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

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

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

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.

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.

If only there was a history class or something on campus...

If OSU is like my campus (dismantling the humanities college in a pro-STEM state), they may not have much of a history department anymore.

Their job is intimidation, so they are succeeding.
