We witnessed suspicious behavior, shared photos with snipers, but lacked communication with Secret Service. Despite efforts to stop the attack, we feel we failed as lives were lost.

During the Capitol breach, I heard rioters shouting for Trump and witnessed officers in pain. I was being crushed and struggling for oxygen, thinking I might die defending the entrance. Rioters were stripping shields from officers, but I had one and stayed at the front. My family was desperately trying to reach me, and I finally let them know I was alive after giving CPR to a rioter. I arrived home at 4 AM, unable to hug my wife due to the chemicals on my uniform. Despite exhaustion and injuries, I returned to work for 15 consecutive days. Even now, over 6 months later, I'm still recovering, along with other officers.

Members of the Pennsylvania SWAT team recount their experience during the attempted assassination of former President Trump. They noticed the suspicious behavior of the shooter before the incident but failed to communicate their concerns effectively to the Secret Service. Despite rushing to the scene and encountering the shooter's body, they feel they could have done more to prevent the tragedy. The lack of communication and coordination within the team and with the Secret Service contributed to the catastrophic outcome.

Good morning. I've been asked about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, and I want to share my perspective. With 17 years in the military, including 14 in a special operations unit, I have experience in close protection for VIPs, including the Prime Minister in dangerous areas. The recent incident raises serious concerns. The shooter’s ability to access a rooftop so close to the president during daylight seems implausible without assistance from an agency or organization. The aerial photo made it clear that security measures were insufficient. It appears that this was not just a random act; it had to be planned, whether through negligence or strategic intent.

I shot him multiple times until he was no longer a threat. Despite being a medic with first aid training, I did not help him. The incident occurred near a hospital, but my first instinct was to flee due to the growing crowd chanting to attack me.

I witnessed unprecedented violence against police officers through the media. It was brutal and ugly, but our officers responded as necessary. However, a protester claims that the violence could have been avoided if the police hadn't used concussion grenades and pepper spray. According to the protester, the protest was peaceful, and the officers started firing without any provocation. Tear gas was also used, causing distress and difficulty breathing for the protester.

Reflecting on the mission, there were loud noises that may have spooked the captors into hiding the hostages in a tunnel. After receiving a call for planning help, I quickly prepared to join the operation. We faced delays but eventually jumped into the target area, aiming to rescue two kidnapped professors. Anticipating a tough fight, we approached cautiously. Upon reaching the target, we found five males sleeping but confirmed they weren't the hostages. I made the difficult decision to eliminate them to protect my team. Unfortunately, the hostages were not there, leading to a failed rescue. Despite the stress and moral weight of my actions, the team discussed the mission afterward, and I returned to my duties, still grappling with the implications of that night.

This was a significant security failure. A man was murdered, and three people, including President Trump, were shot on live television. Despite the severity, media coverage has been minimal. Having worked in the Secret Service for 12 years, I see three major issues: 1. **Technology**: The agency relies on outdated systems and equipment, which is unacceptable. 2. **Budget Mismanagement**: The "more with less" approach is flawed; they received more funding but produced less effective security. 3. **Investigative Focus**: The Secret Service should prioritize protection over counterfeiting investigations, which can be handled by other agencies. We need to address these problems to prevent future failures. Thank you for your time.

I I'd be interested to hear what the conversation was that led up to the shots being fired because that's to me, it's silly. Guys out here just doing a job and then gets harassed and ultimately, you know, shot by somebody not even involved.

I witnessed a shooting at a rally where a man was killed and a woman injured. The shots seemed to come from behind the bleachers, hitting the man in the head and grazing the former president's ear. The chaotic scene unfolded quickly, with the police and SWAT team evacuating the area. As a doctor, I offered assistance but was not needed. The victims' family members were distraught. The incident highlights the polarized political climate in the country. I had a sense of foreboding before the shooting occurred.

I'm on the building where the sniper supposedly shot from. It's not steep. Secret Service should've been on the water tower behind me to prevent this. There were questions in Butler about why they didn't act. We'll investigate to ensure it doesn't happen again.

I've been through a roller coaster of emotions since January 6th. Some days are better than others. It's tough to see people downplay what happened that day. I experienced brutal combat and felt like I was going to die. It was overwhelming. 850 MPD officers and others risked their lives to protect the Capitol. The bravery displayed that day was nothing short of miraculous.

My colleagues and family on the frontline are facing heightened tensions due to recent events. It's crucial to handle tempers carefully. There's confusion between two separate cases, leading to misunderstandings. Thank you to Kevin Hurley, a former detective chief superintendent, for sharing his insights.

