Yeah I totally agree with this theory and have from the outset. By disturbing Crooks that cop changed what could have been a calm, focused, unhurried shot from a prepared stance, to a hasty shot from a hasty stance by a shooter who was probably very nervous.
I was also very annoyed at people who tried to blame these two guys. What was he supposed to do exactly as he faced a rifle at point blank range with no hands free? He did the right thing - dropped to the floor and called it into the radio net urgently with as much detail as possible. The guy is the hero of the hour.
I heard about that, and the local chief of police defended him for getting down from the roof instead of getting shot. But NOWHERE did I hear that he reported this until after Trump was shot.
He should have gotten down and started hollering "GUN!" or "SHOOTER ON THIS ROOF!" as loudly as possible! He didn't.
He should have fired, but at least someone DID fire, that's what counts; and killed Crooks. It does appear that Crooks knew he had been spotted. Had that bullet still killed Trump, it wouldn't have mattered if he knew he had been spotted or not. It was a great piece of luck.
I agree but the initial comments from many almost made the cop out to be a coward. I don’t know too many of us that would have gone up to roof in the first place.
Even though that one officer didn't fire, you could give him at least partial credit for saving Trunp's life. The other part is still that slight head turn toward the chart. I still say the chart saved his life. It was divine intervention. It was a great piece of luck, is what it was.
This assumes Crooks was the one who took the shot. There is plenty of evidence to pursue a 3rd shooter theory from the water tower and I think it should be thoroughly investigated. We have eye witness accounts of a person on the water tower, police running to the water tower, audio of 3 distinct gunshots, evidence of an ATF phone on the water tower that appears to zip line down to the back woods where it meets with an SUV that also registers to ATF.
Complicity by secret service seems to be gaining traction vs mere Incompetence by his detail. I’m still flabbergasted that no officers at all were on that roof. Gobsmacked. Coupled with the secret service allowing Trump to go on stage?? Smacks of complicity in the assassination plot. Rocket scientists aren’t even needed to connect those dots. Graduates from the school of Hard Knocks see it clearly.
Yes, the more information comes to light, the more I am trending toward a set up. Not quite ready to accept that ANYONE would hire THIS boy to be the shooter when so many others who are trained could be hired.

I agree! The chart and divine intervention is allowing Trump to continue the fight to save America.

Say what? This is the first time I heard of this!!!! Please email me links about this evidence to my Gmail account.
