    to be fair if I was on a ladder and got to the top and there was a dude pointing a gun at me, I could be the most elite warrior there is and still know the best option is retreat.

      Yea, I’m not sure how this cop getting domed before the dude turned back around and fired at Trump would have helped the situation…

        I mean, the SS hearing that shot and pivoting that way may have saved Trumps life if the shooter were competent but that’s not the scenario that happened.

        But what cop wants to be the guy domed so maybe the SS saves a fascist

          I would say the cop startling the shooter and making him rush probably saved Trump’s life

            I would agree that’s a fair assessment yea, if the shooter had been given time to setup and aim without interruption he probably could’ve hit trump 2/3 times instead of just launching shots in the general vicinity as quick as possible

      In medieval times and before, people who went up first on the ladders during an assault either got a huge reward or the right to carry off whatever they found. Fighting up a ladder with no one friendly at the top is hugely dangerous.
