by R. Cort Kirkwood, The New American:
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, a top priority for whom is pushing women into positions for which they are unqualified, told ABC News why no law enforcement was on the roof of the building from which Thomas Matthew Crooks tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
The slope on the roof, she said, was too steep and dangerous. Crooks, apparently, didn’t know that.
The risible explanation immediately drew the ridicule it richly deserved. The sniper who shot Crooks dead was on a sloped roof, and experts say snipers operate from sloped surfaces all the time.

Meanwhile, the local BeaverCountian.com has reported more details about what went on in the building, where local police were staged to provide perimeter protection for the event.

Too Dangerous to Station Sniper
Cheatle said she accepts full responsibility for the near-assassination of Trump, the murder of firefighter Corey Comperatore, and the wounding of two others.
But during the interview with ABC, Cheatle explained that manning the roof was just too perilous.
“That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point,” Cheatle weakly explained:
And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.
Cheatle also confessed, as NBC News reported, that the building was a major security risk. Despite being the staging area for local police, who spotted Crooks multiple times before he opened fire, the 20-year-old made it to the roof for his deadly mission.
“Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so no one could get on the roof,” a former agent told NBC. As well, even if local cops failed in their job, the agency should “ensure that they are following through either beforehand or in the moment.”
Another agent told NBC that the Secret Service shouldn’t fob off its job to local police.
“You don’t surrender the discretion of what’s supposed to be done to the local police,” Anthony Cangelosi told the network. “In other words, you guys have the outer perimeter, but you would want to say, ‘We need an officer on that roof.’ Not ‘that’s your responsibility; do what you see fit.’”
