summary concern:
1. for whatever reason, local law enforcement was called to 'assist' with secret service duty.
2. communication and breifing between secret service and local law enforcement was insufficient at best.
3. a local indivudal (crooks) was noted both as a suspicious person and seen walking around the area that day.
4. little if any protocol was available to local police as to what to do about this issue.
5. eventually, mr. crooks was able to mount the building with low slope roof and carry a fire arm onto that roof top.
6. mr crook's mount upon rooftop was noted by MANY local citizens who tried to give notice that there was an individual on this rooftop.
7. local police tried to mount roof at which point mr. crooks point gun at police forcing officer back down.
8. local police then would have gone off trying to find a way to stabalize this issue given gravity of situation.
9. an ss sniper (1 of 2) located on a near by height noted a potential shooter on rooftop and radioed in to acting ss manager. ss sniper was ordered to hold off on shot.
10. as soon as a shot was fired by mr crooks, the ss sniper ordered not to take shot then opened fire and decisted mr crooks.
11. really unorganizaed and totally unprepared calamity ensued, almost mickey mouse in nature (quite frankly)
12. the ss sniper that took the shot despite orders not to was release from position later that day as a secret service agent.
13. senate committee hearings are often predominanced with comments like 'local police were not correctly handling their position in this matter' and 'local police did not react quickly enough when a shooter was noted' - this is STRICTLY speaking an SS job and SS job alone. Local police may assist, but defending against rooftop shooters is decidedly a component (if colaberation) that falls under SS jurisdiction, undeniably.

How can we tr 1:36 ust the people investgating? Investigate themselves?

[cgab]

The initial velocity of a bullet fired from an AR-15 rifle is 3200 ft per second, or approximately 3 times the speed of sound. We should have seen Trump’s reaction, then heard the sound of the shot. There would have been a sound delay, even if you factor in the decrease in velocity due to deceleration.

Why are none of the secret service agents wearing ear pieces?
