a 20 year old kid carries a 20ft ladder and a rifle 300 ft from the President and SS didn't see anything? Can't believe that.

How come the people who saw the gun man on the roof but never said they saw a cop..witnesses say the cops did nothing

[americanmess]

How did he know that the building wasn’t protected?

[francosalinas]

So the officer didn’t shoot the guy with a rifle on the roof…..WTH

[JUGGERNAUT____]

Don't worry, yall... the FBI is investigating

[sillywabbit]

The secret service has alot of explaining to do. 😮

[BrianAdriance]

This truly shows how incompetent our law enforcement has become.

[mamaschronicles]

Wait... they read some text but can't get into his phone????

[hng_stuff]

The secret service needs to watch the movie Vantage Point

At 4:11 she reports an officer left the scene when confronted...Was this a former Uvalde, TX officer?

Why was the officer confronting the man on the roof by himself? Why didn't he phone it in immediately?

CBS: Learn to write headlines that match the story, or edit the story down to match the headline. This is a 5:42 video, and you didn't get to the headline until 3:58. Thumbs down on this video.

In this report, the officer "fell from the roof" after confronting the shooter. In another report on another channel, the officer "retreated" after the shooter pointed his weapon at him.

How TF you fall off a 3/12 pitch?
Def not a roofer! 🤪

[Cyranowan]

Why don’t you guys just report the facts and not create a narrative?

[notthatronjohnson]

Law enforcement officers are taught that officer safety is the #1 priority. The supreme court has ruled that law enforcement has no obligation to protect you. Officer bailed when he saw the gun.

Mr. Pelosi said it's Trumps gay lover.

[marktroxell]

None of the spectators that saw shooter saw a police officer

[sanjuansteve]

Why did the rest of the crowd stay seated in place?

[ImShortySparks]

They going to pin this on Mark Walberg again.
