Towards the end you see a bunch of agents gathered around the front doors of those buildings. I believe the latter was in-between the two buildings so you can't see it.
To me this was interesting because you can see multiple cops unsuccessfully trying to get a view of the shooter. Its absurd to me. Was like watching the keystone cops. Additionally you see just how much time there was between them seeing the threat and the shots being fired. Its clear that the shooter noticed he was spotted and took a shot while he had it.
There was plenty of time to radio Secret Service and we are told they did. Maybe I haven't seen all the video footage out there but seeing this just left me with even more disgust in our so called law enforcement's so called thin blue line. If they can't protect a former president don't tell me I don't need to take responsibility for my own personal security.
The local officers are being given a chance to speak out. This is interesting. Shows how he got up too.

Trump is so popular with law enforcement that I have a hard time believing any intentional malice on their part (local).

I agree with that.

Scott Horton was calling out the cops for their lack of urgency and getting up too close to the building to be able to see on top. I'm not sure what footage he had seen, but that criticism was already out there.
It was interesting seeing a new vantage, but I hope we get better footage from one of the people who could actually see him.

I just keep going back to the failure in planning and these guys confirming failure in communications. This seems like it is resting on the shoulders of the Secret Service.

Even for someone as skeptical of the state as I am, it is hard to fathom this degree of incompetence. It does still seem like it was largely incompetence, though.
Of course there are still the unanswered questions about what appears to have been a Fed visiting the shooter's house and how he made those IED's.
