The unidentified officer says, “I fucking told the Secret Service to send the damn guy here. I told them that shit at the meeting on Tuesday.” The officer is referring to the area around the building that Crooks climbed.
As we reported, this bodycam released on Thursday also includes a clip of one of the officers hoist yourself onto the building where Crooks was lying with his gun in his hand, quickly dropped to the ground and ran to his car to grab a high-powered weapon.
Crooks was cut down almost instantly by a Secret Service sniper after he opened fire… and when the officer returned, he found more police officers surrounding Crooks’ body.
If the officer alerted the Secret Service, this is another serious security breach.
It’s important to remember that the Secret Service has already come under fire for not responding quickly enough when civilians alerted Crooks to the roof, and for allowing the gunman to get so close to his target. The Secret Service also said the building was not within its perimeter and should have been under surveillance by local police.
