Explain these photographers after the supposed assassination attempt on Trump in Butler PA

Um what?

The USSS held him in place twice while the camera people took multiple shots.
Maybe it was because the photographers made their way to that side of the stage and wanted to make sure no one advanced as they brought him down the steps so they could blugeon him with their camera.
 
It makes absolutely no sense to me. None. If your job is to provide security you are trained not to be distracted. As part of your continuous training you will be distracted at times and in ways you never imagined.

"This is your area. This is what you cover no matter what else happens around you. You cover here and protect in this direction. Everyone needs to know and depend on you doing exactly what you are assigned to do just as you must depend on them."

If they trained USAF Security Police to do it that we might imagine that Secret Service could write the book on it.

We don't know, but how in the world were people allowed that close and holding what appears to be cameras AND following the action around the stage to the side as Trump is being protected? Who was protecting further action coming from in front of the stage? It makes no sense.
A thing to keep in mind. Trump was not POTUS when this happened so this was not the A-Team on duty that day. It starts there, and unwinds in a bad direction like a rancid snowball.
 
It's been a year and we know nothing more than we did in the first week or so after the shooting.
This does seem a little strange.
Trump is still claiming that the 2020 election was stolen.
He still wants that election thoroughly investigated, yet again.
He can't let it go.
But, oddly, DJT is not harping about his attempted murder.
Not sniveling about his near death and courageous recovery are both very un-Trumpy.
Something is very, very, very wrong with this picture.
 
We do not agree on much if anything, however I have never pictured you suggesting such silly conspiracy theories.
Not suggesting, looking for logical explanations.

Best one in thread this far is "they (USSS) ****ed up".

Otherwise, this looks sus as hell.
 
The assassination attempt was not staged.

No one has to explain the video or anyone's behavior to you or anyone else.

A person is dead and two people were severely wounded.

But if you think it's staged, give us the full version of the events start to finish.
You still here?

😅
 
I don't know why anyone has anything to do with X.

X is toxic to our nation. It should be ignored by everyone.

Walk away.
What does this have to do with the platform it was found?

The video itself is from tiktok. The video is not fake.

Reporters do what reporters do and that rarely includes common sense. The chaos was a secret service leadership **** up. That's all there is too it.

You said it was so they could get a better shot. I was asking if you're sure that was the reason.

That's an assumption I am unable to find supported in anything you've provided so far.

I see them herding the press away. I see them holding them back while Trump goes off stage. What I don't see is evidence that it was for the purpose of helping them get a better shot.

Wrong again. I have no idea if the assassination attempt was faked or not. The OP addresses the behavior of the rifleman on stage. I too have concerns about his behavior. I explained why.

I cannot help you nor am I interested in helping you with your willful ignorance.

They paused the president two times while they took multiple camera shots.

Was this when the "money shot" was taken?

Not sure what you are thinking, this is about the camera people that some guy in a suit went and gathered so they could follow the president and USSS as they moved around the stage. They stopped Trump twice while they took several shots.
 
Explain the person killed and the two seriously wounded people?
I'll go all Alex Jones on ya......all crisis actors playing their roles.
Tell us about the dead gunman too while you are at it.
There is no dead gunman. Have you yourself actually seen his body?
Alex Jones for the win!!
Let's here "your" start to end version on how this "staged" event happened?
Many powerful people with unlimited amounts of money wanted Trump in office.
Think Mossad (@sKiTzo }........just look what happened to Iran after DJT was re-installed.
No expense was too great to achieve their goal of a Trumpy presidency.
Alex Jones closes the show!!

You keep making it up just like the op.

I stand corrected. I was looking at the SS security, which I find concerning.

From your OP - "In such circumstances, why would the USSS allow civilians to get this close to a president who was just "shot"?
 
I stand corrected. I was looking at the SS security, which I find concerning.
Oh, before this camera men episode, I always wondered about their actions that day. To me it looked totally wrong in the way they allowed Trump to expose himself so he could do the multiple fist bumps to the crowd. I'm obviously not trained but it seems to go against all we've been told for years about how USSS agents should act in these situations. He should have been totally covered and immediately rushed to safety. None of that happened.

Yes, as a reference we can look at videos of when Reagan was shot. The SS were all over him like white on rice. To my eyes it was handled much differently than the attempt on Trump.
 
Why would USSS let civilians of any type this close to the president just after being "shot"?

Unless this was staged...

That's not where the shot came from. They had more important things to worry about in the moment. What's the conspiracy angle though, really?

Hiring someone to take a shot at a candidate but make sure to only minorly injure him so as to boost his support would be an absurdly risky conspiracy to attempt. Almost insanely so. What if the fall guy kills the target? What if the fall guy somehow gets away and recaptured alive, and then is in a position to spill the beans? Etc.
