Yet another “coincidental” lapse in Secret Service protocols resulted in the attempted assassination of President Trump.
At a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, local law enforcement had set aside radios for the Secret Service, but they were never collected.
This oversight allowed would-be assassin Thomas Crooks to climb onto a nearby roof and take aim at President Trump.
A bullet grazed Trump’s ear, fatally striking one rallygoer and wounding two others.
Bodycam footage captured a Butler Township police officer expressing frustration as his warnings about Crooks went unheeded due to the Secret Service’s failure to pick up their radios.
“Before you motherf*ckers came up here, I popped my head up there like an idiot by myself, dude,” the police officer who was hoisted onto the roof said. “Then he turned around and I f*cking dropped, and I started f*cking, I was calling out, ‘Bro, f*cking on top of the roof.’ F*cking, we’re not on the same frequency?”
WATCH:
Bodycam footage shows that, even after shots were fired, it took police FIVE MINUTES to reach the location of Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks.

CNN reported:
The day before the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, a tactical team of local police officers set aside radios for their Secret Service partners so the two agencies could communicate during the former president’s July 13 campaign rally.
But those radios were never picked up.
The next day, three minutes before shots were fired toward Trump, local police radioed that a man was on a nearby roof. That warning never made it to the Secret Service, whose snipers didn’t know the would-be assassin was on the roof until shots rang out. In the 15 seconds it took for snipers to lock onto and kill the shooter, he was able to fire off eight shots.
Standing over the gunman’s dead body minutes later, a local police officer who responded to the initial warning expressed frustration that his own radio calls about a man on the roof seemed to go unheeded by the other officers.
“That’s what I was f**king calling out bro, f**king ‘On top of the roof,’” the officer said, according to body camera footage. “We’re not – we on the same frequency?”
New: Secret Service never picked up radios set aside for them by local officers before Trump's July 13 rally.
If they had, USSS may have heard warning about a man on the roof before the shooting occurred, per Butler County DA.
