So I read the article and not a whole lot of real information there.
There was however a lot of questionable "talking points" by the police spokesman.
While I have never been in law enforcement...
I have served as a Infantryman , in LRSD / LRRP units and as a sniper.
In any of the above you are never supposed to be more than arms distant from your rifle / weapon.
This 'rule" would have been helpful here in the OP.
I also have to question the idea of a sniper being in plain view with a good clear silhouette of himself , on a roof top.
Again...I have never been a police sniper...so maybe they work differently then how we did it in the Army.
