Ignoring that one of their snipers saw him pull out a rangefinder though…
Well just seeing that probably shouldn’t be enough to use lethal force. At that point he’s effectively just a guy looking through binoculars or a monocular.
Then you ought to have someone remove him nonviolently, just to make sure he’s not a threat. Maybe send a cop up there to instruct him to get down?
Cop is threatened with a gun
Okay at that point you’d expect a radio call to go out “Person on X roof just threatened a Law Enforcement officer with a gun” which I’d consider license to fire.

You’d think the counter-sniper would maybe keep his sights on the guy pulling out sniper equipment.
Especially when he pulls out a fucking rifle.
