"Security! There's a guy with a gun on that roof!", security: "whatever"....? Seriously, wtf??

[williewhite]

So much for, "see something, say something", huh! 🤔

[keithRR]

btw... the man didnt claim he notified police, he DID notify police,

[natesquestyouknowthatsrigh]

Total incompetence on the part of the secret service, makes you think they are complicit

[chriskopeikin]

A citizen from the ground identified a man running across tops of buildings but a sniper team atop a building with 360 view as well as Birds Eye missed him?

[aaronspringer]

Not only are the SS agents to blame but now come to find out so are the police. Very upsetting.

[cindyhook]

This is the second witness I have seen report the same thing! What the hell is going on in America and Canada? 🇨🇦🙏🕊☮️☮️😢

[BCox-vmxd]

This makes you wonder why action from Law Enforcement was so slow?

[ServeJesus]

Google is working very hard to censor the A word.

Lets see how quickly this video disaapers off youtube and doesnt come up on peoples searches.

You don't think those local Barney Fife's are qualified for anything other than writing traffic tickets do ya?

[rander]

I couldn't be a cop and try to ferret out truth from BS from all the people I encountered. STILL, the cop sure seems to do a poor job of responding to this guy's claim of a guy with a rifle.

[steveleee]

Jfk monent here yall. 130 yards away w a rifle. ? Something stinks here

[bbredhead]

Another guy on BBC NEWS also said the same thing!!!

[zeke]

An officer can get on his radio and have Trump removed from stage in seconds. Another witness said 2 minutes elapsed after alerting authorities

[marciakrause]

So the cop ignored the fact someone was on the roof!!??

[mikehalling]

FBI/local police probably thought spectators reported an agent stationed on the roof within the fairgrounds, not the gunman on a factory roof outside the grounds.

[mohammadmatin]

I have seen the photos only. There’s another man also, saw the shooter mentioned to BBC reporter.

[jackmlindi]

It's all happening after legal pressures on Trump failed and also soon after Nato summit in Washington DC ended, I'm just curious!

[mightymulatto]

It sounds like they aren't responsible for extending protection outside the rally.
