The misdirection, obfuscation and outright tall tales being told by the U.S. Secret Service, possibly the local police and the Biden administration is off the charts; especially when we’re talking about roofs. Yes, roofs.
It seems somebody wants Americans to believe snipers don’t surveil and shoot from sloped roofs. Somebody needs to tell snipers that:

As you can see there are lots of different types of sloped rooftops all over the world that law enforcement or military snipers stage their gear. Why are roof tops optimal for a protectee’s security and the people’s safety?
- Unobstructed Line of Sight: Roofs often provide a clear and unobstructed view of the surrounding area, allowing snipers to engage targets without obstacles or cover.
- Elevation: Roof tops offer a higher vantage point, enabling snipers to dominate the battlefield and engage targets at longer ranges.
- Overwatch Capability: Snipers positioned on roofs can provide overwatch support to ground forces, taking out enemy forces that threaten their advance or position.
- Material Target Destruction: As mentioned in one of the search results, snipers may be ordered to destroy material targets, such as enemy equipment or infrastructure, which can be effectively accomplished from a rooftop position.
- Flexibility: Roof tops can serve as a versatile location for snipers, allowing them to adapt to changing battlefield conditions and quickly reposition themselves as needed.
These advantages highlight the strategic value of roof positioning for snipers, enabling them to exercise control over the battlefield and achieve their objectives with precision and effectiveness. (Brave AI)
Now we know definitively snipers of all variety’s certainly stage from all different kinds of rooftops that are “sloped” or “rounded” or “slanted.” We also know why – unobstructed sight line, elevation, overwatch, flexibility and shooting a target.
For most of our readers this is no brainer information but there is a reason for this discussion. Apparently, the Director of the U.S. Secret Service is either unaware of the fact Secret Service snipers shoot from all different kinds of rooftops or she is aware and is obfuscating the truth.
When asked in a recent ABC News interview by Pierre Thomas with U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle about the exposed rooftop Thomas Crooks was easily able to fire off at least three to five rounds “Should that roof have been secured, period?” Her response:
‘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,‘ she told ABC News in an interview Tuesday.
‘And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.’
This is the roofline she’s talking about:
It’s slope as you can see is minimal and is designed with that subtle pitch for water or snow run-0ff. How can those two Secret Service snipers we saw on the roof behind Trump be staged on a “sloped” roof yet no team was staged on the roof the sniper staged with a clear line of site to the dais President Trump was speaking from? See the conundrum.

As stated at the beginning of this article why the obfuscation, the misdirection and the tall tales from the Secret Service and potentially local law enforcement? Somebody took one helluva shot at former and soon to be President Donald J Trump.

As everyone has been saying since Saturday evening had he not turned his head when he did their would be no Republican Presidential nominee. Instead, we’d likely be having a state funeral.
Any appointee who uses imbecilic excuses such as “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” for decisions that puts their protectee’s lives in harms way is not serving the public good, but rather they are protecting another’s interest.
Whose interests is she protecting?
