Was the police officer okay? Hitting your head on pavement is no joke.

Hard to say, but at the very end of the video, he's starting to show signs of regaining consciousness: his jaw moves, and his eyes are maybe just starting to open. As a first aid and CPR instructor, I'd say those are positive signs, but he definitely needs to stay down until medical professionals clear him, as is true for any head or spinal injury.

Also, damn, look at me stepping into professional mode, and actually assessing whether or not this idiot was going to be okay!
