 A friend of mine who is in law enforcement texts me and says something doesn't sound right. The officer should have taken a shot at him or got on his radio and called the shooter. My interpretation of the way the AP reports this about this police officer is that the police officer did call as he was climbing down the ladder and the other Secret Service agents turned their guns towards that roof, but it was not quick enough and Crooks was able to get a shot off. The officer, however, climbed the ladder.
