What do you mean 'confronted the gunman and then retreated'? What is this? Summer camp? Where were those officers trained?

[bradschwamberger]

So one cop sees him and Trump was not removed right then? This is the keystone cops at work.

[James-kesy]

So they had 30 minutes to get Trump off the stage? Where on earth did the common sense fly off to?

[nickmcd]

So he sees the kid on the roof with a rifle and doesn’t get trump off the stage immediately. Makes sense

[randuthayne]

well if she's not stepping down. HOW is she taking responsibility?

[chodkowski]

She claims responsibility then blames local police.

[sandrajames]

Who would ANY police let a guy in pale gray with a rifle go free when there is an event like this going on? Police and secret service were in black so he couldn't have been mistaken for them

[whereareyou]

30 minutes before. And no one called to Trump to not take the podium. What absolute BS!

[kprtexn]

What she is saying is that her check is more important than all the people who got hurt...

[redseven]

They let this happen if you can't see this, then you blind...

[magicalminty]

"Secret service director says she takes responsibility for what happened... but she's not stepping down."

So she's taking responsibility, but without any of that pesky accountability? Wtf does she think the word responsibility means?

[khatdubell]

You call it "looking for details", i call it "covering up evidence"

[autumneagle]

I didn't realize they hired Uvalde police for the speech.

[ckxxlsh]

And that secret service boss says the roof was too slanted and too risky but then you put people in the building and outside the building and nobody's allowed in the building besides Secret Service simple as that how stupid of excuses she has she's a poor excuse for a boss for security I'm not buying her bullshit

[Lorie]

Oh, so you're not stepping down? Lady, you WILL be leaving, either fired or prison for you.

[Bobotrucker]

Head of ss also said they didn't have an agent or law enforcement person on the roof where the shooter fired from because it was a sloped roof and might be dangerous for that person? Yeah ok..

[yatyas]

So taking a photo was more important than making everyone safe ?

[leeleeroq]

The officer didn’t follow the kid for that half hour after vlogging the photo? Unbelievable.

[terribelle]

@1:48 Yeah, YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE! STEP DOWN!

[iwritethehooks]

How did he know to buy a ladder? How did he know which rooftop was optimal? How did he know where Trump was going to be? Where is his geospatial data from the week prior?
