The local law enforcement climed a ladder and had a gunman point a riffle at his face. What would you have him do? The gunman had a highly defensive position. A sniper on the ground 200 yards away might have been far enough away to pick him off that low sloped roof but who positions a sniper off site on the ground just incase a gunman makes it onto a high roof with a low pitch? IF the LEO might have bravely/maybe foolishly hung out just below the edge of the roof until the shooter went into a firing position he might of got a shot at him OR he might have guessed wrong and ended up dead at the bottom of the ladder.... what might you have done differently?
We don't know what the LEO did or didn't do. We know the building wasn't secured, this guy had a solid plan of attack, and Trump wasn't pulled. There is no sauce on the details of the radio comms yet. The sniper physically did not have a target until the shooter got his head up over the ridge of the roof he was on at which point he started shooting and was hit within seconds. There is no sauce showing that the sniper had a clean shot and waited.
He should have had his service weapon in his hands long before getting the sniper’s attention. If the sniper turned with his weapon the wrong way, the policeman has cause to unload on him. He never should have given the sniper room to get a single shot off.
It is impossible to know if the assassin saw him coming or not unless the LEO admits to not having his weapon out upon reaching the top of the ladder. The LEO may have had his weapon out and not known where to aim until his head came crested the edge of the roof and might have been already noticed by the assassin and then immediately he recognized his own situation and ducted back down???
My point is we don't know all these details and it's looking more and more like those really responsible are pushing the "everyone hate the police it's their fault" narrative while the fblie & company bury the truth.
I agree with everything you said about the police - no, recklessly throwing your life away is not the right response imo either. Does TRULY make one wonder, tho, why the sniper wasn't allowed to shoot asap.
Are you saying there was nothing wrong with the local law enforcement personnel retreating from the shooter before he fired?

For starters, not have an unsecured roof with direct line of sight to a VIP.
What would I have him do? Scream into his comms Shooter on the roof!!! Shooter on the roof!!
He didnt. We know this because there was no action by SS until seconds after shots were fired.

Where is the sauce on the sniper not being allowed to shoot? There is a questionable chan post that is most likely a LARP that claimed that.
