I don’t get it, I assume it has something to do with the Trump assassination attempt. Did the secret service not look up a slope or something?
They apparently decided not to secure the roof that the assassin ended up shooting from because it was sloped and so they were afraid.
I'm not making that up.
She's also trying to throw the local cops under the bus.
Idk that saying "they didn't do their jobs" when they didn't do their jobs is really throwing them under the bus. SS counts on local law enforcement to do things, it's just a fact.
Ignoring that one of their snipers saw him pull out a rangefinder though...
If you're the Secret Service, you rely on small-town cops to prevent a sniper from shooting Trump, and those small-town cops don't do a very good job, that's your fault not theirs.
I think you have an unrealistic expectation of the size and funding of the SS, but they also clearly have unrealistic expectations of the competency of cops (any) so maybe that's fair anyways.
That is an unfortunate abbreviation for Secret Service...
Just wait, in a few months, they are going to become far more similar
...foreshadowing?
Well just seeing that probably shouldn't be enough to use lethal force. At that point he's effectively just a guy looking through binoculars or a monocular.
Then you ought to have someone remove him nonviolently, just to make sure he's not a threat. Maybe send a cop up there to instruct him to get down?
Cop is threatened with a gun
Okay at that point you'd expect a radio call to go out "Person on X roof just threatened a Law Enforcement officer with a gun" which I'd consider license to fire.
You'd think the counter-sniper would maybe keep his sights on the guy pulling out sniper equipment.
Especially when he pulls out a fucking rifle.
Please for the love of whatever, USSS.
ACASS
Funny but I'd really rather reserve the SS title for if Trump gets reelected and puts together his "special DOJ" task force again.
Wow. That’s… I don’t even know. Funny? Sad? Ridiculous? Maybe all of the above.
It's an obvious flaw in Secret Service protocol. If there is nothing in protocol that requires securing that roof then it's gaurenteed that there are many other flaws that can be exploited.
Uhh what the hell, the snipers that took the dude out were on a sloped roof behind the stage? Do they have a one sloped roof per venue rule?
Falling off a roof is a very real danger, to be fair to the US-SS.
Forget the building. I want to know how the shooter even got close with a gun? I would not be shocked that Trump refused to allow metal detectors at the entrances.
He was outside the perimeter which had the metal detectors
The shooter was on a roof
