Local cop who interrupted Thomas Crooks but failed to stop him is a hero who saved Trump’s life, sheriff says

@raphjd "Hero" is over the top, nuts.
But here is what I read.
-
he didn't see ladder that shooter climbed
-
mate boosted him up, to peek his head over roof's edge, hung on edge by his hands
-
he sees shooter
-
shooter sees his head, points rifle at him
-
he drops to ground
-
warns other LE & USSS on "blanket tactical channel"
-
because of that, shooter may have shot 'too soon' or felt rushed
Did those 2 officer(s) do enough? Prob not. That's where you're right.
But again we come back to: Wtf was USSS site commander doing?
USSS got notified. Why wasn't President Trump instantly shielded & whisked off stage?

@raphjd "Secret Service was informed of Crooks 27 minutes before shots were fired in Butler, PA, never told Trump to get off stage"
"Shortly before shots were fired, a USSS counter sniper saw local law enforcement running toward the AGR building with their guns drawn, but he did not alert former President Trump’s protective detail to remove him from the stage."
Again it comes back to: wtf was USSS????
