The best part is there was a police officer who climbed the roof and saw the shooter, who threatened him with the gun, so he turned around. ~~Trump got shot because of scaredy-cop.~~

Edit: The cop possibly made him rush his shot and miss according to source (below). Thanks Blanketswithsmallpox. Apparently when I make a claim that is on a news site, I should put the link or get downvoted. 🤷

Sauce is AP News. Police officer likely saved Trump's life by making gunman rush for his shots.

The one time I wish they were pussies and they can't even get that right.

Edit: Jk it won’t work. Edit: here’s the text:

Local police officer encountered shooter before he fired towards Trump, AP sources say

BY COLLEEN LONG Share Not long before shots rang out, rally goers noticed a man climbing to the top of a roof of a nearby building and warned local law enforcement, according to two law enforcement officials.

One officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder and Crooks quickly took a shot toward former President Donald Trump, and that’s when the U.S. Secret Service counter snipers shot him, said the officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
