Chilean here, those aren't commandos, they're riot police. The only thing that sets them apart from regular police is a special six-month training course. The police commandos are called GOPE. They have little equipment and training because the left makes every effort to ensure that they always have less firepower than the Mapuche guerrillas due to the human rights of indigenous peoples (in a nutshell). For example, they are most likely not firing buckshot but rubber bullets, and they are fired back at with FALs and 12-gauge shotguns stolen from farmers. The image shows Weichan Auka Mapu, one of the groups involved in the confrontation.
