OK, don't go on the roof because you never deconflicted and are afraid of interfering with the USSS CST. Got it. Then what are you doing when a fellow LEO, presumably from your own agency or at least a neighboring agency, is outside of the building you're currently in reporting an unusual person on the fucking roof? Absolutely none of this makes sense. From what I can tell the CS team in that building was state police. The cop that took a picture of him 26 minutes before the shooting was a local town cop. I can only surmise the agency to agency communication is super poor and the briefings about who is supposed to be where is not communicated all that well. The town cop probably had no idea there was a CS team sitting inside or got briefed at 0500 at was half asleep. I can easily also see the SS CS team being told the state police wouldn't be on the roof but after shots fired taking longer than normal to ensure they wouldn't brain a cop who ended up there anyway. Changing plans can create confusion at the moment you're about to take someone's life. I can buy most of that, but if there's no organic interagency communication available, you're telling me they don't have an operations center or command post where communications are funneled and then passed down to personnel who might be in the area or need to respond? I haven't seen a single picture of any type of command post.

But this seems to be more of a local to PA LE failure than SS as it stands right now. More info will come out and hopefully ALL of the radio logs are safely intact. That will tell the true tale of who was made aware of what and when. I wasn’t suggesting a single freq with everyone listening to every radio message throughout the entire event. For an event like this, I would imagine you’d have CST on one net, ground guys on another (or multiple, depending on differing assignments/needs/responsibilities). State and local LE obviously on their own nets if interagency comms don’t exist (which is certainly believable). At that point, why would you not have a command post with, at minimum, liaisons and “controllers” who have the capability to monitor their own nets and relay information in a timely manner to the people who need it? Something like the modern ICS, while maybe not directly applicable, is built to deal with issues like this and ensure maximum unity of effort. Why is there apparently no C2 when dealing with something as serious as protecting a former President and Presidential candidate. This is just serious fucking incompetence for these problems to exist in the first place. |

Bullshit. Unless his parents were Trump supporters...this kid was a liberal fuckhead. Which is why I said family. He clearly donated to a progressive PAC through ActBlue. |

There are a lot of different competitive youth shooting sports groups. So I have no clue which organization that HS might be using. The one I work with is most likely the most common in Texas, and possibly the most common in the US - that said, we do not focus on competition. But anyway - most of the ones I know of are not necessarily competitive team sports. Most are competitive individual sports. If you want to be part of the club, you sign up, show up, and practice. Sometimes you might have to qualify to compete at a specific tournament, or make a team for a specific tournament - but meanwhile you practice as part of the club.
Just a small second thing. Most youth shooting groups will be using target 22's (if they are not restricted to air rifles only). Anschultz yes - budget DPMS or Bushmasters, LOL... Add to that, the anti-black rifle mafia keeps evil black rifles out of most youth shooting organizations. They preach the optics look too bad. Might piss me off a bit, but if the kids are competing with AR15's, it is at adult shoots. I don't go to enough adult shoots to joke about people competing at them with budget rifles. --- Conservative Parents can still have moon bat kids. You try your best to raise them, but when their peers are hard left - you are talking to deaf ears. |

What a total fucking joke. Just want a shit show fucking joke.
That's about all I can say without breaking coc. And yet did conservatives burn down the country? High ranking important gov jobs go to diversity hires. Men pretending they women. I watched this country fucking crumble in under 15 years...fucking sad. Double standards from a state run media, constant propaganda. State run alphabet religion. They all get to burn the country when they aren't happy ....when we walk thru the capital it's insurrection. 8 years of "trump is Hitler" but it's trumps fault because he pumped his fist. Gtfo Jesus is the last hope. Yeah I'll continue to vote, and I'll still die for this country, but for fuck sake. |

So basically cliff notes....the most WTF
•••no one saw him initially get on the roof(with rifle bag), he knew about the ladder. •••He was reported to be climbing on top of a roof(cops inside), was caught by local PD, nothing reported immediately •••USSS sniper team sees perp for ~3 min and doesn't know if it's local PD with a long gun, no comms to confirm, so stand-by •••too late. shots fired. Tinfoil'd here and starting to believe this would have to be planned for everything to be in favor for this shooter. |

If it was part of the plan that they were supposed to be on the roof they really should have been on the roof.
