I agree with your sentiment, but not all your numbers. A 6:12 pitch is about the limit of what we can safely/comfortably walk without the use of safety equipment, and that’s about 27°. From the pictures I’ve seen, the roofs that the counter sniper teams were on were maybe 2:12 or 3:12, or 10-14°, which would be typical for that size of pole building. I’ve not seen any reports that have actual pitch measurements, but the photos and 3D renderings that I’ve seen show that the roof pitches were all typical for those sizes of pole building, and none of the ones in question are anywhere close to a 6 or 7:12 pitch.

The SS director said they decided to secure the building from the inside.
Not sure how securing a roof from the inside is accomplished.

The Secret Service roof slope was about 30 degrees.

The Secret Service claimed they did not post on what became the shooters roof because the ~5 degree slope posed a ‘safety hazard’ due to the ‘excessive’ slope, yet they can post up on a roof with a ~30 degree slope and no ‘safety’ issue for them at all.

Another thing too, most of the ‘Secret Service’ agents you see in the videos were not Secret Service. They were on loan from DHS and were ‘paper pusher’ types that had no training or experience for such protective duty. Secret Service is counting these as ‘Secret Service’ agents in their count of how many ‘Secret Service’ agents they had there.

why? there are loads of incompetent cops.

Darkman,

I share your sentiment that the “security lapses” were intentional.

The really fun question is whether or not any entity truly investigates and actually finds proof of said intentional lapse. Perhaps an equally fun fact will learning the identity of the person or people who directed those security lapses.
