Local police encountered attempted-assassin Thomas Crooks just moments before he tried to kill former president Donald Trump — but failed to stop the gunman despite the clear threat, according to a report.
After rallygoers spotted Crooks on the roof of a manufacturing plant just 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking just after 6 p.m. Tuesday, police were notified and one officer climbed a ladder to investigate, law enforcement officials said on the condition of anonymity.
There the officer encountered Crooks, who pointed his AR-style rifle at them.
The officer then backed down the ladder, and Crooks immediately took aim and loosed eight shots at the former president – grazing him in the ear, killing one bystander in the rally crowd, and gravely wounding two others.

“The officer”. They seem to be leaving out some details.
I have no doubt.
No pronouns.
Might be conspiracy. Might be a growing list of full-on cowardly cops.

They probably meant “They” officer, a ? girl.
Or maybe not.
Tells you something... I would put money on ‘the officer’ being a woman. This idiocy of pronouns certainly has opened up the door for some additional creativity on how to obfuscate, hasn’t it...
“Trump was speaking just after 6 p.m. Tuesday,” Get the facts correct.
If this is true, that police officer needs to be charged with murder and attempted murder for his failure to act while cloaked in the authority of his jurisdiction
..aim and loosed eight shots...
who writes this garbage.
Let’s see, clot shot, conspiracy theory now true.
Coven man made conspiracy theory, now true.
Covid lock downs conspiracy theory, now true.
Pee dossier conspiracy theory, now true.
Trump trials in New York conspiracy theory, now true.
Trump trials in Georgia, conspiracy theory, now true.
Biden a vegetable since 2020 conspiracy theory, now true.
Hunter Biden laptop conspiracy theory, now true
Now this assassination attempt, gee I just can’t understand why anyone would be suspect of our government and democrat leaders at this point, for Pete’s sake people open your eyes! How much more does a person need to see????

“...at them...”
A woman officer.
Why didn’t the officer approach with hist weapon drawn?
I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’m guessing the cop did not have his (her) gun drawn when they got to the roof. If so, that put them at a real disadvantage.
The bravery of a frightened mouse, the skill and professionalism of the uvalde cops, they are... Butler PA PD!
Every LEO present should be fired.
It should never surprise us to hear about the cops that slink away from confrontation. If untrained, unprepared, and the adrenaline is in retreat, forget it. That aside, the fact that the cop approached the alleged assassin indicates no information was adequately relayed to, or received by, the SS in a timely manner. Something fundamentally egregious transpired.
It could just mean they don’t know.
