A couple of thoughts.

Yes, these are the same people you see at football games (although they usually are better hidden).

1. It is a bad PR move and looks bad for the university - ESPECIALLY a university in Ohio. They should also be more discreet and maybe realize that it looks like a damn gun instead of a scope.
2. That being said, there may be a protocol that when x number of people are gathered in an area, they have to deploy these people.
3. I just read that some of them WERE armed. https://www.thelantern.com/2024/04/university-says-officers-had-readied-firearms-directed-toward-protesters-from-ohio-unions-roof-once-arrests-began/

There’s a couple of bits that get stuck that my tuxedo cat gets when she puts her paw up the slot.

Get an autofeeder. Saved me sleep.

Cats love ear wax. With one of my cats we get wax out of her ear and let her lick it. I think it’s the protein.
