 FACT: The sharpshooter puts a laser dot on Romans head and the  officers in the helicopter light Roman up with about eight lasers  while hes standing in the window. Police sharpshooters dont use  laser sights (i.e. red dot on target). Theyre good enough to not  need them and dont want to tip off the suspect that hes in their  sights. Any cops who do have laser sights (which is unlikely, but  conceivable) dont put them on the target and keep them there. The  sights are for rapidly getting the gun on target
