The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders with a final score of 38–17 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

When these two teams come together, there are sure to be issues between the fan bases. Because of that, law enforcement needs to be on point, just in case violence breaks out. You certainly do not want chaos to spread and others to get hurt.

They made sure they were ready for anything and everything on Sunday.

When in California and dealing with rowdy fans, you have to expect the worst. Because of the gang culture, what looks like a fan fight might be something completely different. You never know who is trying to settle a score.

Knowing that, law enforcement had someone ready for that possibility.

Outside Levi’s Stadium, someone caught a sniper tower with a gun sticking out and ready.

That’s a good way to keep fans in check. Law enforcement and counter-snipers are positioned in elevated towers or nests at NFL games as part of standard counter-terrorism and public safety planning. Elevated positions give specialized police or tactical units a perfect vantage point to monitor crowds.

Their presence acts as a preventive deterrent against anyone planning something insane.
