Well he's right. It wasn't rhe responsibility of the local police department. They were responsible for traffic. It sounds like the County Sherrifs Dept. had some security responsibilities.

I'd have to go find exactly what the SS said. Maybe he's incorrect as to what they said. I honestly don't know with out trying to find it. But if they did say that, they were incorrect.
It doesn't matter. The duty of those officers that day was to protect Donald Trump. They failed to do their duty. It doesn't matter what excuses they can come up with or what shadowy conspiracy they might have been the tools of or what they might or might not have heard from local LEOs. They failed. All by themselves without any help.

According to the Township commissioner, if you’ve listened to the Fox interview, the BTPD didn't fail and went beyond their assigned traffic detail to protect Donald Trump.

SS director Kimberly Cheatle said local police were responsible for securing the outer perimeter, which included the shooter’s building. x.com

Not necessarily. When you are assigned some detail you nay not be part of tge protective detail. Guiding cars is not exactly part of the security at the event. They may not have even been read in on the whole ops plan. So protection may not have been part of thier duty.

No I still primarily blame the SS. It was thier job to create the security plan, instal the security plan and make sure it was followed. The fact that the roof wasn't covered and tgey had 20 minutes to do something was a total failure.

And it sounds like the PD wasn't assigned yo any of that. The SO was. So they bare responsibility too.

Sounds like she doesn't know what she's talking about because the SO had that duty.

Clearly, I have been misunderstood. Let me rephrase:


The duty of those secret service agents that day was to protect Donald Trump. They failed to do their duty. It doesn't matter what excuses they can come up with or what shadowy conspiracy they might have been the tools of or what they might or might not have heard from local LEOs. They failed. All by themselves without any help
