Headscratchers / Black Mirror: Smithereens

• Why didn’t the sniper move to a better position to get a clearer shot on Chris? Or why was there not multiple snipers posted in different locations for the off-chance that Chris would attempt to use Jaden as a Human Shield?
  • Chris started freaking out and threatened Jaden even more aggressively when the negotiator approached the car, ordering everyone to stay back. I think they were afraid he'd see the sniper and kill Jaden.
  • Chris directly tells the negotiator he's aware the negotiator's job is to distract him while the snipers try to get a clear shot, so the cops definitely know that letting him see a sniper actively on the move is a bad idea.
