I’ve slept on it and i’ve read all the posts from everyone. Many folks think the cop who was hoisted up did his best. I think my hang up with the “hoisting” is that it didnt make sense to pop your head up. Upon further review and a lot of perspective from you guys, I can now see clearly.
-
The cop in the neighborhood had very little info.
-
He went over to check the AGR building not really believing that there would be a shooter on the roof. thats why he popped his head up
-
he ran to the back of the building to pop his head up, saw the shooter, and he ran around the building to see if he could see the shooter from another vantage point. If he sees the shooter from the "rally side " of the building he could potentially take a shot without shooting into the crowd.
-
he couldnt see crooks when he went to the “rally side” but he told people get out of the way-so he was saving people close by
-
i’ve argued that he couldve fired warning shots. I think he thought he was out of bounds. How is he going to come from a neighborhood and then start firing shots (even into the ground)? It’s too big of a risk! he wasnt even on rally detail. He would only fire a shot as a last resort because the crowd might stampede, maybe the guy on the roof was LEO etc. Too many unknowns.
-
if the cop who hoisted up is legit, then we focus on everyone who was on site walking around doing nothing. there is a problem if a guy has to drive up 8 min away and get involved. the rally was crawling with cops.
-
if the hoisted cop story is real, then it brings a large microscope on people who were in and around building 6.
