Police body cam footage from July 13th was released late last week to little response, and has largely remained under the radar in the days since.
This is not surprising, since the last thing the legacy media wants is for people to focus on this historic instance in which President Trump was confronted face-to-face by death and answered like a roaring lion.
There’s a lot that can be learned from this footage. There has been plenty of speculation since the shooting, some of it sound, some of it absolutely off the wall. F
SNIP
Back to Butler: what does the new footage tell us? Simply put, it tells us that chaos was queen on July 13th. Following the shooting, there is absolutely no sign of planning, procedure, or even simple competence among the law enforcement personnel present. Evidently, fate simply grabbed a bucketful of dull-normals and sprinkled them over the rally site. For the first few minutes, cops from several forces are milling around next to the building used by the shooter asking questions and getting no rational answers. There is some speculation on how to clamber up to the roof with no action taken.
Eventually, somebody shows up with a telescoping ladder, which, it becomes immediately evident, nobody knows how to use. Instead of pulling it out to full length, one of the cops braces it atop a very unstable plastic cabinet against the wall of the building, apparently intending to use it as a stepladder. Needless to say, this doesn’t work out, and the cops abandon the ladder in favor of milling around further. It’s around this point that the cop wearing the camera announces that he’d mentioned this very building to the Secret Service. He repeats this several times.

I never thought the local LEO were involved in a conspiracy. But, that does not mean that the Feds were not either.
BTTT
The Police body cam videos-—I have watched a lot of these videos on you tube-

Very interesting stuff—the Police saw the shooter on the roof in plenty of time to warn Trump to be removed from the stage. My feeling was that the Secret Service kept them out of the loop and just let it happen-—fully aware of the situation—NOT posting any personnel on that rooftop-—NOT attending joint advance security briefings, bad communications between Local and Secret Service operatives, ect...
The local cops came across as totally unaware and clueless as to what was going on and more importantly—HOW to deal with it-
“This, to my mind kills any notion of a conspiracy. “
The author needs to pull back a bit, what happened post kill shot doesn’t matter. It isn’t incompetence or stupidity that leaves a perfect snipers lay wide open, with the sniper casing and range finding the place, running across a metal roof beneath which cops are stationed, which sniper being pointed to and screamed about by onlooking public. The better part of a half hour of this went on before Trump was escorted out and fired upon. Yet how many breaths did the shooter draw after taking his positively easy, utterly unmolested kill shot?
Even if this were stupidity it would be criminal stupidity and chargeable.
And oh, seen anybody looking into this kid, where he’d been and what he’d done for, say, the past year of his life? The Dog That Didn’t Bark comes to mind. There’s more proof right there that everyone including the media knows what this is.
And a conspiracy doesn't have to be huge to be effective. I focus on the on-scene supervisor, who if I had my way, would've lost her job by noon the next day and under investigation. I want to hear ALL of her radio transmissions, ALL of her phone calls, and read ALL of her text messages.
The lesson from this is that a gun report - or series of gun reports, or what might have sounded like gun reports, or ANY LOUD NOISE WHATSOEVER such as a police siren - would have dramatically changed the outcome.
i.e., in the face of an observed shooter in such a situation, ANYTHING which sounds like a firearm report or siren has the potential to change the outcome, removing control from the shooter and/or he/they controlling the shooter.
Think hard about that, as well as how it is possible that not a SINGLE non-USSS, local officer thought to ‘sound the alarm’ in the face of what was obviously either communications failure, bureaucratic wrangling/incompetence or, for that matter, conspiracy.
The silence from the enemedia on Crooks is deafening...

It’s so easy to dismiss the assassination attempt as a security screwup when we see the chaos at the ‘mystery’ pass locked building, but when you view the SS actions (note how they are guarding entry) you can see how the SS deliberately set the whole thing up to look to breed chaos throughout the scene. I say that because, it’s fair to surmise they deliberately kept the locals in the dark to carry out the hoped for hit on Trump. There is no way on God’s green earth that the buildings would go unprotected unless the buildings (one story and two story next to it) were not intended to to be used as the command post to execute the assassination hit. What was going on inside those two building before and at the time of shooting lies at the heart of this orchestrated hit. How no one with ears could have not heard the scumbag running around on the roof defies credulity. The windows in the second story building clearly would have provided a visual of Crooks. Indeed, the view from one of the second story windows was supposedly used as the vantage point for taking the two pictures of Crooks. Clearly LE had the run of both these buildings on the inside so the fact that the cover-up skirts all these obvious inside details concerning the inside of these two buildings belies the truth that this was a set up that went horribly wrong for the assassins and now they are juggling the balls like clowns at a circus who want the whole thing chucked into the memory hole - nothing to see here, time to move on. We will know this is so if no one bothers to seek John Cullen and Jason Goodman’s analysis of the shoot.
The bodycam videos of the beat cops show what little security there was around the AGR building. The beat cops were the ones that were doing crowd and traffic control and were diverted in the last few minutes to look for Crooks.
Not a single press conference on this since the acting director promised he would make all agents available for interviews to the Senate committee.
Nothing.
The locals were simply kept out of the loop. No local is going to shoulder aside the “premier security agency in the world”, a quote from a British security expert. They’d assume the SS had things covered. The SS have utterly destroyed their credibility. I hope those rats know that.
The fact that the local Police did NOTHING to warn of the potential threat and get Trump off the stage is DEFINITELY the biggest issue with the whole situation and seriously makes you question to what extent were “they” involved, obviously not the uniformed patrol cops—they just did not use common sense and do as you say-—just start yelling—”Shooter on Roof—Shooter on Roof”—Something—ANYTHING!
Its like when you go camping and a Bear rolls into camp—You yell—”Bear in Camp—Bear in Camp” You don’t zip up your tent and wait for it do hopefully move on—WTH.
Agreed—way too many obvious warnings missed—its really something to watch the Body Cam Videos and not shake your head.
You don’t know what you’re talking about regarding the local officers.
I know you don’t let a person of interest run around free to do as he pleases AFTER marking him as a potential threat-—then watch him with a rifle on a roof-—
The local cops were likely assigned a specific job and never had a plan B for a shooter on the AGR building..
Maybe not “initially” but he was certainly marked as a person of suspicion—left unwatched AND was a marked threat and allowed to roam free—

Just listening to the vid posted, cell phone service was shut down as soon as Trump came on the stage. The police were relying on cèll service to communicate wiit SS. What a cluster duck!
