4 min ago: New Bodycam Footage LEAVES crowd SPEECHLESS! FBI regrets Encounter Of Trump Shooter

You gotta check this out, guys. Newly released body cam footage shows the moment that a police officer is boosted onto the roof where would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Crooks was perched and then finds himself staring down the barrel of the gunman's weapon. Not to mention the chaos that followed as the different officers from the government agencies basically started shouting at each other and pointing fingers. Seriously, guys, you gotta check this out. This is the moment police in Butler, Pennsylvania first confront the gunman who opened fire on former President Trump. An officer is hoisted to the roof, sees the shooter, and falls back to the ground. The body camera audio starts moments later. This close, bro. Do we turn around on me? He's straight up. Heavily armed police race toward the building. Next, next, next, next. Some scaling this plastic shed to reach the roof. The officer who confronted the shooter describing what he saw. He's got a boot bag. He's got magazines. Laying down. Yeah, he's got he's laying down, burned out, boot bag next to him. But watch out because he can come right down on you over there. Those officers scrambling to locate the shooter. This building, he was on top of this building, the left one. Finding him after several tense minutes. By then, the gunman, 20 year old Thomas Crooks, is dead. One in custody, HR building south, rooftop. Another officer's body camera capturing a wounded victim carried from the rally site. When the chaos subsides, some police openly question how the shooter had access to a rooftop 400 feet from the former president. I told them the guy's over here. I wasn't even concerned about it because I thought someone was on the roof. I thought that's how we, they kind of asked, can you lose a guy walking back there? They were inside. Why were we not on the roof? In the building. Why were we not on the roof? I mean, if Fox News didn't specifically push this issue, we wouldn't have even seen this This was a Butler Township police officer climbing onto the roof of AGR International on July 13, the very day of the Donald Trump assassination attempt in the tragic Pennsylvania rally. In the footage, you could see him being lifted up by another officer. He struggles a little bit as he pulls himself up, then takes a quick look over the edge. Suddenly, he drops back to the ground and starts running around the building, alerting other officers and bystanders. What we didn't quite see there was Donald Trump's would-be assassin Thomas Crooks, who had pointed a weapon at him from below. Unfortunately, as the officer tried to duck, he kind of lost his grip. He fell about 8 feet and sprained his ankle. This is all according to Thomas Knight, the Butler Township manager. As we all know, moments after the bodycam footage was taken, Thomas Crooks opened fire at the rally for former President Donald Trump, hitting him in the ear, literally less than an inch away from his brain, and fatally wounding a bystander by the name of Corey Comperatore, a firefighter and father in the area. One of the things that came out most recently was the photo of the gunman, Thomas Crooks, taken down seconds after the first shot. But, see, the people just can't believe this happened in the first place, that an actual assassination attempt almost succeeded on former President Donald Trump. You know what I mean, guys? Plus, if you think about it, the way it happened, you'd think those communication failures were intentional because no trained law enforcement personnel would be that stupid. I mean, law enforcement agencies were not even communicating on the same radio channels. Some say it was a failed attempt by the swamp to take down Donald Trump. Former U.S. Army sniper and current House Rep. Corey Mills talked about it and how big of a failure it was from the was actually when I was with the State Department and was doing this exact thing, which is trying to look at going out with an advanced team, establishing what the perimeter is, and then as a sniper, when you would set up, you'd put together your range sketch or your range fan cards. And that would tell you where your 100, your 200, your 300, and you'd identify the areas of threat that you would be able to mitigate. And if there's multiple targets, you understand that your elevation and windage knob wouldn't have to be messed with, especially at 160 yards. You could literally just look quickly glance and know from the reference point, whether it be a building, whether it be a lone tree, whether it be a parking lot, maybe it's a road. Bottom line is, is that this is massive negligence to the point of me speculating on what was intentional and what wasn't. Wow. When you're doing a site survey and you're seeing this rooftop not that far away, why did it look like the counter sniper team was a little surprised? You know, I can only speculate and we'll have to wait until the investigation comes out that they thought local law enforcement was potentially climbing up onto the roof when they saw a dark object on a light roof. But here's the issue. Wait, wait, wait. You're saying maybe they misconstrued crooks for a friendly, for local law enforcement? It's very possible. I don't want to speculate until the investigation is over. But the bottom line is that if you saw someone climbing onto a roof that you hadn't authorized any clearance on, it's got a clear line of sight. It's exactly adjacent to the shooting where the president was sitting. And you're talking about a pop shot and you've got people yelling and there should have been comms. The minute that that local law enforcement who apparently had a rifle pointed on, there should have been an emergency frequent comms channel that they could have said, we have a shooter on the roof, shooter on the roof. Secret service should have rushed the stage and immediately took the president and took him off and then responded to the counter sniper. The shot should not have gone off. That is the failure in itself. You're supposed to be able to try and, you know, the best security is when you go in and you're actually able to prevent an incident, not react to an incident. Now you heard them guys. It was just a matter of how they reacted to the shooting. It was the fact that Donald Trump was not supposed to have been left on the stage in the first place. Prevention, you know, later in the recently obtained body cam footage, the officer appears to be angry about almost getting shot by the sniper saying how before the mother came up, he popped my head up there like an idiot by himself. Then you can hear him shouting, we're not on the same frequency. So yeah, I'm not going to put the blame on our boys in uniform. I think that they did their best. Really the communication failures in that Donald Trump assassination attempt felt more like something went wrong from higher up the ladder. You might think this, but it really did seem like they didn't have any intentions on protecting Donald Trump. Do you guys agree? Let me know in the comments, guys. Let me know down below. And