Correct. Doesn't change the fact they were'nt bird watching. They were looking at/for something of interest.I think that video is of the team that had the tree in the way of their line of sight.

They could communicate through the command center. They could not communicate directly with each other. I suspect that people who are flabbergasted by that has little or no experience with large multijurisdictional events. Do you really want the USSS near the gate not able to radio the USSS detail team about a possible threat because a local officer in a parking lot is calling in to run a license plate?Hmmm good question: so if LE and SS couldn’t figure out how to communicate over a 130 yds (possessing some of the most advanced comms in the world and apparently too busy to yell) what/why is this CS team glassing something?
p.s. I’m gonna go out in a limb and say the CS team could indeed literally have thrown a fucking rock at the protective detail below them and advised they were glassing a suspicious person.
Yep, that had been reported early on.According to multiple reports he was working at a nursing home.
Yessir well aware of how that works.. We dont know WHAT he bought or with what IDThe key words are firearms RELATED purchases. He did not buy 25 guns online. If you have ever bought a gun online (I have several), you know that you have to contact an FFL in your area to receive that firearm. You need to send a copy of his FFL to the dealer you are buying from. Once the firearm is shipped to the receiving FFL, you need to go and pick it up and fill out the proper ATF forms and get a background check. No background check in TX if you have an LTC, but the forms are still filled out. There is no way an FFL is going to risk his license by giving it to someone without proper procedures followed.
MSM will call anything 'firearm related'. Magazines, ammo, a sling, cleaning rod or patches, a case, that rangefinder, etc. Anything bought from Cabella's. You know what I mean.
Lets just pretend I do.They could communicate through the command center. They could not communicate directly with each other.

As far as the CS team glassing something, the local police were running around the outside of the building. The CS team may have noticed that commotion and wanted to see what was happening.
That first video was great. I did not know that the sniper team on building 14 was facing the other way. That explains the 15 second delay to take out Crooks. They had to swing around and reset their tripod, ID the shooter, and make the shot.Someone flew a drone around the site 6 days after the shooting and tries to show the view from various locations.
Yes, the FIRE dispatchers, the EMS dispatchers, and the police dispatchers are usually all in the local or regional command center, the 911 call center, or whatever it was called in that area. On the average day, I could get on the radio and ask for EMS to my location. My dispatcher would notify the EMS dispatcher by creating a new event and sending that event to the EMS dispatcher and one would be in route. It's not unusual for EMS, FIRE, and police to have different radios. At a large multijurisdictional event, it works pretty much the same way except the command center reps from each unit, in my experience, aren't in their own separate cubicles. They're usually in close proximity and can hear traffic on the other channels if they are not actively engaged in their own traffic.Lets just pretend I do.
If I wanted to say, contact FIRE/EMS about a man down at my location, and EMS was stationed about a 1/2 mile away, there are ways that can be done rather quickly and efficiently.
Right, in my case Fire/EMS we were able to relay to dispatcher who could get State Police attention in very short order and vice versa. State Police used a repeater system that allowed a Trooper or barracks to talk to another hundreds of miles away. I was based about 40 miles from the Butler site and BIL was at a barracks 4 hours awayYes, the FIRE dispatchers, the EMS dispatchers, and the police dispatchers are usually all in the local or regional command center, the 911 call center, or whatever it was called in that area.

I suspect a lot, if not most, state police agencies are set up with repeaters due to their patrol area being the state. And I'm not trying to split hair here but are you saying a PA statie would be able to communicate directly with a USSS agent because of their fusion center or the staties could easily get info to the USSS through their fusion center?Right, in my case Fire/EMS we were able to relay to dispatcher who could get State Police attention in very short order and vice versa.

But the Staties had direct access with Fed comms via their Fusion centers
According to the testimony by PSP Colonel, PSP had representative(s) in the USS command post. They should've been able to relay any comms directly to their USS counterparts.I dont have any direct experience with State to Fed comms so I cant say but I assumed simply the latter
But it was too windy, or it would of interfered with the Chinese surveillance balloon...LOLTime to setup a tethered mini-blimp with cameras .. simple enough to do since the US Civil War
This is the shot I want to know about, where did it come from?That first video was great. I did not know that the sniper team on building 14 was facing the other way.

The team on building 16 could not see Crooks due to the tree.
