Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe says that the cop who confronted the Trump shooter, Thomas Cooks, saved Trump’s life by interrupting him. The cop confronted the shooter and then turned around and crawled back down the roof when the shooter aimed his gun at the cop. That interruption saved the President, according to that logic.
By the same logic, that interruption cost the innocent bystander his life so you can’t have it both ways. What that cop unequivocally should have done is stop the shooter from firing any bullets at any cost, right? Are cops jobs now just to interrupt crimes to alter their outcomes? Not, oh I don’t know, STOP it?
Sheriff Slupe says that this cop is a hero and that anyone who criticizes him is an “a-hole.”
“Can you imagine 10 seconds before that? That the president was looking straight ahead and where that bullet could have potentially landed,” the sheriff said.
The bullets did land on an innocent husband and father. Two others are still in a hospital and in stable condition.
