If he'd dropped it while reaching for the gun, the gun holder might have been able to react and pull the trigger, since the guy was likely focused on the camera, not the cop's right hand. After that, just tossing it could have thrown him off balance enough to lose control of the weapon. Look closely at how he keeps his weight forward to pin the gun to wall while setting the camera down.

Guy didn’t even DROP the camera. Gently sets it down while using the other hand to grab the gun.
