I honestly don't get
why DRONES were not used to observe the roofs??
This is 21 century
and
this is the U.S.
Agreed, I've wondered that as well.
Given that the slope of the roof was so steep.
In an interview with ABC News, Cheatle said : "That building in particular has a sloped roof at it's highest point. And so, you know, there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof." She added , "The decision was made to secure the building from inside."
Red emphasis mine.
It's noticeable that she did not say whether it was the local LE or the secret service's decision ?
So, who made that call ?
Just asking.

Kimberly Cheatle blasted for 'BS excuse' that roof was 'too sloped'
Speaking to ABC News, Cheatle claimed agents were not positioned on top of the sloped building, deeming it too dangerous - despite images showing snipers set up on a sloped roof behind Trump.

My friend has a relative who is a roofing contractor.
To place new tiles, or repair damaged roofing tiles on steep inclines, they'll put temporary small pieces of rectangular wood (roof brackets) on the roof for the workers to have something to brace themselves.
As well as wearing a safety harness.
As the tiles are nailed down, the brackets are removed.
This shouldn't have been an impossible task to place someone on this roof, and also on the roof of the buildings behind and to the right of former president Trump ?
