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

Their job is intimidation, so they are succeeding.

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.

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

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.

Im sure OSU specifically is fine, they have like the 2nd or 3rd largest campus in the country, big 10 school with a ton of funding, multiple highly accredited programs, and many people go there just to say they went to “The” Ohio State Univesity

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.

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
