​@@i2Shea _"Probably just another case of cops/security just going through the motions."_ Yes, except many people pointed out that suspicious looking time for cops SEVERAL times. Apparently even a medic team on the ground had noticed the guy 26 MINUTES before shooting, and send an image to cops and pointed what is that very suspicious looking person is doing alone in that roof, is he supposed to be there. That was almost 30 minutes before action. After that more and more people were noticing the guy and informing police. We are already gone past the 'they were just doing the motions' when several reports are ignored and it's not like it takes much effort to radio in and ask is there supposed to be a person on that roof? Does not look like one of our/your guys (which he didn't), do you know who he is? One might say it's pretty suspect that some random civilian is moving on a roof of polices own snipers nest and that is actively ignored despite that guy been reported to security NUMEROUS time by different people and it's not like he was even hard to spot. Open roof, clear line of sight from various positions, even from the ground level.
