Why was he looking at a guy on a nearby roof with a weapon and not taking action?

Where is the video of this? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 13, 20:52 3
- It was on CNN. He didn’t adjust his rifle at all post the initial shooting. He moved his head away from the scope to I guess look at the shooter, then - Loyola Jul 13, 21:03 2
  - Found the video. Yeah looked like the sniper didn't even need to adjust and was targeting the person all along. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 13, 21:10 1
    - Makes you wonder. Like those moron cops at the school shooting who hadn’t the courage to go protect the kids. -- nm - Loyola Jul 13, 21:13
Probably needed confirmation, make sure he wasn't another agent -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 20:15 5

- I'm guessing you're probably not too far off, actually. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 13, 20:27 2
  - Oh they fucked up. From the aerial, they probably had other lines covered. This one was too close, too easy to let slide and be exploited. IMHO -- nm - VMan Jul 13, 20:29 1
    - Oh for sure...some heads are gonna roll for this. Thats unacceptable. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 13, 20:34

  - Not sure but, I feel safer now. Love good guys with guns. Walmart, Home Deport, Polling Stations… everywhere. -- nm - VMan Jul 13, 20:21
