I think an interesting question is, why didnt the sniper shoot the police man that was 50 feet away from the guy at the gas station the shot instead? For some reason that seems odd to me.

One simple answer would be: because he didn't see him. If he were in the back of the truck waiting to shoot, he couldn't have seen him. Only the driver had a chance to see him but he saw him too late, his partner had already shot someone. IMO

I'd guess the cop wasn't in his (or his spotters) field of vision.

Not if the shooter is making a point. Look Mr. Policeman, you can't even protect someone that is 50 yards from you. It could have been you this time, but instead I 'chose' to let you live. See, I am God. I get to do the choosing on who lives and who dies.

It also serves to imply to the media and others that the police are inept. They can't even find a shooter, that is right under their nose.

The police wear "bullet proof" vests, making it a much chancier shot. PK goes way down.
