nullagentSnipers were also on roofs at Ohio State all day today.
Ohio State students repelled several attempts at dispersal by cops until late into the night.
Students reported a larger police presence for a protest of a few hundred, than is typical for football games which draws 100k+ fans.

If you've been following along today, you probably can guess what happened next...
Of course a column of cops in riot gear attempted to storm into the crowd and began violently arresting peaceful protesters.
Reportedly 15 arrests so far.

What was the crime the militarized police were on Ohio State's campus to crack down on?
Well if you rewind time maybe we see the terror, panic and chaos caused by some students walking from the Student Union to the big grass quad on a nice day.
What you can't see a reason? I guess you're just not fascist enough 🤷🏿♂️

There was a pretty hilarious moment at Ohio State when an uncover cop was spotted by the crowd.
Guy stuck out like a sore thumb. Actually, dude kinda looked like a thumb.

Update on the sniper claim. The school is lying about these sharp shooters on the roofs not having rifles.
Multiple folks OTG at Ohio State reported seeing those creeps on the roof caring rifle bags to and from the roof.
More clear photos have been posted since the school started lying and no those dudes were armed. Their rifles were just not visible at all times.

Now of course they will claim these police snipers are doing overwatch to "protect the protesters" presumably from the sorts of violent thugs that have started showing up at other campuses.

But I for one absolutely think these details primary job is intimidating peaceful protesters.
When Seattle's 2020 protests occurred our cops did the same thing only when it got dark they used their visible laser sights to illuminate and intimidate individual peaceful protesters.

Anywho this whole "Ohio State not using snipers" lie is an excellent case study of why I trust reports from protesters OTG a million times more than any BS police account that a journalist prints without scrutiny.
As a note, a lot of times the people who make these critical observations or have the smoking gun photos get arrested at the protest. It can take hours and days to get those photos while folks are in jail. I trust OTG comrades and patiently await updates when they're able.
[David Nathanson has moved]@nullagent I had a grenade launcher pointed at me at the 2004 Boston Democratic National Convention. How do I know? My fellow legal observer had just come back from deployment in Iraq. He pointed it out.

The same 40 mm launchers are used for lethal antipersonnel grenade munitions, as for "less lethal" tear gas canister and rubber bullet munitions. Whether it's a grenade launcher or a tear gas launcher is just a question of what munitions were issued to the wielder.

@dragonfrog @nullagent I am aware and was aware at the time. It’s not comforting. At all.
I cannot imagine it would have been.
