The keystone cop line of one cop on the shoulders of another, peeking up onto the roof and having the sniper point the gun at him is a clown show story. Just pure fantasy foolishness.
Since they're inventing the story as they go and therefore leave out any individual facts they may have to later "modify", they've never specified where the Butler Township officer poked his head above the roof line.
If that actually happened (and I think it did), the only clue to where the cops might have been is in the video that shows TMC crawling left-to-right up the dangerous slope of the roof. Just for a second in that video you can see a cop moving left-to-right looking up at the roof, presumably trying to see WTF that guy is doing up there.
Assuming that cop met up with another at the far side of the roof (the side facing the venue) and that's where he got boosted up, then all anyone in the 2nd floor window would have seen is the cop's head poking up briefly. It's impossible to tell, but you may not be able to see the far edge of the roof at all given the intervening peak. Also note that TMC would not have turned, but would be looking over the peak and down the far side of the deadly sloping roof.
And just a quick note about the Secret Service saying that local law enforcement was responsible for securing the AGR building and whatever else. There were other departments involved, but as for Butler Township specifically, the population is just over 13k and there are only 20 people total in the municipal police force. So 10% of their police were trying to get a look up on the roof.
