As far as what the cop was holding, I think it was a short-barreled shotgun. Whatever it is, it is lashed to his body with one of those "tactical" slings. I stepped thru the video a click at a time as the cop falls, and it appears to me to have a short barrel (so might be an M-4 type rifle), but the butt stock appears to be angled downward like, for example, a Rem 870. Maybe it was a tear-gas launcher (since this started out as a barricade situation) but I would not think you would strap a launcher to your body. At least I wouldn't.

I was surprised to see that the suspect doesn't appear to have any injury as he is being led off. I would have thought a bloody nose or split lip at least.

Don't want to give away the video, but if you've played football (Real American football, AndyC ) you may recall the term "clotheslined."
