The 5:12 is steep enough for gravity to overcome friction. A hammer or anything placed on that roof will slide off. Not so on the 3:12. Can walk around on that......no problem. Roof in question looks to be flatter than that........maybe 2:12. A little steep for a golf green or basketball court, but stuff isn't going to slide off it.....including uniformed agents of the federal government. Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

I built chicken house's in '85, that slick tin i can't tell how many times i slide off the side and had to walk all the way down to the other end where the ladder was to get back on! We're not talking about falling off the empire state building! Not my circus, not my clowns.

Perp didn't have any trouble laying on it and the shooters that took him out didn't have any trouble standing on it. I've ran conduits over hundreds of buildings like that. No more difficult than standing on the ground. Are these people that disconnected? The answer to that is of course, yes. That SS head woman never climbed a ladder and got on a roof in her life. Bet she'd be scared to. She probably advanced her career the same Kamala Harris did.

And I also have seen the photo with three or four law enforcement standing on the roof around the shooters body. They didn't seem to have any problems with the pitch of the roof. NCTA, FTA, FBU,NTA

This is what I can tell ya. With the wrong footwear stay on the ground. Any soft rubber sole w/o deep tread is idea. Unless there are some other environmental factor like ice or fine dust like a big feedlot generates (think air born sugar sand). I seriously doubt ice or fine particulate would be an issue during the month of July or anywhere east of the Mississippi. Places that have that issue are Amarillo, Guymon, Garden City, or Chadron (the panhandle / feedlot belt). �What�s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.� Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers
