Whistleblowers have told Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley that a law enforcement officer who was assigned to monitor the roof of a building that would-be former President Trump assassin Thomas Crooks fired from on July 13 left their post because it was "too hot."
Crooks, 20, fired multiple rounds from the roof of American Glass Research (AGR) Building 6, which was outside the rally perimeter but had a direct line of sight to where the former president was standing on stage at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
[snip] Hawley said. "And what this whistleblower tells my office is that there was at least one law enforcement person assigned to the roof

I'm sure there is a document somewhere that details the shift times, places, and people who are supposed to be there. Unless of course, Biden's dog, Commander, ate it.

TQ and others confused about the layout and direction of shots. Please look closely at the overhead photo.
Note the center bleacher, the podium is directly in front of this bleacher. The roof where the shots came from is the flatter, lower roof to the left edge of the photo. You can just make out the roof of the hallway between it and the taller building. Apparently the shooter climbed up there. The shots were from the 'left' end of the roof, on the far side of the ridgeline, away from the rally.
If you line that up with the podium, shots that miss will pass along the front of the center bleacher, and hit
the end of the right (photo right, Trump's left) angled bleacher nearest the center bleacher. Two people wounded there. The man who was killed was in the extreme left side of the left angled bleacher (photo left, Trump's right). Trump had turned to his right, looking at the huge screen showing the chart of
immigration, which turned his head from a sideways view when looking at the crowd, to a view looking nearly towards the shooter's position, just as the shot was fired. So it went past Trump, nicking his ear, and hit someone in the right side bleachers.
I am guessing that the shot which killed the fireman may have been taken just as the shooter was hit, and jerked to the shooter's left, into the edge of the left (Trump's right) bleachers.

Re #1. Perhaps Biden ate it. These days, who knows?

But I thought it was because of the dangerous slope.

The LEO who left his/her post felt it was unnecessary to be there? Since that seems to be the case, I feel that it's unnecessary for that LEO to keep his/her job. If the individual was given an order to be in that position then he/she was obligated to be there no matter how high the temperature. The LEO must be fired for not following orders.

#2 - Thank you for the clarification. I'm beginning to "get the picture" now.
A well run event starts at the top, and that would be the Secret Service and Homeland Security. I don't blame the local law enforcement. They were looking to the "Feds" for guidance and the professionalism to follow in an such a high-profile event. It is obvious now they received nothing on that score. Instead they were set-up to be the patsies; the rubes to blame all the planned "failures" upon.

Your post is your post...unless or until relieved. It wasn't so hot that 20,000 other people all decided to head for AC.
People that were not being PAID to be there, now sworn to do their utmost of duty while there.
ya know....wearin those sooper badaxe black onblackonblack tacticool ninja suits, with kevlar vests, ain't so cool on hot days in the bright sun. There are "Reasons" military, construction, outdoorsmen have for millennia worn light colored earth tones, blues or greys. It also keeps you from being "Obvious", The bright colors and all black uniforms were always used for intimidation factor, whether the Nazis with their black , tailored SS units, or the Redcoats and other brightly garbed elite euro soldiers...where "Uniformly trained , elite, paid, professional warriors" were intimidating to peasants with pitchforks.

Oh, the (1/12) Slope made the roof Too Dangerous!
Oh, it was HOT outside!
..... yeah, and Epstein hung himself in his jail cell, all the security cameras in the maximum security jail happened to be broken, and all the guards just happened to fall asleep at the same time.
... and that video of the Jan 6th (fake) Pipe Bomber, yes, that video of the person on their cell 'phone.... the computer records of that 'phone making that call at that location.... were all corrupted and unusable.
Oh, and by the way, I've got some nice Oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you.

The “truth” will never be revealed, willingly. This is all part of the effort to “sanitize for their protection…”

They've come up with so many excuses and stories, which simply confirms to me the the government attempted to assassinate Trump.
I hope they realize how many armed Americans are ready to go to war, right now.
If you get Trump, the American People will not stop till we've gotten ALL of you. Wouldn't that answer you Elitist slugs demand for population control? Remember the words of Nathan Hale.

I also noticed that the people on the left of the stand got hit, I figured it was a second shooter, I still think so.

Re #14. Please look at the aerial photo, and read post #2 and look at the picture.
Absolutely no reason to invent a good second shooter. Three shots from that location lines up perfectly for all hits from one location.

I'm glad the head of the PA State Police testified, because the SS was playing pin the tail on the state police, when ultimate responsibility for security rests with the SS. Sadly, our illustrious governor, Josh Shapiro, has not uttered one word in support/defense of his cops.

Actually, this explains something that has bothered me from the get go. In the initial images of the dead shooter on the roof with the cops standing next to the body, there was a very large plastic jug on the roof. In all future copies of that image, the jug has been edited out or the photo cropped so the jug is removed---or the jug itself was removed from the crime scene. Now I know why. The presence of the jug filled with water, would mean that either the shooter hauled that big jug up there OR that police or SS personnel had been assigned to the roof detail & provided with water but left their post.
The water jug was evidence that needed to be eliminated---one way or another. Wouldn't that be tampering with evidence? Gasp. I wonder who might do that?

Local cops may not have a lot of dedication to duty when they are just told "stand here". How will this be verified, one way or the other.
