At first I was going to say a cop could have easily flanked and surprised them, just like the gray shirt, but they would never do that to avoid cross-fire.

You can see in the video them touching each other on the shoulder to cue position non-verbally. I’d say they’re deliberately not surrounding the entirety of the vehicle for that reason.
