That’s because the ones that got shot at were protesting against genocide, not for it.
I think the meme is referring to the security of the events?
Also, one is an elite federal police officer that passed extremely stringent background checks, has an extraordinary employment history, has completed the world’s best body guard training. The other made it thru a 5-month certification process at the local community college.
We’re there police snipers at a student rally shooting at people? When did this happen?
It didn’t. Someone posted about snipers spotted near a protest, which is common at any large crowds in big cities (like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade). It’s just a bad meme.
Shooting? No. Flexing their guns? Yes:

Sorry, I just flew over the article. Where do they say that it is a pro-terrorist protest?
I’m not going to hold my breath for them to reply that it actually doesn’t. I assume they’re referring to the idea that if you’re opposed to Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, then you therefore support Hamas terrorist attacks, as if there is no middle ground between “let the terrorists do whatever they want” and "just bomb their hospitals and gun down fleeing civilians.’
It doesn’t, that person is just a genocide apologist.
USSS isn’t “police”.
Also
Just because they’re both agencies that enforce laws, doesn’t make them both police. You don’t call the Secret Service when your neighbors dog shits on your lawn. Or when someone breaks into your car… Unless you’re literally the president/ex-president.
Being obtuse on this statement is kind of silly.

Ah you’re one of those types. So disillusioned that you think you’ll never dial 911.
Is it so surprising that someone might feel that way?
The snipers probably are, though
They have their own team. https://www.secretservice.gov/careers/uniformed-division/CS
Weird that they would go to campus protests
They didn’t. The meme makes no sense.
Right, the ones at campus protests were definitely police, so at least that part makes sense
Snipers have never shot into a student protest.
They did shoot the guy pretty fast once he fired though.
Okay, but were there any police shooting at student protestors? This is the first I’ve heard of it.
