No way to know, really. Perhaps Tesla is concerned the protest might get too rowdy. They might be paramedics perched atop the building, watching like hawks, ready to deliver medical care up to a range of hundreds of yards at thousands of feet per second.

The protesters need counter medics then, so everyone is safe in both sides

Good thinking. Also, they'll need supplies. I was thinking a mixture of 7.62x51mm, 5.56x45mm and 12-gauge medical delivery systems, but I admit I'm not a medical expert.

That's so considerate. Now, we can accurately treat people over a mile away.

Let's just standardize on .223 and 5.56 so everyone can share supplies. Good call on the 12ga., best choice for close-in attention.

Smart.Healthcare is all about teamwork.

Thanks. I think the personal touch goes a long way in medicine.

If I worked at a Tesla dealership, and there was a protest outside, I might go up on the roof so I could keep an eye on things without being involved.

It could be something more sinister than that, but it also could just be that.

I worked at a big box store for a long time and i'd frequently chill on the roof. You needed sunglasses because in sunny weather it was very bright up there

Well hell, guess who's hunting for roof access when he gets back to work later this week.

Worst place to be if there is a fire tho. So everyone be extra careful. No smoking or fireworks at the demonstration!

Probably some middle manager of the security team who thinks it's his job to keep an eye on things. No real concrete goal, just something that feels like what he should be doing.

I would say just people taking videos.

Basic surveillance, possibly enhanced with cameras and wifi.
