A report from The New York Times highlights the potential reasons for this failure, including possible \u2064malfunctions in their communication system, improper deployment of resources, or a\u200b choice to disregard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-pledges-orderly-transition-of-power\/\" title=\"President Trump pledges orderly transition of power\">local law enforcement<\/a> channels. \u2064The narrative \u2064emphasizes the dire consequences of these lapses, underlining the need for accountability within the agency, particularly after a life \u2063was lost.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>There seems to be no end to the Secret Service&rsquo;s incompetence.<\/p>\n<p>Just when you think the July 13 shooting of former President Donald Trump couldn&rsquo;t have gone any worse, a new detail proves that it did.<\/p>\n<p>A Thursday report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/01\/us\/politics\/secret-service-technology-trump.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> offered another one of those details.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, after failing to confront would-be-assassin Thomas Crooks for an hour and a half, agents had &ldquo;one last chance to get it right.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Thirty seconds before the shooting took place, an officer reportedly shouted &ldquo;Long gun!&rdquo; over the local law enforcement radio system.<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It was urgent news that should have instantly traveled to a command center d by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/celebrity-chef-delivers-food-to-d-c-law-enforcement\/\" title=\"Celebrity chef delivers food to D.C. law enforcement\">local police<\/a> and the Secret Service, and then to agents close enough to throw their bodies in front of Mr. Trump,&rdquo; the Times reported.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They still had time to disrupt an assassination attempt.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But, as we all know, they didn&rsquo;t.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being spotted 90 minutes ahead of time and despite officials at the scene knowing about the &ldquo;long gun&rdquo; 30 seconds ahead of time, Crooks was still able to get a shot off.<\/p>\n<p>Why?

Just when it seemed that the July 13 shooting incident involving former President Donald Trump couldn&#8217;t have been handled any worse, new information has emerged indicating otherwise. A report from The New York Times on Thursday revealed additional troubling details. <\/p>\n<p>The report states that after failing to confront would-be assassin Thomas Crooks for an hour and a half, agents had &#8220;one last chance to get it right.&#8221; Just thirty seconds before the shooting occurred, an officer reportedly announced &#8220;Long gun!&#8221; over the local law enforcement radio system.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Times, \u201cThis was urgent information that should have quickly reached a command center operated by local police and the Secret Service, allowing agents nearby enough time to protect Mr. Trump.\u201d However, as we know all too well, they failed to act.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having spotted Crooks 90 minutes prior and being alerted about the &#8220;long gun&#8221; just half a minute before the attack, he was still able to fire his weapon. Why? It seems that this critical radio message never reached Secret Service agents. While it&#8217;s unclear why those who needed this information most did not receive it, The Times suggested three possible explanations\u2014each of which reflects poorly on the agency.<\/p>\n<p>One possibility is a malfunction in their communication system; if true, it indicates negligence on their part in ensuring all equipment functioned properly. Another explanation is improper deployment of their systems; again highlighting their responsibility for operational readiness when lives are at stake. <\/p>\n<p>The third\u2014and potentially most alarming\u2014reason is that the Secret Service may have simply opted not to utilize the radio system used by local law enforcement. This lack of coordination and oversight is deeply concerning but aligns with an agency seemingly more focused on diversity initiatives than effective operations.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that although Trump survived his injuries from being shot during this incident, two others were critically hurt and firefighter Corey Comperatore tragically lost his life. A man died due in part to these failures by the Secret Service which must be addressed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2318380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Donald-Trump-Rally-Butler.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[16097,32327,34991,36854,3634],"class_list":["post-2318379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-law-enforcement","tag-breaking-news","tag-gun-violence","tag-local-news","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Donald-Trump-Rally-Butler.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2318379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318379\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2318380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2318379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2318379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2318379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
