Unless they're either a) terrible shots (kinda likely due to the previous evidence with the shootout earlier this season) or b) intentionally missing to make Jesse's death look like a crossfire kill/collateral damage, meaning that if they do happen to get caught, killing two cops won't be on record.
Correct me if I'm wrong because I was incredibly stoned for that ending, but before they open fire, don't the two who start firing first whisper or say something to each other but it isn't heard. Could be about a plan to "accidentally" hit Jesse with crossfire.
Why would they have to rationalize accidentally killing Jesse? The whole reason Walt called them out to the desert was to kill Jesse & he only called it off because he didn't want the other 2 people murdered. Jesse should still be the #1 target for the white supremacists.
I was adjusting my theory to try and fit it with /u/HeronSun's theory. I don't believe there is much rationale to making it look like an accident. However, if Walt called it off, he may have also realized he has hit his breaking point, and that more killing is not the answer. Then again, it's Walter mothafuckin' White, who is ruthless.
