To be fair, he was told to 'stand down' by the 911 operator. Its possible the person he spoke with is NOT a police officer or even employed by the police.
Different places do thigns differently with 911. Where I worked in NJ, the 2 counties I worked in regularly had the 911 services run by the County Sheriff's Office. The dispatchers were not law enforcement officials, an din those 2 counties, deputy's did not perform any patrol duties - they pretty much served warrants, guarded the courthouse and ran the county jail. On the flip side, where I live now, 911 is run by a separate group, not affiliated with the county sheriff's office. Either way, he was told to stand down...that is very clear from the tapes that have been released.
