I spent 30 years in law enforcement including several years as a major crimes' investigator for the State Troopers in my state.

Basic skills for any cop or State Trooper, to include DUI enforcement, speed and other violation enforcements, etc.). A cop goes into court for a contested radar speeding ticket with quite a few requirements prior to their testimony. You are able to recall exactly all events leading up to the actual writing of a ticket. One simple speeding ticket! Director Wray today, and the Secret Service Director yesterday, are the most ill prepared bureaucrats I've ever watched.

From what I have seen in video of the gun, I didn't see a scope,blurry video at distance but nothing noticeable.. Very unbelievable to think with no-scope, police confrontation of crooks just minutes before , people yelling guy on roof with guy, he would shoot, calmly shot 1,2,3 with sniper precision no scope ( I think 45678 are crooks frantic shots out of fear. ( 6 shot killed fire fighter ) But shots 1 ( hit trump ear ) then the next two shots timed perfect between shots, more with an individual that is hidden or in a 2nd story window or along a fence, on top of water tower. ( Not crooks ) Someone calm and not shooting in fear of the yelling and police confrontation with man on roof Try going hunting for a deer while a police officer confronts you, a crowd yelling and you think you can shoot calmly and precise to hit his ear ( if he didn't move at last second would have been perfect shot aka a sniper shot , not 20 year old .. Common sense can be used to logically think it out.. Either crooks was working with another individual ( that got away ) or he was working with an agency and he was the fall guy ! Listen to lots of audio from different locations and shots 1,2,3 are completely different then 45678, shit 9 a sniper and shot 10 sniper.. yes 10 total shots on audio.. two shots have been confirmed police 9 & 10 but saying other 8 is one gun, lies. When you hear shots from different locations definitely different.. Might even be shot 1 is a sniper #1 hit trump ( sounds quieter on recordings then next two shots ) Shot 2 a different sniper #2 Shot 3 sniper #3 Might have three professional snipers tale the first three shots. ( Same guns, same ammunition will sound the same) why only one shot, can't give up your location and need to leave as soon as possible! But no way crooks took the first three shots, ( professional hitmen that missed because of a turn of head) you can be the best shot but can't predict a surprise movement.

Background on both shooters provided to media on the very same day. But both shooters killed within minutes or hours of the shootings. Some of us old enough to remember the Kennedy shooting were startled to see almost a flashback to that horrible day when the Butler shooter was identified so quickly from just his DNA. This despite having no criminal record.

Many roofs, especially metal roofs, have a low angle pitch. Brass bullet casings do not roll perfectly down. Most likely, they will twist sideways and come to rest on the corrugations of the roof. Then there's usually the gutters that will stop them falling to the ground. I've been on a lot of roofs while working and did a fair bit of shooting over 40+ years. Did you watch the video? it's clear to see the roof pitch is minor perhaps only a 3 inch drop per foot.
