However the drawn firearm indicate it is not "minor" in the slightest.

No evidence at all that a person should have been "in shock" or anyone has any injuries.

We can't see the suspects face at all. The facial expression and eyes could be telling the officer that this is much worse than what we see. He has 6 years experience. We have poor visibility, low detail on the subject and 2 minute video with the officers arms in the way.
