"hey u see that guy on the roof with a rifle?"
"yah lol"

“It’s ok, everyone here has way more guns. That’ll make him stop and go home, mark my w…. Oh shit!!”

90 minutes before that, probably:
officer:1 "You guys see that kid walking around the neighboring building with a gun, lol?"
officer2: "Yeah, I waved at him, somebody should make sure he's not here to shoot the president lol"
Where did you read any of that?
It doesn't say whether the cop was armed or not, but given that he was holding the ledge, he wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway.
Yesterdays NYT article on it. They had a long one in the print.
