Mediocre episode with hilariously dumb ending

Warning: Spoilers
Are there any Razzies for TV series? The final shootout is likely the most incompetent action scene I have seen in ages. Everyone here is careful to act as unrealistic and stupid as possible. The team moves extremely slowly onto the roof, while the shooter is audibly firing at the civilians in the very distant background - yet nobody feels any need to rush. When they do find him, he has a magical forcefield called a "bullet proof vest", so none of the highly trained officers can hit his arms, legs, head, gun - NO hits from any bullets while the kid patiently stands still for what feels like eternity. In the whole mall scene he has 6 different people unloading various magazines onto him, and he never even flinches or gets so much as a scratch on him. They manage to hit the "vest" once though. It has to be seen to be believed, this is a baffling combination of incompetence in the script, continuity, direction and editing of the scene.
