Not only does the guy not look like a LEO counter-sniper, but he was pointing his gun in the direction of a crowd of thousands of people. This fact alone should have gotten him taken out immediately. The counter-snipers that we see in all the photos, that presumably killed him, clearly had him in their sights already, because they immediately opened fire. Through their scopes, they would have been able to see every detail and easily recognize him as a non-friendly.
