Didn’t Spielberg edit ET so the police were holding batons instead of shotguns when they attempted the road block of Elliot and his friends?

  Yes, he also thought better of this in later life and spoke about it explicitly, which by great chance is mentioned in TFA you didn't read.

    Not in the article,but there were dialogue changes in the 20th anniversary edition too: > Elliot's mother's prohibition to go trick-or-treating dressed as "a terrorist" has been changed to "a hippie".[1] I don't know whether this has been changed back to the original dialogue now.
