In the chaotic aftermath of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally last month, a local police officer told a fellow officer he had warned the Secret Service days earlier that the building where the 20-year-old gunman opened fire needed to be secured.
“I [bleep] told them they needed to post guys [bleep] over here,” the officer said in police body-camera footage released by the Butler township police department, with expletives bleeped out. “I told them that [bleeped expletive] Tuesday.”
When another officer asked who he told that to, he responded: “The Secret Service.”
Police body-camera videos, released in response to a public records request, show frustration among local law enforcement officers at how Thomas Matthew Crooks – whom police had flagged as suspicious before the shooting – managed to slip away from their view, scale a roof and open fire with an AR-style rifle at the former US president and Republican presidential nominee. CNN had submitted a public records request and published the footage.
