Apparently, a couple of the reasons for not having an officer on top of the building from where Trump was shot are that it was "too dangerous" to have him on a sloped roof (as roofers scratch their heads, doing that for a living), and then when that was laughed out of the public forum as ludicrous, apparently whistleblowers claimed that someone was up there, but came down because it was too hot.
The temperature in Butler, PA maxed out at 83F. I'm pretty sure that our soldiers who served in Iraq, where the mercury routinely hits above 110F, will be playing a song of compassion for the poor guy on the world's smallest violin. Granted, a white roof will reflect heat, but dealing with uncomfortable heat is part of the job, and small town police officers deal with much higher temperatures while providing security around the beer tent at every county fair in the lower 48.
So either the culture of the Secret Service has significantly changed from "will take a bullet for the President" to "don't make me sweat for the President", or they're still lying, and actually were working to endanger a former President. I'm guessing a little bit of both, because people who will still take a bullet for that role probably aren't going to back down on the truth.
It's a scary time for our country.
