One reason I like the CAV-15:

It was a shot from above that killed would-be assassin Thomas Crooks at a July campaign rally where he almost murdered President Donald Trump.
But it was a shot from below that took Crooks out of action first, according to a congressional report ...
And that shot, fired by a local law enforcement sniper, was incredible.
...
Louisiana Republican Rep. Clay Higgins... Crooks fired eight shots, killing a firefighter who attended the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally with his family, critically wounding two others, and coming within a hair’s breadth of ending the life of the 45th president.
...
The ninth shot fired that day came from a SWAT team member from Butler County.
It did not kill Crooks but struck the stock of his rifle and “fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up.” The shot is also believed to have disabled the rifle’s buffer tube, a critical component in the weapon’s cycling function.
...
..
The 10th shot fired that day apparently came from a Secret Service sniper from a location above Crooks. That shot put Crooks down permanently.
...
He has criticized the FBI, for instance, for releasing Crooks’ body for cremation before it could be thoroughly examined.
He accused the FBI of cleaning up “biological evidence” at the scene,
...
Butler County law enforcement had set aside radios for the Secret Service that were “were properly and perfectly arranged during the extensive pre-mission planning.” But the Secret Service never picked them up.
The American public already knows, however, that security failure abounded at the Trump rally that day.

“Almost murdered....”. You did hear that vaxxed and multi boostered joementia contracted another case (alledgedly) of CONvid that same week....... IIRC some of the lame stream tried to sell that crap.
And still ANOTHER version of what is claimed to have happened in Butler, PA.
We can expect even more versions until what really happened is buried under the volumes of fairy tales about the event.
It was a hit. Trump went down so the overwatch thought that Crooks had made a fatal headshot. At that point they did what they planned to do no matter what and eliminated Crooks.
Do we have audio of ALL 10 shots?
Sadly I think you are right. Very scary

How long to you hold onto a body and how long should you wait to clean a crime scene up.
I haven’t heard one word from that dufos acting SS director after 3 weeks ago he said he would immediately make all the SS agents there that day available to the senate for questioning.
Why the news blackout on any further developments?

This was not a security failure. This was a SS stand down and should be investigated as such. Too many coincidences.
Have they cremated the weapon and released the ashes for disposal yet?
Maybe that was all the SWAT member was trying for..................
8 shots, 8 shots, Then 9 shots, 9 shots, Now 10 shots, 10 shots. DC is horrible at cover up but who is ballsy enough to really challenge their lies?
Yep. It was not a “security failure”. It was complicity.
Exactly what I believe
Did the last shot come from the water tower?
Shortly after the shooting I saw video from someone in front of Trump which captured the water tower. There was obviously someone on top of the water tower, walking around and behind the white “bullet” on top of the water tower.
Someone reported there was a zip line from the top of the water tower to the trees behind it. There was (reported) department of agriculture vehicle parked at the end of the zip line which was used to make an exit
I haven’t been able to see that post by a private individual since
The person on top of the water tower was just a dark shape at that distance.
Oh, wait:
What happened to the multiple shooters???
/s
More importantly, do we still have the rifle, or did the fibby destroy that evidence, too?
When will they ever stop using the silly term “operator”.
My mom was an operator. We have a bumper crop of people out there with a James Bond complex.
I’m sure we have the rifle and the casings....and plenty of DNA....
