Questions have been raised about why drones were not deployed on the day a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump.
On July 13, a gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire from a rooftop near where Trump was speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He killed one rallygoer and seriously wounded two others before being shot dead by the Secret Service.
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, sustained an injury to his right ear, and made a triumphant appearance at the Republican National Convention days later with a bandage over his wound.
Since the shooting, multiple investigations have been launched—into the crime and how a shooter was able to get so close to the former president. There have been questions about missteps by the Secret Service and growing calls for the agency's director, Kimberly Cheatle, to resign after the attempt on Trump's life. She has said she will not.

The new Secret Service motto: “See something. Say nothing.”
I don’t know, but I saw a video posted of
Spectators yelling, hey, there’s a guy on the roof with a gun…
As shots are fired, you can see a small drone buzz right over the shooter.
Well it looked legit to me.
That makes it worse actually.
It’s the new S/S motto: “See something. Say nothing.”
Drones are incredibly cheap. Why was not all surveilled with drones? The close areas should have had agents on the buildings especially the one most close to Trump of which the assassin tried to kill him. What happened is total incompetence or it was worse I pray it wasn’t something worse.
exactly
there is a manifest of event security proceedures
walk the list line by line and highlight the incomplete tasks, identify the owner and add them to the list of co-conspirators
its the only way
As always, we cannot listen to what “they say”, only observe their actions.
This was a setup for an execution, Lee Harvey Oswald style. In fact, the parallels are amazing.
Has alphabet written all over it.
As to what “they say” - after all this gaslighting, nobody can smoke around me. I am afraid I would spontaneously combust.
The Secret Service let Liberty Valance get shot too? Unbelievable.
You’ve never seen the movie or just a little slow?
Drones with long loiter times are less cheap, but still available, especially ones with wings. If they put up several, then operators become an issue, however they can also be pre-programmed like those light shows, or a simple orbit around a spot at an altitude.

Is great clip
It’s called dry humor. It doesn’t translate well over the internet. yes, I’ve seen the movie, I get TCM.
Scrutiny and questions. Merely words. No action.
I agree, talk talk talk.
There are blurry vids on TikTok that show, at the time of the shooting, a dark figure appear from behind the thing at the top of the dome.
