Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are.

Update, yes there are snipers:

Disinformation post ahead of election season - big shocker.
These aren’t snipers, they’re spotters. You can’t even make out what is in front of the dude in all black.
OPs only response to the closest thing we have to real fact being given was “I don’t buy it”
Seems legit. Toodles.
And now you’re deleting my posts lol. What a joke.
I would have left it if you didn't spam shit at the bottom
Just because you can’t read Chinese doesn’t mean it was spam.
Industry standard tiananamen square copy pasta that gets Chinese propaganda pushers in trouble with Winnie The Pooh. You realize how this looks for you and this instance right?
I thought you were done. You used the yawn emoji.
Dude, I don't care
No need to get bent out of shape, was just defending myself and enriching the comment section with more context.
So sorry

Look, can we start this over? I don’t like how this played out and I too was getting bent out of shape for what was likely good-intentions.
I’d understand if you were still upset and needed some time yet, totally fine
Lemmy is supposed to be better than Reddit culture, and be more civilized, and I feel like this was a fail here. I’d like to try again and maybe we can have some civil discourse about this if you’re up for it
Ok, I'll add an edit to the post.
The conversation I meant, but I agree with adding an edit with more information
I think that’s just fair reporting
As far as the conversation goes what do you want to discuss?
Is there a way we could freedom of information act additional information from the police regarding body cam/an official report?
They might lie, but at least we’d have a physical ledger of lies to point to in the future?
Maybe? I don't know if that's worth the time though. Even if no rifle exists up there they could bring one up whenever. I'm sure there is security footage though of them hauling supplies in.
That would be good too imo, just looking for constructive ways to confirm
What parallel universe are libs living in 😭😭
Love the racism there too. Really brings the whole thing together
Where’s the racism
The part of your comment asserting the "asians have yellow skin" stereotype, what else?
Huh? If thats legitimately what people are trying to push as racism, the ignorance is laughable.

Nothing to do with racism but keep trying to gaslight and push false narratives.
lol just like all disagreement with Israel is antisemitism.
WEAK wumao
Any pro-Palestinians asserting racist antisemitic stereotypes?
Disagree. The CPC gave me a raise for ratio'ing in this thread
What in the fascist pig hell...
Where do you think the administration got the info that its just spotters from? Cops. The fact that they even called the cops is a red flag.
What the fuck does this have to do with the election?
Where are you getting that information from?
Source?
Why should I believe the university?
Because it’s better than believing an unregulated social media site that’s been proven to pedal disinformation repeatedly??
A platform owned by the richest man in the world who happens to be the son of South African apartheid?
A platform for which he removed fact checking on?
The only picture you have, you can’t even make out what’s in front of them?
Can I ask why you deleted my comment that had the Tiananmen Square Massacre copy pasta?
Because its spammy
Sure. Whatever you say.
This just in: copypasta is not spam
???
I posted it once but okay
The irony of complaining about "disinformation" while spamming disinformation yourself lmao
What part of what I said was disinformation?
TIL spotters like to use one normal sized spotting scope alongside another one that's the size of a rifle with a cover on it. Doesn't make sense to me but I'm no spotter.
different optical prescription of each eye.
One is prescribed for myopia the other for dystopia.
So is the guy with a big ol' rifle a spotter too?
Maybe if you'd considered what spotters are for you wouldn't be baselessly asserting that US police aren't preparing to use unreasonable force.
I haven’t seen anything that showed the guy in black with an actual gun, one person responded with a picture of a guy with a gun but provided 0 source
Just trying to get to the bottom of things and avoid disinformation
The guy who posted that is pretty well known in this instance for being a reliable information source on events happening in Ohio. They're not just a random user.
Ah, that would make sense then
Can you see where I’m coming from as an outsider just trying to make sense of it all while still being on my own guard?
