... I somehow doubt that world leaders are instructed by their security staff to delay their removal from the scene of an active shooting so that they can stop and fist pump the crowd. Call me crazy (or any other number of pleasantries mentioned in this thread), but I suspect immediate and swift removal from the scene is of prime consideration.
Cliff, we can agree to disagree... like civilized people do.
Okay, I will call you clueless.
Who works for who ?
We Americans have freedom. I can tell my Doctor I refuse his recommended treatment.
Would you follow the recommendations of someone who let you get shot ?
This whole thing is starting to sound like one gigantic Cluster Fruitcake.
It should have never happened.
I pretty much agree on the CF. The SS Director finally admitted that the SS failed in their mission and that the bucks stops with her. While I agree and respect the admission, this should make several heads roll. She is the one that denied the assigned SS assigned to DJT additional protection when it was requested. I'm not believing that the decision was totally hers and came from higher authorities (although, I expect that she will take the fall for this failure).

From what I have heard (mostly on the radio) is that much of the failure may lie with the local agencies. Though as you said, it is all her responsibility. She will be on the carpet this coming Monday.
"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," she said.
So tell me: Where were the good guys? The team that eliminated the threat?
Police were stationed inside the building from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks fired shots at Donald Trump, the director of the US Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle says.

The local police deployment inside the building comprised three snipers, who are alleged to have seen Crooks trying to get on the roof, according to sources quoted by CBS News, the BBC's US partner.
Isn't this a great response:

The local sheriff's department referred BBC questions to the state police, which said it was not responsible for the area containing the building.
Great security there guys. Sitting around inside the building having a cold one.
. ' The right wing, where I stood, was exposed to and received all the enemy's fire ... I heard the bullets whistle, and, believe me, there is something charming in the sound. '
Written in the letter's postscript, here 22-year-old George Washington described to his brother of his experience during the opening battle of the French and Indian War. On 28 May Washington and his men defeated a French force on the Pennsylvania frontier. The death of the French leader Joseph Coulon de Villiers, Sieur de Jumonville, during the skirmish led to the 3 July French retaliatory attack on Fort Necessity.

Analyzing the probability, I've determined the presence of divine intervention, a timely gust of wind to deflect the projectile, allowing President D.J.Trump to fulfill his patriotic aspirations. . ' Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable – a most sacred right – a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. ' ~ Abraham Lincoln
Expelling the despot Biden_Joe is a duty of the American People,
' ...It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here, have, thus far, so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. ' ~ Abraham Lincoln - Gettysburg Address
Profound and sober thought of the calamity of civil war that would have ensued had the President been mortally wounded. Biden_Joe has got to go ! What that all means is that the usss was in on the hit, ordered to allow the kid take the pot-shot, it is plainly obvious to anyone with the ability to analyze facts, a Sherlock Holmes moment. ' The usss are all in on a network of secure comms, ' Hitter is climbing the ladder, check, standby one, check, Hitter is bearwalking the roof, check, standby one, Hitter is bearing barrel, wait for fire, check, waiting.. ' ' We'll never know, but, since they were all hand-picked by Biden_Joe's minion, I have simply speculated the dialog, as it is obvious to anyone with the ability to think that it was Biden_Joe who is responsible for the attempt. Treason, Biden_Joe. fjb with an indictment for treason. ' Yeah ! fjb with an indictment for treason. '

I suspect that no local LEOs were up on that roof because that tin gets very hot. DJT was supposed to speak for about 90 minutes (I think), security should have been in place prior to his arrival, during and after he departed at the site. I'm confident no LEOs wanted to get up on that roof and roast. Just my opinion but, I've been on roofs like that many times in the summer months, it's not a nice place to be. The heat coming off that tin would have been excruciating. While that's still not a good reason to not have it secured, why wasn't the ladder location secured. Yeah, this is a real FUBAR.

Some new and interesting new from overnight, including the fact that (just like all of these punks) he told us he was going to do it. He even told us the date he was going to do it.
“Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee, as we asked on July 15 – yes or no?” Mace, who represents South Carolina, asked Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle. “I would have to get back to you,” Cheatle replied. “That is a no. You’re full of sh*t today,” Mace shot back. “You’re just being completely dishonest.”
