The ATF guy was a fool for not understanding how law enforcement works. He has a badge and a fucking gun and no clue how to conduct himself with real law enforcement agents. If he had simply followed the very reasonable and understandable orders he could have been back at his business in a couple of minutes. Instead he endangered himself and everybody in the apartments behind him.
On the other hand, the guy who called the cops may be in trouble if he was deceptive when he called the cops.
If he has a half-decent lawyer and actually said "This guy is claiming to be an ATF agent" then he is home free.
There was an article about it linked in the youtube comments. The guy called the local police dispatcher, and read them the ATF guy's badge number for them to confirm. The dispatcher said don't open the door, and wait for the police to arrive. It looks like the legal gun owner did the right thing.
