Fuming cop caught on video saying he told Secret Service days before to secure roof where Thomas Crooks opened fire at Trump: 'I f–king told them' | 9 Aug 2024 | A police officer assigned to the Pennsylvania rally where former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated fumed to a fellow cop that he told the Secret Service to man the roof where the gunman opened fire, body camera footage shows. A fired-up Butler Township Police Department cop can be heard seething over the Secret Service's decision to leave the roof unoccupied - just 130 yards from where Trump was speaking on July 13, according to footage published by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday. "I f-king told them they need to post a guy f-king over here," one cop is heard saying shortly after a shot rang out. "Who?" another officer asks. "The Secret Service," the officer responds. "I told them that f–king Tuesday."