while you guys are there, don't forget to subscribe to the channel and hit that notification bell. Alright, guys, let's dive back in. I mean, as you saw from the clips, the whole thing was just a mess. There were even Butler Township Police Department officers questioning the Secret Service's decision to leave the roof, located just 130 yards from where Donald Trump was speaking, unoccupied. Let me quote them for you, guys. I f-ing told them, you need to post a guy f-ing over there. One officer is heard saying shortly after the shots rang out, Who? Another officer asks. The Secret Service, the officer responds. I told them that f-ing Tuesday. There was even some confusion about whether the roof was covered when the officer told the cop, I thought you guys were on the other roof. Another officer wondered how in the hell can you lose a guy walking back here if someone is on the roof. So, why isn't anyone talking about this anymore? What we have here, this recently released body cam footage by Butler Township, is the latest crucial piece of publicly available information that attempts to shed light on exactly what transpired that day and what efforts were put in place to stop crooks. But instead, the security breaches that have paved the way for the shooting have been muddied by finger-pointing among various agencies involved at the local, state, and federal levels. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe said video of someone moving along a roof minutes before Donald Trump was shot confirms a failure. Documents that Fox News Digital got from Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who has received them from the Butler County Emergency Services Unit, show the timeline of events leading up to the assassination attempt on former President Trump. The FBI shared that Crooks drove to the rally spot at 11 a.m. on the day of the incident and hung around for about an hour before going back home. He didn't come back until 3.50 p.m. that afternoon. Around 5.10 p.m., which is about 50 minutes before Donald Trump was set to appear, local noticed him for the first time. When Crooks came back, he operated a drone about 200 yards from where Donald Trump was going to be speaking, according to the FBI. They later confirmed that the drone didn't take any photos or videos and no memory card was found inside of it. At 5.30 p.m., local officers took a photo of Crooks and quickly reported it to their command center. Here's a screenshot. They said, Kid learning around building we are in. AGR I believe it is. I did see him with a rangefinder looking toward the stage. FYI. If you want to notify SS snipers to look out, the officer added that he lost sight of him. A follow-up message said, Call it in to command and have a uniform check it out. By 6.12 p.m., that kid would be killed by a counter-sniper after he opened fire on the rally-goers. You see what we're dealing with here, guys? Donald Trump was almost assassinated a month ago. Unfortunately, our media has moved on. Completely forgotten. Voters have not, though. Seriously, we need to talk about this because just a month ago, in the small town of Butler, Pennsylvania, a near-miss assassination attempt almost turned the 2024 presidential race and American history on its head. And why isn't this a bigger deal to mainstream media? Have they been paid off? Does someone want them to not talk about this? The bullet came scarily close to hitting a major political figure, but instead, it tragically killed Cory Kompra-Tor, a husband and father, and injured two others. Now, let me tell you, guys, this event has really stuck with voters. It seems like we've seen decades of politics crammed into the last 30 days, and we're now in a very different political landscape. And if recent events are any sign, well, the next 80 days or so will be full of even more surprises. Remember when Donald Trump got on stage that day? At that time, Joe Biden was still claiming he was the Democratic nominee. But, everything seemed to change when Donald Trump, who only had a close call with a bullet grazing his ear, stood there with blood on his face and his fist raised, chanting, fight, fight, fight. That image went viral. I've seen it end up on t-shirts all over. I remember hearing from somebody say, that's it, it's over. But, nope, it wasn't over yet. In fact, it was far from over. When we look back at this crazy election cycle, historians will probably need a stiff drink to figure out if it was the assassination attempt, not the disastrous debate that pushed Biden out. Because just eight days after Donald Trump was shot, also following a very strong and solid Republican National Convention, the Democrats pulled off a huge switcheroo, putting Vice President Kamala Harris in the running instead. You'd think it was Christmas morning for left-leaning media at the time. They had endless positive stories about Kamala Harris and suddenly had a great reason to shift focus away from the Butler shooting, and the assassination attempt started to fade from the headlines. The Democrats really shifted their tone. They went from calling Trump Hitler, which, by the way, could've been a big part of the reason for that attack in the first place, to what they're now branding a campaign of joy. But really, guys, when you talk to voters, even in the comments section, people are still pretty shaken up. There's this amazed, anxious look in people's eyes as they say how close we were as a country to a total meltdown if Donald Trump would've been assassinated. It's always good news when we dodge a bullet, but we've got to dig deeper than just catching the guy who pulled the trigger, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who we still barely know anything about. We need to tackle the real issue, the toxic political climate filled with hatred and fear. With the Democratic National Convention in Chicago looming, the tension is palpable. The threat of political violence is hovering over the election. As we head toward November, expect a barrage of daily news, gaffes, scandals, new policies, debates. Yet, the assassination attempt is still a dark cloud over it all. July 13, 2024, is one of those where-were-you moments, like when JFK was shot, or the moon landing, or 9-11. Sure, some controversies might soon be forgotten, but the attempt on Donald Trump's life? That one's going to stick. This incident feels like it changed America. We lost a little bit of innocence. Now, this election feels bigger than just policy. It's about whether we can actually live together peacefully. As historians note, as voters head to the polls in November, one image will dominate their memories from this campaign season. It won't be the speeches or the debates, but that moment of crisis that was also Donald Trump's appeal to fight, fight, fight. You know what I mean, guys? Drop a quick yes or no down in the comments, let me know what you think. Also, drop a quick yes if you're in this to fight all the way to November. And hey, if you are, do not miss out on our video on how long Kamala Harris has gone without talking to the press. 20-plus days as of my last count during the production of this video.
