It’s was a very slight slope. Easy to walk on. WTF is this DEI bitch talking about? How do you not have someone at least patrolling the perimeter of that building if no one is on top? This is beyond bullshite.

It was too dangerous to have someone up there

As someone who has designed and built hundreds of such buildings, that looks like a 2/12 pitch.
I’ve done a lot of them too, and just looking at it, I guessed 1:12 because that’s the standard for most metal buildings. But it could be 2:12. From the angles I’ve seen, it’s not easy to tell.
Either way, it fits the definition of a flat roof. This Cheattle woman is full of shite.

United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle acknowledged in an interview that responsibility for the security failure that led to the attempted assassination of former President Trump ultimately rests with herself.
"The buck stops with me," Cheatle told ABC News on Tuesday morning.
The director acknowledged the incident never should have happened and confirmed that the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, had been identified as a person of interest. But by the time Crooks was located, it was too late to stop his bullets.
"The shooter was actually identified as a potential person of suspicion," she said. "Unfortunately, with the rapid succession of how things unfolded, by the time that individual was eventually located, they were on the rooftop and were able to fire off at the former president."
Cheatle told ABC News her first reaction to the shooting was "shock."
She also said the Secret Service was aware of the security vulnerabilities presented by the building Crooks took a sniper's position on to aim at Trump. However, a decision was made not to place any personnel on the roof.
"That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside."
This is incredulous.
What did securing the building inside do? ZERO.
Surely, there were alternative ways to secure or observe that roof rather than "well, we think it's not safe, so we'll just stay inside the building and hope for the best".
They were able to get up there and remove a body, for crying out loud.

Please link this quote, there is no way this is actually true.

This is a great thread to repaste my post of Erik Prince's quote the other day. You can not blast this enough out there.

My confidence is so shaken in all the federal agencies that they are so incapable of self correction of self reflection of cleaning up their own problems that I don’t know ever get to the bottom of all the things that went wrong in the situation and that’s terrible that makes us feel and smell like Soviet union where it’s new Collection of lies and house of cards and that’s really trouble if you can’t trust your institutions to say OK this is bad and we really screwed up and this is where we screwed up and we’re not gonna do that again. I don’t think any of the federal agencies are capable of that anymore and that is really troubling

The entire top brass has to go.
Posted on 7/16/24 at 9:22 am to IT_Dawg
Too bad the shooter didn't know the sloped roof was too dangerous to be on. Maybe the SS should have put up a sign saying "Danger, sloped roof, gun free zone"
Posted on 7/16/24 at 9:23 am to IT_Dawg
Gimmie a frickin break bitch wonder how many Dems are calling for her resignation behind closed doors, but are afraid to nut up and say it publicly
Posted on 7/16/24 at 9:23 am to IT_Dawg
How difficult would it have been to provide the officers covering the roof with some foam from sofa cushions like the Mexican roofers use?!
Posted on 7/16/24 at 9:24 am to IT_Dawg
Plus that metal roof gets hot she should have added.
Posted on 7/16/24 at 9:24 am to IT_Dawg
One of her female secret agents would have probably fallen off the sloped roof.

This is exactly what we get when you allow Jill Biden to basically hire her lady friend from a soda company instead of having someone with experience like Erik Prince (forner Navy Seal / founder of Blackwater, etc). Hopefully Trump can get competent people into these positions again.

The agents didn't have any trouble standing next to the dead body did they?
We are governed my buffoons.

Maybe this incident is ironically what gives Trump the cover and the mandate to reform some of these agencies

Utter Incompetence VS Elaborate Conspiracy.
Well I guess we know who the winner is at this point.
Guys lets not post anyone on that flatter ranch style, metal building roof because of that slope. Oh, here is a better position, lets put them on that gabled sloped barn with significantly more slope.
How about we put them on both?
Nah, it will be alright.

So it was an OSHA work hazard? 
Posted on 7/16/24 at 9:27 am to IT_Dawg
It was a very low sloped roof Terrible excuse.
Terrible excuse.

I bet you Dan Bongino would have had his arse up there

My goodness, there is barely any slope to that roof. So to secure the safety of SS agents to not place them on an almost flat roof, you put an ex-President and hundreds of innocent people at risk. End result of this incompetence is one dead and 3 wounded including the intended target who only by luck and the grace of God is still alive.
