minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoNo, 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
minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoTheir “job” here is intimidating protestors… They can’t do that if they’re not seen.
minus-squaretjhart85@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoI mean, they’re cops, chances are very high that they suck at their jobs.
minus-squareRevonult@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoThey aren’t trying to hide. OSU has these guys out for every football game or large gathering.
