Can’t get over the white pants.
They camo their upper bodies, and leave their legs splayed out. Just perfect for the target to look out and notice something really weird to attract his attention. Good job.

Khaki Squad, Dockers division.
Walk outside, and ask, in a really loud, clueless voice:
“Hi, guys! Watcha doin’? I’m just askin’, cuz y’know, you guys are out here, and I’m just wonderin’ why? Is somethin’ goin’ on? You guys on official business? Who ya aimin’ at? Can I get look? I’m never looked through a scope before, I bet it’s wicked cool, can I try? You guys need anything? Water, Doritos? Need to use the bathroom? I bet you do now that I mentioned it, huh? Isn’t it funny how that works? So you guys going to be around all day? That’s cool, I think I’ll just hang out, and keep you guys company, I’ll go get my folding chair, sure I can’t get you anything…”
They’ll leave.
This is the US. If OP is white, he’d get arrested and jailed for a day for obstruction until a judge throws it out. If brown, he’d be added to ICE’s hit list. If black, he’d be shot.
Best bet would be to disguise yourself as a dog and start humping their legs
Not a good idea. Police shoot dogs for fun. Y’know … “The labrador wagged its tail at me! I feared for my life!”
This is why you make your dog costume out of kevlar
Take one of the trash bins and roll off lol
“HOA’s gonna send me a fine if I don’t put these away. Sorrrrrry!”
I’m curious to know why they are there. They can’t have much in the way of line of sight from there.
They have to justify their budget and military toys so every barricaded suspect situation becomes a 40 man standoff with shit like this. There’s probably a Bearcat off on a side street somewhere.
Coworker of mine had sniper’s set up on his front porch and screw tripods into his railing to hold the rifles when the neighbor’s kid had a mental health crisis and threatened suicide.
He was threatening to hang himself, and the parent offered police the keys to the front door after SWAT arrived.
They drove an MRAP through the garage doors, and still ended up using the keys anyway once inside the garage.
The insane amount of stupidity with toxic masculinity for all that to happen when all that has to be done is call the Suicide hotline or send out a therapist
Not everything is a “MAN PROBLEM”, this is a political issue, and a police state issue, and a capitalist hegemony issue. It’s just easier to dismiss everything as that one nail you think everything is because you took that one online class on hammers.
If you’ve got a few proverbial hours and an active interest in the subject, we could talk about the roots of patriarchy in modern day society and how they influence all of those things.
If you don’t, then I shall shrug and wish you a good day.
Really, a chronic problem on lemmy. People are feminists or communists or bipoc or atheists or linux users, and so literally anything they don’t like, somehow, some way, is caused by the patriarcy/capitalists/racism/organized religion/Bill Gates. But when you start blaming Bill Gates for your stubbed toe, it becomes really obvious that what is actually happening is you are projecting your personal problems onto an external boogeyman as some kind of escapism.
Just implying it’s a gender issue is fascist by itself, and sexist. Though the sexism might be warranted if the commenters opinion has good reasoning behind it, the implications of hours of reasoning needed to offer enough information to be used as a basis for the opinion is an admission of being at fault to me.
It shouldn’t be hard to say: I live in a fascist state.
Instead it becomes: I’m a fascist, but here is why it’s not my fault
Yeah, when leftists talk about defunding the police, we mean that police departments shouldn’t be dealing with situations like that. We should quit wasting money on assault rifles, and instead pay state therapists to be on call for mental health emergencies. Police cannot be adequately trained and equipped for situations like this while also responding to murders and arson and such. The job description is too broad, one person can’t be good at all of those different things. We need to cut the APC budget and put more money into a mental health emergency service.
If you try to harm yourself we will kill you.
Always loved the logic.
To feel like tough guys, so they don’t cry when their wife yells at them for being so stupid again.

Is out with Jody again
“I mean, Jody’s cool, he’s just helping her get through some stuff, y’know. She’s says I don’t get it, but who fucking cares about that girly shit anyway? Where’s that guy we gotta shoot? What’s taking so long?”
If the house across the street is on a corner, they can potentially see across an intersection to a house on the opposite corner. No way of knowing without the wider picture.
Maybe to the front door? Probably, they’re only one of the cover points.
When we had a guy stab another guy and hold his girlfriend hostage with a knife they deployed snipers to the rooftops of surrounding buildings and told us all to stay inside.
Hey dad, somebody stuffed the grass clippings into cargo pants again!
The solution is easy.
“Get the fuck off my property”
Nope, it’s unfortunately not that easy in the US. Not only can police use your property for this… They aren’t liable for any damage they cause while doing so.
Lech v. City of Greenwood Village is a relevant national case. Basically, police demolished a neighbor’s house while executing a warrant, and then refused to reimburse the neighbor. There is a Takings clause of the 5th amendment, that says the government can claim eminent domain and take private property, but they must provide just compensation for the property that was taken… The homeowner tried to argue that the demolition fell under the Takings clause, and therefore he was entitled to just compensation.
The Supreme Court ruled that the police had no obligation to reimburse, as long as the damage occurred due to official police power. The SCOTUS essentially ruled that official police powers (like executing warrants, chasing suspects during an attempted arrest, or staging standoffs) do not invoke the Takings clause. Even if the powers were not directed at the person whose property was taken.
So the pigs have carte blanche to use your shit, as long as they can justify the use as part of executing an official police power.
The fuck is wrong with your supreme court?
It is corrupt, the government is corrupt, and the people aren’t willing to do anything about it. Not mass protests, not dropping the social media they control, or boycotting the companies that give them power.
So, it won’t change.
The administration is on a war rampage also, which means the only way the people will be free, since they do nothing, is if war comes to America, and the regime is taken out by force.
This of course would be ww3, and the casualties of such a war would be far greater than ww2. Many more civilian casualties.
And of course poverty in america. Their government will gove themselves money for luxuries first, their armies second, and their people can have whatever crumbs are left over.
A lot of things.
The US has been a fascist state for a long time.
Your assertion is in large part correct, but it was the 10th district where it ended, the supreme Court refused to review it so it’s still technically ambiguous.
Sorry Americans, SCOTUS cancelled the third amendment
Sniper class is famously weak against melee attack.
That ranged DPS though.
‘Clean on OpSec’
YOU PUT THOSE TRASH BINS BACK WHERE YOU FOUND EM WHEN YOU’RE DONE NOW OK?
“poke them right in the butthole.” -My inner demons
Professor in the house across: duly noted.
I wouldn’t be sneaking up behind them
They could… you know… just use the back door.
Yes! Yes!
hmm…
…
How does fucking the snipers fix this situation again?
Assertion of dominance will prevent the snipers from taking actions against you.
Makes sense to me.
But you know what makes even more sense, them falling in love.😍
Good thing they brought scoped rifles so they can hit the perp right in that one skin pore top left of the wart on his upper lip.
I hope whoever this was recorded these snipers for as long as possible.
“Introduce some chaos.” Throw a firecracker behind them.
