend was in such fear then she wouldn't have exited the car. McGlokton pushes Drejka down (easily) and continues walking toward him. He pulls his shorts up like he wants to fight. He doesn't look like he's done with Drejka until Drejka pulls the gun. McGlokton turns his body but he still stands there. It's reasonable to believe Drejka thought he was going to get his [BLEEP] handed to him.

He didn't die over a parking spot, by the way. He died because he attacked someone unnecessarily. The lesson here is that you shouldn't attack someone without cause.

The text in bold isn't true. As soon as Drejka starts reaching for his gun McGlokton steps back at least two steps, then turns slightly sideways. He was clearly backing away and ceased his aggressive behavior. At that point Drejka had the upper hand and was in control. There was no need to fire.

I'm not sure what the girlfriend's fear, if she was afraid, had to do with it, but if I had two kids in the car and some man was confronting me, pointing at me, I would get out of the car to talk to him.

We also don't hear anything on the video, so we can't say for certain why McGlokton shoved Drejka. 

There may be more to this. There were reports of Drejka harassing another person for the same reason. We'll see.

One thing I find ironic is Drejka isn't even parked in a lined, designated parking spot himself.
