The othe question is if the police officer had a good shot to make. He may not be able to have a good shot at the guy. Everyone assumes thr officer had a good view, aim, and can make a kill immediately. It’s not like the movies. We don’t know what the officer sees.
One. You don’t want to miss and cause a panic.
Two. If the police officer misses, then the assassin just starts firing killing people.
So wait until you hear shots and then shoot to kill? Was that the order?
While on the topic of questions not asked:
Following the shooting and about the time of Bidens presser, Fox said the DNC just cancelled a $50 million ad buy the Biden campaign was set to release. I wonder what those ads were going to say. I speculate they were harsh Biden rhetoric that would not look good in the aftermath of the assassination attempt. This is why I doubt the attempt was orchestrated. Encouraged through hate rhetoric, yes, but controlled or set up? I don’t see the motivation. Trumps survival elevated him in the campaign and is not what Biden wanted to have to add to his campaign hurtles. This is karma for dems and all their hatred. They have set the stage for lawlessness and chaos at all levels of governing since COVID. They turned loose forces like antifa and BLM. But they can’t control the monsters they have allowed to fester. It is a dangerous time. Be prepared. JMHO.
