More than one shooter. This is a short watch but if you want to speed ahead go to the 12m mark.

SS now admitting they denied the Trump protection detail requests for additional help but worked with local law enforcement to cover the shortage...after first saying this claim was totally false. This is how assassination attempts, and real assassinations occur, just short the security team, mix in local law enforcement thereby complicating communications between the teams, perform a poor advance team evaluation/fail to secure venue, and wait for some nut case to show up. It doesn't have to be some conspiracy, it can simply be incompetence, poor training, and poor performance. In other words, a normal government operation. The team around Trump performed heroically but their assignment planning was irresponsible at best, he was exposed way too long when they were escorting him off the stage and out to his vehicle. How do you protect a 6'2" person with 5'7" protection, like a wise man once said, "heck of a price to pay for being stylish."

Stop with the nonsense.

We already know that there's no way he didn't have help on the inside, but don't start bringing in wild conspiracy theories to bring attention to yourself.

Clickbait for sure

I did not read through 29 pages of details but I have questions for the group here about the incident.
1) I saw several videos that people saw the guy climbing on the roof and even laid down. People were yelling "someone is walking on the roof".
2) How come there was no reaction from SS or law enforcement to take that guy down before he got a chance to fire?
3) Did they have an explaination for this? Don't tell me that they were short hand.

The whole point is trump should have never been on that stage. That's the failure.

The videos I have watched lead me to believe someone could have taken out the shooter from the ground long before he got into a shooting position. I have been part of many tactical ops, and I mean no disrespect, but the crew from Saturday isn't who I would want to protect me. No way Trump should have ever been allowed on stage, I retired two years ago, and we have had the capability for years to communicate on multiple channels in numerous zones, so for me to believe there was no interactive communications between local police and SS means someone or several people in command messed up big time. I heard reporting early on in this investigation that everyone on this detail was operating on a Tactical channel, and that makes sense to me.

so true

You had radios capable of communication with the Oscar channel and your own agency's channels? What department did you work for? I had state of the art communications systems that couldn't do that.

Are you saying your department never supplied department radio to the FEDs in one of these situations or placed one of your officers with their teams? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. The local PD was only working traffic, so if there were local cops as parts of the actual plan, then there had to be more than one department involved and they could share a common channel for sure. All that should have been worked out before hand, how were they supposed to communicate, Smoke Signals or Hand Signals?

I found the analysis pretty interesting. I've heard reports that two counter sniper teams (1 secret service and 1 local) fired at the gunman which could explain the difference in audio. Also, many news outlets stated a counter sniper shot the gunman from 488 yds which does not line up with the counter sniper team seen behind Trump to his right. Hopefully the FBI will clarify and provide the details.

I have listened to nonstop coverage of this assassination attempt, I have heard they were all on a tactical channel, I have heard they were unable to communicate, I have heard the shooter was on the roof for 26 minutes, then 86 seconds, then 20 minutes, he flew a drone, he rode a bicycle, he drove a van, he drove a Hyundai, someone was on the water tower, local police sniper team was inside the building he shot from, then an official said the locals were not in the building...so, we really don't know.

The audio from the Trump microphone sounds different from the one in the field. The one from the field you can hear what sounds like two different rifles, but from Trump's microphone it sounds like one rifle. The field video might sound different between shots because the person filming moves the camera to a different direction during the brief pause. While Trump's mic never moves and thus the sound doesn't change......just my opinion.

I guarantee you the secret service operates on the channels that are way down in the 164-166 range. There were 6 different agencies in the detail. There is a communication hub in place to relay communications across multiple agencies different communications systems. The local agencies should have all operated on a single channel with radios supplied to them. Very few agencies have the hardware capability to provide that. I was fortunate to be be able to but FW was a large agency. What agency did you work for because saying they were all on the same radio channel makes no sense.

What agency did you work for?

After what another law enforcement member went through from someone here, I'll keep my former employer out of this debate, but I worked the DFW area, had the nicest most up to date equipment. Then retired, went back to work in small town Texas where we also had the finest most up to date equipment.
