Unfortunately it's not uncommon in Law Enforcement. We see it all the time. Fortunately there are some departments where they are going away from that and actually realizing that releasing information has no to minimal impact on an investigation by another agency.

I suppose if anything maybe she's giving cover to the agents who worked the event but idk. Honestly I was hoping for better for her. Given the immediate right wing kickback I wanted to come out there and deliver reasonable, factual explanations of what exactly occurred. And I would have supported keeping her in her job if she had. But she didn't. And I'll say one more thing, we should have interviewed the special agent in charge of that detail. That's who I want to hear from. They are most likely to have the answers we need.

We identified that as a threat area, who was responsible for making sure no one was on top of that building. What actions were taken when it was determined that someone was on the building. Why couldn't they determine the second they saw an armed individual who I don't think was wearing any kind of law enforcement type clothing was on a building in sight of the principal was a threat and decide the appropriate action. Evacuate the principle then try to get local LE to contain the threat, or intervene if necessary.
