So I have a question I sort of posted in there too but figure I’ll bring the conversation over here (in a more respectful way)

These are called spotters/marksman and they have them at football games, the Olympics, presumably political events, etc. to handle the threat of suicide bombers and other mass-population terrorist threats

How should we handle these threats without police intervention/snipers to quickly take out a bomber?

Looking for civil discourse if at all possible, but I also understand this is a high stakes discussion and directly affects some more than others

“These threats” what fucking threat?? People protesting? These snipers have never once protected protestors from the violent freaks that show up to run people over or shoot people.

From my point of view/questioning, it’s the threat of suicide bombers and other terrorist efforts (acid, dirty bombs, driving through a crowd of people) when it comes to protesting middle eastern matters in the states. Hell we have American terrorists doing terrorism here too, how do we better prevent that or are we stuck only responding?

This is a complete distraction. The only people spilling protestors’ blood on American soil right now are cops. And your response to it is to try to justify why they need intimidation snipers on top of that?? Absolutely not.

You did not address what they said and instead made a slew of assumptions about their intent. They actually had a question

That was answered, like several times. I don’t care about the intent (from ether party), but the wilfully ignoring any answer that does not fit the weird fear mongering position that this guy is here to protect anyone:
