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.

Have they ever actually identified the weapon/caliber that was used?
One thing everyone should remember is this: Rules of Engagement are written by lawyers whose objective is to limit legal consequences not the protection of individuals.
Looks more like that as more information comes out.
The SS never gave an order to shoot.
OMG!! What a GREAT POINT!! Our once revered SS is now TOTALLY CORRUPT, INEPT DEI HIRES!
Good lord. I just timed it, it was basically two full minutes before he was in the limo. And then another 20 seconds for the limo to go.
Complete Chinese fire drill.
If this is true it’s the retard death rule that completely contradicts their entire purpose.
Why not? Same democrat ROE that prevented a Marine sniper from taking out the bomber at the Kabul airport.
based on the quick killing of the attempted assassination, didn’t they know his location
“The issue is, it puts the onus of deciding what is an actual firearm, on a Secret Service sniper. The chance of a mistake is too great.”
*************
BS. With scopes that incredibly powerful the chance of a mistake is practically non-existant. Plus its pretty obvious that snipers should be made aware of the locations of other snipers on the team.

Mine as well (turned 70). The security failure definitely took some fun out of the day. Sad for the loss of life, thankful for Prez Trump’s survival.
The Obama Thugocracy shot & murdered a young black woman who backed into the White House gate years ago.
Dan Bongino says the normal area of SS responsibility is within 1000 yards of the protectee.
Who changed that protocol specifically for this event?
Once was told by a government official ….. Holding power means we get to make it up as we go along holding power.
THIS!!!
PLUS, the SUBURBAN COULDN”T MOVE BECAUSE THEY WERE BLOCKED IN!!!!! WHAT IF SECONDS COUNTED??? THE SS IS DISGUSTING!!!
I was responding to 'when the cop confronted him on the roof,' but, yes, Crooks was in the sniper's cross hair already. At least, it sure does look that way.
Baloney, that sniper was using a scope. He was watching him from 25 yards away at most, clearly seeing an AR-15 in his hands. Anyone creeping up towards a Presidential candidate with a rifle in their hands, on a rooftop should be shot in sight.
I got it.
My understanding is that security on rooftops are NEVER undercover for the very reason that any other law enforcement needs to be able to quickly identify who is LE and who is not.
