Not our fault. Local police fault.

I don't see this device as useful at all in a crowd full of people with cellphone cameras. (It confirms that yes, there are thousands of cameras everywhere). I would also question it's viability against Killflash or similar.

Interesting of articles. #1 Obviously the SS was in charge of security... so it's absurd to blame local LEOs, #2 Dallas Alexander is far more trained and experienced than most and I agree with him 100%. The 20 year old loser didn't make the security for the event stand down. He had help.

#3. We experienced a coup in 2020. That Coup was abetted by Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. This assassination attempt was a Coup #2. Troy Carter of Louisiana, Barbara Lee of California, Frederica Wilson of Florida, Yvette Clarke of New York, Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey, Jasmine Crockett of Texas, Joyce Beatty of Ohio, and Steve Cohen of Tennessee should all be investigated as conspirators in the assassination attempt.

"More video has surfaced showing people yelling at the police and Secret Service trying to get them to stop the assassination attempt of President Trump.

We may need to come to terms with the fact that the rank-and-file police and agents were in on this too."

It gets beyond ridiculous. Local police used the AGR building and ares for staging. I heard police encountered the shooter about 30 minutes before shot and followed but lost him. Just how did he get on the roof. Jesse Watters offered maybe he was carrying a rifle and a ladder. Some talented political cartoonist should draw the shooter asking a cop "Where's the best place to put my ladder?"

Report: Secret Service Identified Rooftop as a Potential Vulnerability Days Before Rally
“Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof,” one of the sources, a former senior Secret Service agent who was familiar with the planning, told NBC News.
Both the former senior Secret Service official and Goldinger said Secret Service is ultimately responsible for securing areas outside the venue.
We'll see who takes blame for this

FWIW, Infowars is now reporting that the Secret Service stood down for at least 26 minutes while the assassin was on the roof with a rifle: 26 Minute Stand-Down During Trump Assassination Attempt

Breitbart: Reports: Police Were Stationed Below Trump Shooter, Who Was Allegedly Spotted Nearly 30 Minutes Before
A local police counter-sniper team was stationed inside the building that Thomas Crooks crawled on top of to fire at and nearly kill former President Donald Trump
According to the outlet, an officer from the Butler Township Police had climbed on a fellow officer’s shoulders to check out the roof of the building moments before the shooting, but backed away after Crooks pointed the rifle at him.
A Butler City Police Department dispatcher told the Washington Post that the Pennsylvania State Police was in charge of securing the building, but the state police did not respond to a request by the newspaper for comment.
The source also suggested a “guy with a weapons case” was reported to local police, but it is not clear whether that is Crooks, and who had reported him. The source also alleged the Secret Service sniper who killed Crooks did not take the shot immediately at Crooks because he knew the local sniper team was supposed to be on that roof, and he had to “deconflict.”

“Complete _______ show and failure,” the source wrote in the text.

Another shocking report from local news station WPIX Channel 11 News said law enforcement spotted Crooks on the roof nearly 30 minutes before he fired at Trump

Secret Service director Kim Cheatle, good friend of Jill Biden ... didn't post snipers on the roof where Trump was shot at because it was a sloped roof and she was afraid someone might slip and fall... and so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building from the inside
But the SS counter sniper team that shot the assassin was on a sloped roof that day. Her statement clearly conflicts with reality. Kim Cheatle just established herself as a prime suspect in the murder of Mr. Corey D. Comperatore and the attempt on President Trump.

She needs to step down immediately or else be fired for incompetence. If the buck stops with her, this she should no longer have a job.

This suggests that Kimberly Cheatle and the Biden's have some additional top cover:

Impeached Security Chief Mayorkas: 100% Confidence in Secret Service Chief
I have 100 percent confidence in the United States Secret Service. And what you saw on stage on Saturday, with respect to individuals putting their own lives at risk for the protection of another, is exactly what the American public should see every single day. It is what I indeed do [see].
Cheatle was appointed by President Joe Biden in August 2022, but her agency is part of Mayorkas’s vast department.
