On Thursday, Pennsylvania police body cam footage obtained by Fox News shows two officers attempting to intercept Thomas Matthew Crooks on a roof seconds before he allegedly tried to assassinate former President Trump at a campaign rally last month.
The footage is taken from two officers from the Butler Township Police Department who attempted to stop Crooks moments before he fired his AR-15 rifle striking former President Trump in the ear, killing Corey Comparatore and injuring two others.
“F—— this close, bro. Dude he turned around on me,” the officer who was hoisted can be heard saying in another bodycam video released Thursday.
One officer can be seen hosting another officer onto the roof where Crooks was stationed, which is about 12 feet above the ground.
Crooks pointed his weapon at the officer who scaled the building, before he ultimately ducks his head and loses his grip on the roof’s edge and falls about eight feet to the ground, spraining his ankle, Butler Township Manager Thomas Knights previously told Fox News Digital.
Watch:
The video does not capture Crooks.
“I’m f—— p—ed. We couldn’t find him,” another officer can be heard saying in the other bodycam footage.
“Before you motherf—–s came up here, I popped my head up there like an idiot by myself dude,” the officer who was boosted onto the roof says. “Then he turned around and I f—— dropped and I started f—— I was calling out bro, f—— on top of the roof. F—— we’re not on the same frequency?”
Butler Township PD Lt. Matthew Pearson told a local outlet that the officer was unable to draw his weapon since he was hanging from the building.
Seconds later, Crooks opened fire.

The question is why was Crook allowed to get a shot off? That close of range why didn`t they wound him? Was it to shut him up? Schumer and a few others should be removed from their political positions. They were questioning after the fact that Trump was even shot at all. Who are these people?
