Yup. Kinda jumps out at you doesn't it. Both of these clowns are idiots playing 'soldier'. You'll note they are probably pretty well silhouetted on the top of the roof as well. If someone was looking to bump them off, it would be easy pickings.
They usually don’t have any crime in Fox Lake. They aren’t as jaded as big city police, just ordinary small-town guys.
First thought I had: “Silhouetted on the roofline.” Second: “Spotter is going to be stone deaf if sniper has to take a shot.” Third: “WTF kind of bracing position is that?”
All that said, God keep these men as they carry out a dangerous job. God be with the family of the slain officer.
I’ll give them a bit more credit than you are, They are “posing” for the cameraman, and the man with the rifle is simply observing through his scope much like the bino man is doing. I would doubt that they are in position to engage, and are in a safe enough place to let someone take their picture without everyone being a target. (I hope that’s the case, anyway)....
