    ^^^Apparently/unfortunately, the cop(s) didn't go to the other side of the building where there was a LADDER in plain sight. DUH!!!!!

    One of the excuses used was lack of communication between local fuzz and Federal fuzz. That's EXTREMELY QUESTIONABLE—surely there's a common or shared frequency that could be used or at minimum monitored by all agencies. A spotter & radio man team on the water tower would have prevented the problem.

    Long ago and far away we had a radio man who talked to the 'eye in the sky' where a plane load of techs sorted info and distributed it as needed. Pretty low tech equipment that coordinated ground pounders, air assets, and artillery.

    Technically we don't know when the ladder got there or if it was the one Crooks allegedly purchased that morning. It could belong to law enforcement. In some of the pictures, they had clearly been up there because the shooter's rifle was about ten feet from him.

    There was a video which hadn't been shown yet newly posted on Fox news today 7/24.

    It was taken from the trees behind the AGR building where the crowd was trying to report the shooter.

    It seemed to show the shooter fired three aimed shots, then five as fast as he could pull the trigger.

    You would think the USSS sniper would have fired after the first shot.

    You would think they would neutralize a sniper who was firing into a crowd, presidential candidate or no presidential candidate.

    Yet apparently they never got around to firing if news reports are to be believed.

    NOT if they'd been told not to look that direction. It's difficult to believe that this level of ineptitude is not intentional. Also consider that those 'dedicated' Secret Service agents may owe their dedication to someone other than DJT.

    What if the counter snipers were 'ordered' to allow the shooter to get off a flurry of shots before making sure he couldn't testify against ??? if captured?

    That's exactly what I think the orders were.

    If that's the case, I think it will eventually come out. May take a while but someone will still the beans.

    I dunno, we're still waiting on the truth about JFK.

    Telling the truth will have the same answer every time.

    Telling lie will have a little bit different answer ever time.

    Easy to figure out what is what on this one.

    It was an inside job

    Mobuck  - Dude, cops often do mag dumps on "perps". Hell they reload and dump that, too. After the fact they have round counts in the 70s with three cops on the scene.

    As for the counter sniper slow to return fire maybe the shooter was hard to find on that near flat "sloped" roof?

    They get into dude's phone to see who was communicating with him? Did they scrub cheadle's instructions to the shooter?

    The newest video(exclusive to fox news) shows the perspective of one of the wounded. You can CLEARLY see the shooter running across the roof THREE minutes BEFORE the shooting. No way in H E double hockey sticks that the SS snipers couldnt see that too!
