I bet the sniper(s) are on INGO
No snipers inside those, just regular officers observing the crowd. Easier to observe when you are higher up.
The pictures were taken at the request of the tripod manufacturer. You'll notice that it was daylight outside and there were about 68,000 people not in the stadium at the time. The rifle did not have a round loaded into the chamber at any time that day and once the pics were taken the rifle was placed off to the side and binoculars were used for observation.
I gave permission to the tripod manufacturer to use the photos, I have provided him with pictures previously which he has used in his marketing. I did not know they were going to be put on Facebook.
Awesome photos.
Super Bowl is the most watched TV event of the year. Significant opportunity if someone wanted to cause trouble.
Absolutely need these safety and security measures.
Kinda hard to get a beer and a hot dog way up there!
The comments on the FB pages about those pics are the epitome of stupid. My favorite was some random guy who posted "...I bet I could out shoot that cop..."
I don't think the pictures are in poor taste, but I bet several people are getting some good old behind chewing because the pictures made it out to the internet.
These pics are EVERY where now. 4chan, to CBS news sites, and every where in between.. wow that spread quick
