Have you considered what would happen if an active shooter, consider one that's pro-Israel, showed up in that crowd and they didn't have a sniper?

This is some absolute bullshit "good guy with a gun" mentality.

Also either painfully, painfully naive or fully deepthroating the boot. Like do you actually believe these anti-riot cops are there to protect the protestors?

Might as well claim that the police at the BLM protests were just there to protect them at that point as well.

Tell me you wouldn't be over here screaming "ACAB" when the cops are unable to get to the shooter (and have to risk firing through a crowd or do nothing) because there are hundreds of college students between where the cops are standing and where the active shooter is.

I wouldn't, I would be talking about the insane fucking gunman killing a bunch of people. Like do you remember the Vegas shooting? The discourse wasn't about the police and how they didn't have snipers everywhere at this event, it was about the actual shooter.

Having a sniper on the roof is in no way similar to a tank running someone over in the street

Okay, then what about the riot cops and traditional military that actually started the massacre? Am I allowed to compare those? Or would that undermine your point too much?

There is 100% a valid reason to use a highly skilled marksman to increase the odds that if something bad does happen, it's stopped quickly, and you can get EMTs to the injured parties.

Yeah and it's just a nice little coincidence that they could be used on the protestors too right? And we all know the police would never lie, or use force against protestors, especially left wing students right? So we should just take them 100% at their word and just let them point weapons at peaceful protestors.

You're either the most naive person on the planet or have a boot kicking fetish. Either way you fucking disgust me.

Give me ONE incident of an active duty US sniper (police or military) EVER shooting a SINGLE protestor with even so much as a rubber bullet. Otherwise your argument is complete bull shit.

Edit: This isn't some "good guy with a gun" or "untrained beat cop" situation. This is a sniper.

Yea but those were hippy beatniks so it's fine.

/S

In that case it was a bunch of National guardsmen, not snipers so he's not wrong if he's talking just snipers.
