Here's the scenario: Imagine yourself a couple of hundred yards away from Trump with your rifle. People are pointing and flag down a cop. He approaches you, then.... The scenario ends with the cop walking off.
Okay, so what could possibly go in the dot dot dot?
Random guy who is not police or ss, on a roof, with a rifle, points it at cop. Cop should instant shoot him and radio to everyone to stop the event immediately.
If this video is true (Police climbs onto roof before shooting), that's fucking insane. LOL
You know what's flat-ass baffling? WTF could he have possibly said to the cop to get him to leave?
He's reported to have pointed his rifle at the cop (which alone seems awkward because he was prone and the cop would have been walking across the roof from behind him), so he says, "Beat it, flatfoot, I've got work to do", and the cop just strolls off?
Even if it developed into a stand-off, the cop has to think, "He's either gonna shoot me or shoot the President and innocent people in the crowd. I've got a sidearm, body armor, a tac radio, and someone is sure to see us here pretty quick. I can be a hero or at least go down as one taking out this soiboi, but maybe I'll just leave and act like I was never here."
Any possible scenario is totally nonsensical. All I can think is that a Secret Service mole overwatching the op saw the cop, got on the tac radio, and told him to GTFO.
In any case, for the record here's a link to a written version of the story, and that links in turn to the original reporting buried deep in a much longer story from AP:
It's just too bizarre. AP originally reported it, probably some stringer who actually, you know, wants to report the news. But watch it drop out of the narrative--way too inexplicable.
I mean, if I was some paid spokeshole and someone asked me about it, as creative as I think I am I'd just say, "Ummmm... pass. Next question."
By the time he went to call in the credible threat it was likely over. In my opinion a lot of the commenters under estimate the adrenaline and speed of events.
Good point. Self preservation is a strong motivator and not all cops are loyalists but yeah he should have intervened. Maybe he was calling for back up. Training probably differs between beat cops and ss

Like the guard who saw the las Vegas shooter.
We will see this cop do an interview on Ellen and then never to be seen again.

Local Police Officer Confronted Would-Be Trump Assassin on Roof But Then Retreated – Shooter Proceeded to Try to Kill Trump (The Gateway Pundit 7/14/2024)
WTF!? This is the literal story now? His butt buddy ran up there but let him get a few shots off before effing him n his A??

Do you think cops in Pennsylvania don't have radios on their person? They should probably think about getting some, right?
I'm thinking these events were seconds apart. He leaves and then the shooting. If they were further apart then there's competency questions sure
No questions about that, huh? Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I suppose we differ there.

lol, what threat does a guy lying flat looking the other way have?
Cop would have all the positional advantage, Crooks would have to spin himself around on his belly 180 or 90 degrees for a good shot on the cop.
The competancy questions start at how that guy was allowed up there in the first place.
They should have had someone in the roof of that building or at a minimum patrolling the perimeter