We were at a party near the rally, listening to Trump speak when we noticed a man crawling on the roof nearby with a rifle. We pointed him out to the police and Secret Service, but they seemed unaware. After a few minutes, shots rang out, and we were certain they came from the road. The Secret Service quickly responded and shot the man. They approached the roof to confirm he was dead. He was dressed in muted colors, and we could see the rifle clearly. It’s shocking that we could see him for so long without any security on the roof. There are many questions about the security response during the incident.

We saw a man with a rifle on a roof during a Trump rally. We alerted the police and Secret Service, but shots were fired before action was taken. The Secret Service shot and killed the man on the roof.

The officer did not want to use lethal force and had never encountered such a situation before. After the incident, he was visibly shaken, and I reassured him that he did what he had to do. It’s tragic that a young woman lost her life, and her family is affected, but the lieutenant's life has also changed forever. He didn't come to work intending to use his weapon; he was forced into that situation to protect others. When commands were ignored, he had to act in self-defense to prevent the weapon from being taken and used against him, which could have endangered more lives. Though many had evacuated, there were still individuals in the area, and his actions likely saved additional lives.

The speaker claims that the incident could have been avoided if the officers had not used concussion grenades and pepper spray during a peaceful protest. According to the speaker, there was no provocation or rush towards the officers before they started firing these projectiles. The speaker emphasizes that they were standing within 15 feet of the officers when the grenades and pepper spray were deployed.

It's 12:45 on Wednesday afternoon at the capitol. I'm standing by the barricade on the west side, concerned about the lack of security. I inform a Capitol Police officer that there are only 9 men on the perimeter, which won't be enough for the large crowd expected in the next 15 minutes. He dismisses my concerns, claiming they handle protests all the time. I laugh and warn him that he's about to learn a hard lesson in chaotic situations.

They monitored the area before my speech, but nobody warned me about a man on the roof with a gun. People noticed him and even shouted, yet no action was taken. It was a mistake not to address the situation earlier.

Social media and journalism can misrepresent the circumstances surrounding an event, and the post seen does not depict the entire incident. What often happens is that social media and mainstream media commentary distort content, which makes it harder to thoroughly investigate the activity and enforce the law. A single post or coverage item can present one side of the story without context, leading to people rushing to conclusions and the narrative “growing legs” that the investigation then has to manage. Speaker 1 asked where the nearest officers were. Speaker 0 answered that in the central business section they were working; both were in vehicles and had to maneuver through traffic. Regarding what exactly was distorted, Speaker 0 explained that social media irresponsibility frequently shows one side of the equation without factual context, and then people run with that, causing the issue to grow larger and become more difficult to manage as part of the investigation.

We had a responsibility, but there was a lack of accountability for what was happening. It's absurd to question whether we should call the Capitol Police or National Guard after the breach had already occurred. The National Guard should have been present from the start, as the assessment of the situation was clearly inadequate. I take responsibility for not ensuring they were prepared for more significant events.

There was a shooting near 27th and Wisconsin on Wednesday. Gunshots were exchanged, and a man with a long gun was seen on camera. I returned gunfire and was fatally struck at the scene. Unfortunately, I managed to injure another officer before I died. Why does it matter if someone is gay or trans? Everyone is quick to judge my nephew without knowing what he was going through. This doesn't excuse my actions, but I was a good person. It's unbelievable how white men can commit mass shootings and walk away, while I was killed. People are joking about my shooting skills, but I served in the army and could have killed many if I wanted to.

I warned about chemical munitions and called for deployment. There's chaos as flashbangs are being used against us, and officers are shooting into their own crowd. We’re here to support Blue Lives Matter, but this is how we’re treated. A large crowd is approaching on High Street, and we need backup. There were violent acts that day, including brutal assaults on police officers. Our officers acted as necessary. However, if the police hadn’t used concussion grenades and pepper spray, the situation might have remained peaceful. We were standing close to them, and they initiated the violence without provocation. We’ve been tear-gassed.

We were supposed to have a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service snipers, but it never happened. There was no communication with the Secret Service until after the shooting, which was too late.

We noticed a suspicious person, shared photos with snipers, but didn't receive a response. Secret Service didn't communicate with us before the shooting. Climbed onto the roof unsure of the situation, found the shooter's body. Despite efforts, we feel we failed that day as lives were lost and we could have done more to prevent it.
