Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. (midwest.social)

If they’re actually snipers, they suck at their job.

Their job is intimidation, so they are succeeding.

I mean, they're cops, chances are very high that they suck at their jobs.

Including the shooting part.

Their "job" here is intimidating protestors....

They can't do that if they're not seen.

They aren't trying to hide. OSU has these guys out for every football game or large gathering.

Sometimes they need to hide, some times they need to be seen

If you can see one team, there is probably at least one more you can't.

No, these are police snipers their job is to shoot anyone who actually succeeds at hurting cops. They aren’t the same tactical role as military snipers
