The more I look at that video, the stronger my suspicions that the guy was digitally added. Here are 4 details of the guy, at more or less one second intervals. He doesn’t move, and there are several things wrong with him.
In addition to the things I marked in the first picture, his hat is too small. Imagine where it would come to on his forehead without the bill. His sunglasses are too small and don’t seem to have a front part - just the left earpiece. This doesn’t seem to be a well done job. In fact, I’d guess that someone asked a FREE AI generator to make an image of a guy with sunglasses a blue hat and black shirt, facing away from camera to the left, and took the best of maybe a dozen tries.
So, if we accept (even if just for the sake of argument) that this guy has been digitally added, would it be solely to spare us from see Mr. Comperatore get hit?
Or is it to keep us from seeing how he was oriented when he was hit. He was facing either Mr. Trump or the southern display until Mr. Digitally Inserted appeared - basically directly away from “Crooks”.
Dr. Sweetland said that Mr. Comperatore was hit just above the right ear, and “there was brain matter”

The only way this would be compatible with a shooter from Crooks’ position would be if Mr. Comperatore turned in the direction of the main crowd. This seems unlikely, as he was leaning against the railing while videoing - his family wouldn’t be in the direction of the main audience.
If he was turning toward his family, his left side would be exposed. Of course that raises a whole different question of where a bullet could have come from that shot HIM.
I also remember the US House taskforce saying that “apart from a hole in a hat, all the bullets came from the north, toward the AGR complex”, more or less.
Then there’s the matter of the flight of the hat.
Here’s a shot with Mr. Comperatore where you can see the red and the white line on the bunting on the back railing:
Mr. Comperatore is already standing in this picture. You can tell, since almost half of his body is above the railing. So he’s not going to gain much height in the next 3 seconds. And yet this hat somehow goes sailing above the level of his head, and also never shows the dark front part. Odd.
