Yep, that water tower was a prime over watch - No drone surveillance. No personnel on those roof tops themselves is a major security lapse. Almost like the only place for a shooter to go was (purposely) left open - with public reports of a ladder against the wall to climb up on and not blocked off.
Wonder how much the SS detail deliberately being under manned and under-resourced also played into this deniable culpability.
coinky doink the director of the SS is a dei hire kimberly cheatle, a biden appointee and former head of global security for pepsico as well as receiving a vip welcome at the recent 2024 DNC convention in Chicago.
No wonder trump's teams repeated requests for more SS protection (as well as rfk's) got denied.
Clearly understaffed , seeing as they needed the State police to provide the sniper team (as they didnt have their own) and also had the local HRT/ SWAT leo's to bulk out the inner protection force.
i recall when he was President he was rolling 20 cars deep with full SS assets out his butt. Now it's a skeleton crew of about 12-15 at most actual Ss agents, with three too many being dei woman.

If you look closely at the back of the counter-sniper's uniform it says "Secret Service" under the Police badge. Whether they were USSS or contractors remains to be seen.
Yep, I believe they were still Local State police - but under contract to the Secret Service - the small patch on the back a way of identifying to other Local LEO's for why they are on the roof etc and likely several other reasons too - otherwise it would have just been Secret service, imo.
