BDPelton — X Posts

@BDPelton is a citizen commentator whose July 2026 security-staffing posts are cited across the site's security-failure pages. The account's core contribution is keeping the staffing arithmetic in public view: how few officers covered the event, and who — if anyone — owned the rooftops. All items below are attributed public claims about coordination and staffing, not findings that any named person intentionally enabled a killing.

Claims from X posts

  • Argued (reply thread, July 10, 2026) that despite known death threats, campus police fielded only six UVU officers, rooftops were not secured, and the hired firm Integrity Solutions (associated in posts with Brian Harpole) also failed to control elevated positions — cited on UVU Campus Police.
  • Restated the same staffing picture against the death-threat context on Integrity Security and No Counter-Snipers — six officers plus private staff, with the high ground left an obvious unowned zone (Perimeter and Rooftop Failures).
  • Pressed the question of whether Harpole verified the campus rooftop commitment after the reported "I got you covered" exchange with Chief Jeff Long — recorded as commentary on the Brian Harpole profile.
  • Included among the accounts framing the event footprint — six UVU PD, ~12 private detail, rooftops unsecured, alleged drone denial — on the UVU speaking event location page.

Investigative value

The account adds little new primary evidence but performs a durable function: it keeps rooftop jurisdiction and staffing framed as first-order law-enforcement questions rather than private-security-only failures. Its numbers match the figures other researchers track, making it a useful index of the consensus citizen-side staffing claims.
