1) A number of folks here doubted the original story on the encounter that I posted yesterday. To them, do you still doubt that the officer retreated?

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.”

Michael Slupe is a FOOL!

Why didn’t they get up on the roof the same way the kid did????

[libertylover]

made contact with Crooks after being hoisted up to the roof by another officer — but fled when the sniper pointed his AR-style assault rifle at the officer. ... “I would have done the same thing, absolutely,” the sheriff said.

So then, what was the purpose of hoisting him up to the roof? And why did the police require assistance to the roof when the shooter did not? And the shooter carried a rifle and not a holstered pistol.

[dragnet2]

Can we hear his radio traffic reporting shooter up on the roof? Or did he neglect to do that too?

[joe fonebone]

Did you bother to read the story?
The officer had BOTH hands on the roof and was pulling himself up when the shooter pointed his rifle at him.
Just to be clear, HE WAS NOT EVEN ON THE ROOF!!!!!
A friggin seal would have let go too....
Armchair cops, ehhhh....

[dfwgator]

That Sheriff’s gotta go.

[VideoDoctor]

The Sheriff himself sounds very much like a CHICKEN$HIT LEO!

America’s finest. Two brave law enforcement officers backing up each other that law enforcement always runs away from someone with a gun who is obviously about to commit a crime.

I can’t believe the Sheriff said this was the right thing to do. Oh, wait, I guess I can believe it.

1. Anyone here ever been to an event similar to this?? A concert, maybe??

This guy had to get into a parking area (I haven’t seen those unattended in years. Then, he had to walk (I’ve never been to one where the walk wasn’t at least a quarter mile at best) through the parking area - WITH A RIFLE, unnoticed??

And it looks to me that the area where the building he climbed up on had lots of people in the area. He got through all of them carrying a rifle too??

Nonsense. Try bringing in a can of Sprite into an event like that. The volunteer ushers will get all S.W.A.T. on you!
This is all nonsense.

It was SET UP to get rid of Donald Trump.

[oil_dude]

HOW FUCKING EMBARRASSING IS THAT OFFICER?

[Captainpaintball]

LAWSUIT. The family of the firefighter who died should the others who were shot should SUE the SS and SUE the cowardly pigs.

[dangus]

So, he retreated, alerted the Secret Service and called for backup, right? No? He just wandered away and kept it to himself?

[Georgia Girl 2]

So he’s a coward too. It doesn’t take much guts to back shoot a guy laying on his stomach. Duck down wait 5 sec and pop up and fire.

[databoss]

Both resign please

[roving]

So that’s two people that have no business of being in law enforcement.

[exinnj]

This brave sheriff is unlikely to be reelected....

[egfowler3]

I hope the families of the victims sue this county’s sheriff’s dept to death. And, note to locals... elect someone brave, or don’t sleep at night.

[dragnet2]

These are the people who directed security at the event.

[DoughtyOne]

Just what rifle was it? Tell us you assholes!

Everything is an AR style weapon these days because they
want to make mileage off every mention of it in the news.

Could have been a 22 long rifle load, and these pussified
bull-shet artists would still name it an AR style weapon.
