According to James Okeefe he has received video from drone footage showing the guy on the roof. Their drone. They knew he was there. THEY KNEW. They knew he was on that roof. They should have started suppressive fire at the roofline Ping, ping, ping to keep his head down and told the SS team to get Trump off the stage. This isn’t rocket science. The whole thing is beyond belief.
Here’s your three choices
Those guys are worthless
Those guys are poorly trained
Those guys were told not to shoot
I’m going with door #3
If the security drone was in the air that is proof the SS managers were in on it.
You seem to be unaware of the 1st rule any firearms owner / holder is supposed to be taught (excepting actual wartime situations, directly under fire yourself, or if you are a terrorist, gangster, etc.)
That said, if the vid proves out (probable), that likely explains the security people the witness said were running around the base of the building, but witnesses said the cops couldn't see the shooter from their position(s). That still doesn't help the snipers: Best they can do is aim somewhere along the roofline, scan for someone coming over, identify or receive ID that that particular figure who just appeared over the roofline is a bogey and not a LEO, swing rifle over to get bogey in the scope, aim, and fire. More than enough time for the shooter to get off his 3 shots.
Getting Trump "down"? That will depend on the time stamp. I lean toward "should have happened", but if there is enough incompetency to not at least have a couple reliable Sheriff's Deputies on that roof in the first place, a screw up in communications is relatively much easier to accept. Lacking info., at this point I'd give it a "one in three".
Again, gross incompetency "somewhere" in the security op, by not having security on that roof, is staring you right in the face. The sniper's actions are exactly what should be expected. Once visible TO THEM, the threat was quickly eliminated.
I just saw a vid from close to the building the assassin was on. Updated “take”:
The closer sniper appears to raise his head to spot the shooter. (The chances of the shooter appearing over the ridgeline of the building already in the sniper’s ‘scope are nil.) Spotting the shooter the closer sniper adjusts and goes back to the ‘scope, but BOTH snipers flinch at the 1st 3 shots. The camera pans left so we don’t see the snipers return fire, but we hear other shots begin with a somewhat different sound and a faster rate.
In a different vid taken near the AG building one can hear the shooter’s 3 shots again, then 5 rapid, more powerful shots, a slight delay and a not-as-loud shot, another longer delay, and yet another not-as-loud shot.

There is also this vid describing sniper target acquisition:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/politics/video/trump-shooting-security-failure-mills-ldn-digvid
It’s not “instant”.
So... I’m going to take back what I posted earlier — based on the video near the building, and especially the acoustics from that vid, I don’t think those 5 rapid shots came from the snipers near Trump, and those shots were not the shooter’s. I would guess a different “asset” nearer the building spotted the shooter popping up, got sights on him, and fired those 5 shots, taking the would be assassin down. The last two shots came from yet another LEO or SS (maybe the shooter twitched?)
In this scenario the snipers on the roof near Trump did not fire the grouping of 5 shots because the shooter had already been hit by the time they recovered and got dialed in / crosshairs on the target.
If more video / audio evidence comes in, the above is subject to revision!!!
