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

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.

I don't buy it. Guarantee you they have a precision rifle up there.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a police man in possession of a good vantage, must be in want of a precision rifle

dude has his bipod deployed on top of his tripod, in possibly the least comfortable and most obvious position of all time, hoo lee, get this guy a medal or something we're sending our best to protect against the dangerous student body

I’ve seen this before, they intend to begin beating students soon and fear reprisal.

Shocked they didn’t bring the tank
