"There's a shooter in the stadium somewhere, find them in the next 3 minutes" actually sounds like a really hard job.
Yeah, but we don't know how often they get false reports. I think from now on the security approach will probably change.
This is so good.
They pointed to the guy on the roof...
I honestly think you're underestimating how hard this is. 3 minutes is probably not enough time to get to the roof let alone find him if he moved.
It's not that hard to pull Trump from the stage until they had time to assess threat.
They had snipers set up on the other roofs. Turn and look when you get the radio call.
All the more reason to not be concerned when someone reports a gunman on the roof?
"There's a shooter in the stadium, get Trump off the stage" is really fucking easy.
Yeah like you are getting tRump off a stage while he is ranting with just one report
Yes, you do. You push him off, he doesn't get a say in it. Nevermind that he probably would want to, he doesn't want to get shot.
Abusing that system to silence him would be super easy.
