The police are possily CYA with this statement, or at least the commissioner is.
The only question is then who screwed up, or who turned a blind eye. (incompetence vs. malign intent)
However, there are lots of reports that that building was a local law enforcement staging point. https://is2.4chan.org/pol/1721255537173859.png - ABC News - so take with grain of salt. I tend to believe the tweet from the man more.
Believe the local man. I have connections in that area. Slupe told the feds to get lost when they came asking for the concealed carry holder names in Butler county. He is a yuge 2a supporter and patriot all the way. The BTPD are patriots of a small township of patriots. That police force is not going to go for any of this corruption.
The building or or the adjacent building from the same company had police inside it. There was a counter sniper team from Beaver County which is the next County over inside that building. What they did not have and it seems obvious in retrospect that they should is they did not have police around the perimeter of that building or counter snipers on the roof of that building. Us Secret Service is responsible for the overall plan. So ultimately it's on them.
They might have thought, Oh we have counter snipers here here and here, not fully realizing that they were still giving up the high point in the area. USSS and Butler County counter snipers were inside the secure area where you had to pass through the metal detectors.
The other thing that happened is that roof had a bit of a slope which means if you were on one side of the slope, you are not visible to the USSS counter snipers on the barn behind the stage. None of the counter snipers and a shot to the back of that building. There was a blind spot. That's probably why you see a counter sniper looking through his scope and then look up and look with his eyes. Then come down and shoot.
Essentially the screw-up was they did not have full command of the high points of the area and full visibility to the high points of the area.
This doesn't surprise me in the least. There was a huge screw-up and the feds are covering their own fannies.

I would trust local over feds every time..

Questions I have.
How did police first hear about a gun? Was the guy who spoke to the BBC the first witness.
How did they first hear about a gun on a roof? I'm hearing he might have been up there for 10 minutes.
What info the cop checking out have? Did he know about the gun?
What's the normal decision factors to have the secret service step in early to take Trump off the stage. What info did they have?
What was the exact viewpoint of the teams that fired on the shooter?
Great questions fren.
