    Two things stand out that scream staged.

    The photographer were ushered into position just under the president right as the US flag was lowered into position in order to get the iconic photo of him with arm raises surrounded by secret service and the flag.

    Also somehow the official whiteboard photographer caught a pic of the bullet in mid flight just a foot behind his head

    I know journalists like to go to war zones and such but running towards the target of a shooting with no protective gear is not gonna happen. They also just kind of shimmied into position… There wasn’t any real panic

    Also the pic of the bullet is just too much… There’s no way

        No, you need to actually watch the videos, OP is right, its sketchy as all hell. It’s not like the photographers are already there, some G-Man directs the photographers into position like seconds after it happens.

        It was coordinated with whoever operated the crane to lower the flag.

        They lowered the flag so it was in the photo.

        It was coordinated.

        There’s a video of all this . You should watch it
