“hey u see that guy on the roof with a rifle?”
“yah lol”
“Must be a good guy with a gun.”
To be fair they went to confront him and he pointed his gun at their head. Since those who went to confront weren’t armed, they retreated and sounded an alert, but the dude shot towards diaper don before anyone could do anything about it.

This presidential protection detail has been provided by the Uvalde Sheriff’s Dept.
Agreed, we need to get the Secret Service to clean up their act before we end up risking the life of some better President!
So… I guess cops literally aren’t here to protect anyone.
Whether you’re a kid in school, or a former president. Cops ain’t here for you.
the most interesting thing about all of this is how no one’s really outraged at this colossal police failure, like they usually are. it’s like “oh… they dropped the ball on trump’s security? oh well shit happens whattayagonnado amirite?”
We already know that cops are incompetent. We would just like it if they weren’t also doing the occasional murder.
The texts showed that an officer spotted Crooks occupying a suspicious area more than an hour-and-a-half before the July 13 rally commenced at 6 p.m. Previously, Secret Service officials said Crooks was first spotted an hour before the rally—an amount of time many lawmakers already considered to be egregious at a presidential candidate’s rally.
Other texts obtained by the Times revealed that an officer spotted Crooks using a range finder about 20 minutes before the rally began and snapped photos of him—but didn’t approach him.
The strangest part of this is people expecting cops to do something that might plausibly put them in harms way
Modern cops are almost exclusively all lazy cowards at this point.
