that officer needs to be fired
sounds like the cowards at the school shooting in Texas.
The cop would only shoot him if he was unarmed....
Maybe the cop was thinking, “oh, that’s just the guy I saw chatting with the FBI/SS; he must be a fed.” Yes, strictly imagination but, unfortunately these days, all too believable.

Well, one thing is for sure. He/she will get 100% of the blame for the assassination attempt. The incompetent Secret Service folks will get a pass.
‘Observe and Report’.
We don’t know what his “rules of engagement” were, though he does also sound clueless.
Before he set foot on the ladder, he should have already have radio’d the SS. He also should have had his weapon ready and should be fired for pulling a Uvalde.
Now, what about the snipers on the barn roof? They had him sighted in but did nothing until after Trump was shot. Why weren’t there agents on all the roofs? They need Melania there to go over security to make sure her husband comes home alive and well because we can’t trust SS. They used to be the elite of the elite and a duty to be proud of.
How hard to take a couple of rungs down, then come back up with gun drawn? How about shooting into the air to draw attention. How many of those guys on the ground under the trees, if ALLOWED, would have been potshotting at the little prick? Civilians have MORE testicular fortitude than a police. Who will take the bet it is a DEI hire, like the loser SS head?
