He's actually only been on the force for 3 years and is 25 years old.
He should definitely be suspended for an extended period of time to undergo further training as it's evident he didn't know how to properly handle the situation. It would have taken him only minute at most to have found out from someone if their story has legit especially since he pulled them over in the hospital parking lot.
As far as the gun issue as SBVII has said, officers are trained to watch out for their safety and someone getting out of a pulled over car without being asked for by the officer more often than not results in someone about to attempt to do harm to that officer as evident by the amazing increase in recent years in officer shootings during pull overs for random traffic violations.
He only unholstered his weapon, but never actually pointed it at anyone.
