They left the window to search for the guy they could easily see from the window. Got it.

[elissitdesign]

There’s no need to search there was 20 people on the ground pointing at him saying he’s right there! This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

[lylesmith]

HUH. They are concerned enough to LEAVE a post to search for a person, but not enough to hold up the Rally.

[MRTOMBO]

It gets more smelly. All those Officers abandoning strategic watch points to "go search for" some suspicious dude, and you've got a field full of civilian spectators yelling theres someone on the roof with a rifle, pointing up at him and taking video of him. Just Wow. I've always supported the Police, but I don't get it. All those cops searching, not finding the guy on the roof, while a whole bunch of people are yelling "THERE HE IS!" while pointing at him.

[A-Nonnie-Mouse]

This is like a horror movie when everyone decides to split up and go searching for whatever dumba$$ reason the writers come up with and we all think 'NO ONE WOULD EVER DO THAT.'

My heartfelt apologies to horror writers.

Wow an actual official that can answer questions not transforming to Stonehenge

[legaleeblonde]

I want to know where the 10 member team that trained at the same gun range as Crooks and DHS were in this whole scheme.

[johnthompson]

State trooper who in encounter the shooter failed to do his duty after he was notified by civilians that a shooter was on the roof, he failed to call for backup nor eliminate the threat

[epicriosonlinemoney]

YOU NEVER LEAVE YOUR POSITION AS A SNIPER PROTECTING A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE‼

[TierNorseman]

The window was open because there were ESU officers in there just watching the shooter. Probably betting if he would hit or miss...

[mtfasphaltsealcoatingllc]

Every single person needs to be investigated

[JessicaDuBois]

Either police stalled on telling Secret Service or both were in on it. Something isn't adding up and all of us know it. People need to come forward and tell the truth because none of us are going to buy any more of their lies😢

[jinnv]

Strange that this guy doesn’t have a timeline either. Why would it take this long to get a timeline? Ridiculous.

[JESUSCHRIST-gizo]

STAND DOWN ORDER FROM WHO ?? WRAY GARLAND BOY

[ericmass]

That window has the same vantage point as Crooks did.

[christophergraves]

Why are the Congressmen questioning these higher ups' instead of the men on the spot? This "Top Police Official" was not there and is able to avoid answering the Congressman's question by saying that he does not know this that and the other.

[f.w.]

SS and State Troopers is like a movie of dumb and dumber, our HOA guy has more intel on our neighborhood than these two agencies on that day.

[epicriosonlinemoney]

ESU Officers were NOT supposed to leave their position at all and instead Radio the suspects Description to other officers.

These ESU Officers need to be Investigated IMMEDIATELY‼

[jackg]

Highly suspicious that both of them just so happened to leave their post at just the right time. Did they make this monumentally stupid decision on their own or were they ordered? If ordered Who gave that order?

[A-Nonnie-Mouse]

It's hard to believe they didn't keep at least *one* person at that window. Weren't there multiple local $niper$ in that room?
