Lots of places in the US have snipers due to the possibility of terrorist threats, mass shooters, and attackers (eg. Major events like the super bowl), the thing about these snipers is that they’re there to make sure the protestors don’t get too out of hand.
It’s the difference between shooting an intruder trying to bang down your door, and shooting your own kid for being too noisy.
I don’t think shooting into a crowd has ever worked to calm a situation. I seem to remember it not working to well in Boston when the British still ran the place.
