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

The issue is I can not even with my vivid imagination can think of a scenario where shooting into a crowd (where these teams have their rifles pointed) would have benefits that outweigh the risks.

The use for sniper teams on roof tops is in VIP protection (as in fuck all the little guys as long as the important one is safe) and offensive actions.

From protesting or attacking protesters? Its getting hard to tell.

Yes and probably yes. But that answers why they are there.
