security blamed local law enforcement, area was under thier control,
local law enforcement said we were instructed to do traffic control only.
we all saw the video of locals on the ground around the area pointing and saying there is someone on the roof with a rifle, yet they allowed trump to keep on speaking.
We know now sniper’s were aware of him and did nothing until he got the shots off.
This is deliberate
My take is the Secret Service only covered the inner area around Trump and local law enforcement covered the outer area including the shooter’s location. As such that would put local policies and ROE in effect. In many jurisdictions snipers must wait for authorization and direction to fire on a perp. No so for Secret Service. By putting the firing location under local law enforcement then assigning many police officers to “traffic control” left the venue open to rifle fire.
