RealClearPolitics White House and National Political Correspondent Susan Crabtree dropped an important report on the failure of the Secret Service to protect President Donald J. Trump and those around him during last week’s Pennsylvania rally.
According to Crabtree, the potential lack of drones and the “DEI” protocols at the Secret Service contributed to the failure, but the biggest reason Trump’s life was put in danger is because rules of engagement prohibit snipers from engaging until the assassin shoots first.

President Trump upon taking office should bring in an outside expert to evaluate the SS personnel with a target of firing 50% of them. Not moving them to another position in the federal government, just flat-out firing them.
Hey. Hey. Hey! Just because someone brings a rifle to a political rally, climbs onto a roof and then points his rifle at a political figure, that doesn’t mean he was going to shoot him. C’mon, man!
No matter how good a shot, shooting to disable is very difficult. It's like the old Westerns where a cowboy shot the gun out of a villains hand.
Even if you are great at shooting, there are so many factors making disabling shots very unlikely: Wind, temperature, muscle micromovements, even the rotation of Earth can factor in... a disabling shot could easily become a fatal one.
If true they should all be tried for attempted murder!
Assuming this is true, I can think of only one reason (not counting SS inside job). If, as the SS claims, the roof was the responsibility of local law enforcement, the SS snipers were not 100% sure the person was not part of that local LE.
From the article...“You want to take a shot then find out the guy was holding a telescope?”
Better safe than sorry, ban telescopes then.
“Okay, so don’t open fire. Can you at least warn the potential victim so he can get out of the way?”
************
That’s bad enough but also consider that it took the SS nearly 2 minutes to remove him to safety in the awaiting vehicle. That’s a long time to leave someone out there. It looked like a Chinese fire drill.
Once the cop confronted the person on the roof and backed down, Trump’s speech should have been delayed till the man was taken into custody.
Solipsism
Structurally, and definitely an INSIDE JOB.
We are at war, my FRiends.
It was pretty obvious the snipers were told to stand down. If not, only the shooter would have died. I called it first. I said the snipers could not shoot unless they heard shots
No that was the FBI giving the stand down orders to the person in charge of the sniper team. This reeks to high heaven …INSIDE JOB! And don’t think they’ve finished doing the job. Lawfare and FJB were failing and the only option they had left was to assassinate Trump. We are not surprised we knew the FBI the CIA and the DOJ which nobody trust anymore, would try something this desperate. Thank you Jesus that it failed. But unfortunately they’re not done they are gonna go after Trump but not his person they’re gonna go after his plane. They’re going to sabotage his plane when Trump is in it and send it crashing to the ground. That is our next fear. Nothing nothing will stop the evil and hatred these people have for Trump. I’ve been telling everybody you can’t remove evil from Satan can’t be done. It is so easy to unscrew some screws on the wings of the plane or other things they can sabotage. So Trump better employ professional loyal mechanics money can buy because the evil swamp is not finished with him yet.
“the SS snipers were not 100% sure the person was not part of that local LE”

Two snipers with powerful scopes couldn’t tell this guy didn’t fit the image of someone in LE? Those scopes are so powerful they could tell the color of his eyes.

@charliekirk11If these were Secret Service snipers then why did their kit say “Police”?
Perhaps ex-Presidents and Presidents have different rules of engagement.
IF this is indeed the case, then the head of the s.s. just set President Trump up for death.
Imprison the head of the s.s. and all involved
Wow. The head of the Secret Service had better resign before she testifies before the House Congressional Committee.
That’s total BS but one of the snipers is saying the FBI were in their earbuds saying don’t shoot.
The ROE should be ... you point ANY weapon at the President, you are going to be killed, regardless of who is the President.
