“the local police were placed under conditions that never should have been allowed to happen”

It is called “contingency planning”—routine in the corporate world.

Police departments never think about what to do if the comms are down or not working as expected?

[Swirl]

Yes, their big brother, the Secret Service, was to take care of everything.

By the way in one body cam video that was released a week or two ago, I saw a SS agent embedded with the LEO’s that were in the building underneath/by the alleged shooter. The SS agent had a phone partly visible in his front pants pocket.

[cgbg]

Correct.

The assassins had a communications system that worked just fine.

Why not have a mic on his front chest, 1 second to push transmit and one second to say “Gun on the grounds”.

Seriously, a 12 year old could better prepare these guys.

a few rounds fired in the air would have attracted everyone's attention including the SS CSTs and trump. trump would have held his gaze steady, giving crooks a static target to fire at. alternatively, the SS CSTs might have initiated counter-fire on the local LEO shooter mistaking him for an assassin in an LEO uniform (since there was most likely no preset agreed upon protocol which included shooting in the air).

Point 1: "trump would have held his gaze steady, giving crooks a static target to fire at.". LOL. The first sound of gunfire the SS personal detail would have jumped all over Trump. Point not taken.

Point 2:"the SS CSTs might have initiated counter fire on the local LEO shooter mistaking him for an assassin" LOL. The man was in uniform BEHIND the AGI building. Point not taken.

Most cops are brave but not real thinkers. Part of their training for details involving high profile public event in support of the SS SHOULD INCLUDE DISCHARGING THEIR WEAPON AS A DANGER SIGNAL. There is no time for comms.

[cgbg]

It should be a reflex.

This is what I do not understand.

Humans should do something—anything—even if it may not be the best choice.

Doing nothing makes no sense at all to me—I just don’t get it.

Give it a rest dude. Local LE beat cops likely don't know communications between them and SS suck. Cops are not trained to shoot into the ground or the air to seek help. BIOYA

[central_va]

Are cops so stupid they can’t shoot ther weapon INTO THE GROUND? No question that would have saved a life in Butler.
