Okay, but were there any police shooting at student protestors? This is the first I've heard of it.
They did shoot the guy pretty fast once he fired though.
We're there police snipers at a student rally shooting at people? When did this happen?
Shooting? No. Flexing their guns? Yes:

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.
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.
USSS isn't "police".
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.
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.
I think the meme is referring to the security of the events?
I don't recall any pro-Israel rallies where protesters got shot...
That's because the ones that got shot at were protesting against genocide, not for it.
