Snipers INSIDE building used by failed Trump assassin did NOTHING to stop the attack, says local cop

A local law enforcement officer with "direct knowledge" of the situation told CBS News anchor Anna Schecter this week that not one, not two, but three snipers from Beaver County, Penn., were present inside the building where shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks reportedly tried to assassinate Donald Trump. One of the snipers who was stationed on the second floor of the American Glass Research building saw Crooks standing outside and looking up at the roof before climbing to the top to do the deed. Crooks reportedly walked away, returned, and "whipped out his phone" after the sniper snapped a couple pictures of him. Crooks then proceeded to take out a rangefinder, prompting the sniper to radio a command post. Crooks disappeared after that only to return a third time with a backpack in tow, prompting the snipers to call the command post a second time to report what they saw. By the time local law enforcement arrived on the scene for backup, Crooks had already climbed to the top of the building where he positioned himself behind the view of the snipers inside the building. "Two other officers who heard the sniper's call tried to get onto the roof," CBS News reported, "but by that time, a Secret Service sniper had already killed Crooks," according to the officer on scene.

What really happened in Butler?

Take note of the fact that local law enforcement snipers had their eyes on Crooks the entire time, having taken pictures of him and even notifying their command post of his movements. And yet they did nothing about it, allowing Crooks to shoot at Trump, "at which point Secret Service snipers returned fire and killed him," to quote one media source. It almost seems as though Beaver County's police officers were told to stand down while Crooks positioned himself and opened fire. Then and only then did anyone intervene, and at that point it was federal Secret Service rather than the snipers who were inside the building to keep an eye on the situation. The blame game has since commenced with Secret Service blaming local law enforcement in Butler for the fiasco, and vice versa. Neither group is willing to admit that it dropped the ball in keeping the rally orderly and shooting-free. "There was [sic] local police in that building," commented Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle, a close friend of the Biden Crime Family. "There was [sic] local police in the area that were responsible for the outer perimeter of the building." A former Secret Service agent spoke out against Cheatle for saying this, arguing that Secret Service "is responsible for everything, not just the inner perimeter." "They should make sure all of this is covered," the former agent added. "Officers inside a building: that's not mitigating a high-ground vulnerability. Patrick Yoes, national president of the Fraternal Order of Police, argued back that none of this is the snipers' fault even though they were stationed inside the building to protect the former president. "Whatever happened in Butler, this was not a failure of the local, state or federal officers on the ground who responded to the shots fired at former President Trump," Yoes said. "They acted heroically and put their lives on the line to protect everyone at the event and we must recognize that." "This is a failure at the management or command level who failed to secure an obvious weakness in the security of this event."
