The officer who confronted Thomas Matthew Crooks on the roof radioed a "blanket tactical channel" that there was "an individual on the roof with a weapon" before the assassination attempt on President Trump.

Two officers went to the lowest point of the building. One officer boosted the other high enough to reach the roof, where he saw the shooter with a weapon.

Crooks turned and pointed his weapon at the officer, who then ducked and fell off the roof.

"The boosting officer and the officer that fell were both on the radio indicating that there was an individual on the roof that did, in fact, have a weapon."

"There was a blanket tactical channel being used. Everyone who was on that tactical channel heard it."

How much time between the radio warning and shots? What does he mean, he doesn’t know? Has he been told not to know?

“ Everyone who was on that tactical channel heard it.”

And so they waited with great anticipation until shots rang out over and over and over again before they did anything

I believe he sent the signal.

That does not mean it was received.

Jamming by FBI, CIA and/or State Police moles who knew the frequencies to jam.

Proof of a conspiracy.

That is a major part of what they are hiding.

See post 5.

The guilty parties sabotaged communications.

There is no way the Secret Service folks on stage received that broadcast.

Zero chance.

Those radio transmissions should be archived somewhere, so it shouldn’t be too hard to verify if true, unless “they” already disappeared them.

Did law enforcement make sure they read the suspect his Miranda rights? /S

One source on TV said the cop had the right to simply shoot someone deemed as an emerging armed threat, without clearing tactical permission from Secret Service.

They were probably looking for the nearest exit so they could run for the hills

I have information that the counter sniper had the shooter in his sights for minutes. He was denied, even after the shooter fired, to respond. He did so anyway, and now is on administrative leave.

Not a joke. Yes, I am aware that this has gone beyond incompetence as an explanation.

Waited?? The videos of the SS sharp shooters behind Trump looked as though they had the assassin in their sights and allowed him to shoot first.

Waited? No- let it happen...

Yep! And President Trump should have been IMMEDIATELY protected is situ and then immediately taken offstage.

From a guy who formerly couldn’t shoot straight to the Secret Service who can’t seem to get their narrative straight.

It seems like they keep coming up with stuff to see what will stick.

Massive incompetence or massive cove....

Now, wh was in command and why didn’t they immediately get Trump to a safe location?

Makes sense. It happens all the time in their every day duties.

They decided the kid with a rifle sneaking up to kill Trump didn’t look Iranian enough to be a threat

Where was Trump’s campaign staff? Didn’t they see that a lot of things seemed screwy? No agent/police person took charge.
