A machete is a tool, which can also be used as a weapon. Its main function is to cut down stuff, like tall grass, sugar canes, trimming trees, etc. It can also be used to chop people's heads off and otherwise maim, but a lot of force, determination and courage are required to do that.
What this dude had in hand is not a weapon. What the officer had in hand was. Funny how the officer told this dude to "drop the weapon". So scared of a long stick to pick up trash.
