2) Notice that the media still isn’t reporting the cowardly officers’s picture or name? Often the NY Post intentionally makes these omissions when the person is a member of the “protected class.”
That’s not much of a defense.
He would have run like a coward too. They should string him up for like that texican cop that let all the kids die
Why didn’t the officer go up there with gun already drawn? I would have.
Agree
So I guess the local cop couldn’t have alerted the rest?
Wait. What? You mean to tell that if some nut pointed a rifle at you you wouldn’t retreat? What crap.
A vast majority of LEOs are not on our side when the SHTF. That should have been obviously quite some time ago.
There are things now a days called radios. Do you think he could have called it in to get the people on the ground to protect the president?
The classic stand down coward tactics.
For a lot of cops, the only real goal each day is to live to go home at the end. Which is understandable.
Still some of us expect Serving and Protecting to also be priorities. But these don’t always make the list.
So Butler PA police are cowards who will run away and fail to defend the public. I hope the citizens there are paying attention.
My instinctive reaction, though, would have been to immediately unholster my firearm and fire off 2-3 shots into the air ASAP, as a way of sounding a general alert that the guy on the roof really is a threat. Maybe that's not proper police protocol (I am not LEO), but that's my gut response one what I would have done in that situation. At the very least it would have drawn attention and maybe kicked some reactions into effect that would have helped.
I bet those coward sheriffs still expect the military to take a bullet for them though, disgusting!
I tend to agree, retreat for the moment when a gun is pointed at you. What we don’t know is what followed.
You can all sound brave, BUT YOU WEREN’T THERE.
I assume the officer was in uniform (somebody else today said he was in civilian clothes). But, if he was being hoisted up by another officer, both must have been in uniform.
If the shooter clearly turned his rifle on the officer beginning to climb onto the roof, then wouldn’t that be sufficient justification for the police sniper to take him down at that instant?
Here is the biggest unanswered question: When the officers were notified of the guy with a rifle on top of the unsecured rooftop, why was Trump not immediately shielded? This should have been immediately answered. I don’t recall an answer. The longer this goes on the more they will be working on b.s. to cover up what actually took place.
Needed someone brave, like Kyle Rittenhouse.
I am not sure I would call a natural survival instinct ‘cowardly’. Its easy to quarter back on this one. Did the cop have a vest on, was he/she ready to be looking down the barrel of a rifle? Not all cops, actually only a few, train enough to have natural instincts to run into a line of fire. That takes a lot of stress inoculation to get to that point, especially if your hands are tied up trying to climb over a building ledge rather than free to draw your own firearm.
The vast majority of Police today are “ crime recorders”, not crime stoppers. Everything today requires a Police report from traffic tickets, car accidents, to burglaries, to assaults, to thefts to insurance reports, etc…..
then you BOTH need to go. loser
Was he standing on the shoulders of another officer with both hands on the roof just looking around or was he in a pull-up position needing both hands and arms to do anything?
