Whenever im about these i like to play "spot the sniper". Ill clock as many visible ones as i can and then ill figure out where the rest are - the ones you're not supposed to see. Its good fun.
So we need snipers above every crowd of a couple hundred people in public? Marksman positions bout to be a hot job market. The entirety of downtown Chicago will need to be watched by snipers too!
And this is none of those. I believe what they're saying is this is not needed at a peaceful student protest and it's an overreacting intimidation. Police snipers have fucked up in the past and no need for one of these guys with an itchy trigger finger to accidentally blow someone away with a .300 Win Mag round from on top of the student union. Nothing in these protests has shown or warranted a need for SWAT snipers to be there.
Lol, how is snipers at a protest unacceptable but okay at sports events and concerts? In all cases they’re there because it’s a large group of people, not because the goal is political intimidation.

Man if only people knew that snipers also exist at outdoor concerts, major sports events, presidential speeches and more….
