Im pretty sure thats not a foregrip, the magazine is open. Cops probably left it open after they cleared the rifle

When you stripper clip load an SKS you do not need to open the internal magazine.

It is a good way to empty the gun, though, so a knowledgeable officer probably did it to empty it and the used the bolt to eject the chambered round. Or the shooter fucked up, that too is a possibility.
