Right. Cop will shoot you if he sees a gun. Cop will shoot you because he can’t see your hand. Even with the severely restricted ROE in the Afghan, a soldier could fire IF the person had a weapon. Again…. My ass
“The blowback against the Secret Service started within the hour of the assassination attempt and continued even after Trump and other credited the agency with saving Trump’s life by quickly killing a shooter crawling across a nearby rooftop.
But a source within the Secret Service community tells RealClearPolitics that the agency rules of engagement in this situation are to wait until the president is fired upon to return fire.
“You want to take a shot then find out the guy was holding a telescope?” the source suggested. “The Secret Service is by nature reactive…and you better be right when you do react or you’re f—–d.”
The Secret Service protocol requires that a counter sniper aware of a potential shooter to radio directly to intelligence division team to respond and investigate. In this case, the investigation may have been cut short by the shooter firing his weapon, so the counter sniper then fired as quickly as possible in return.”

Back when clinton was the asshole in office, I seem to remember that a guy jumped the fence at the White House and unloaded an AK-47 and was captured alive. With all the sniper nests around the White House, I always thought, How the hell did that happen?

Here’s comments with the record holder for the longest sniper shot EVER and who has done high level security protection details around the world.

This wasn’t a coinkidink. Like my contention in one of the other articles on this site, this was a planned hit by some agency whether .gov or other.
Here’s another strange thing. The kid allegedly appeared in a Black Rock ad that was taken down yesterday.
There are no coinkidinks especially 4 or 5 at the same site where murder of a high profile political figure was attempted.

For that matter, Hinckley was taken alive. I don’t recall if any shots were fired at him by SS, but if there were, they didn’t kill him. So now the whole world knows official ROE are that you get one free shot at the president. None of this absolves the SS of what I characterize as gross incompetence, and quite possibly.collsiion, to arrange for Trump’s death. But I do find the policy curious.
As the post stated, regular old cops anywhere in FUSA will shoot a [suspected] perp almost immediately on the sight or (or suspicion of same) of a weapon, especially a gun. And we are to believe SS agents are far more cautious and selective in who’ll they’ll shoot? Do come on now.

I do not believe the information in the above to be correct.

Specifically what part is incorrect? The ROE stating the SS won’t shoot first? Because if that’s what you’re referring to, I don’t think that’s correct either. I just cannot believe that is official SS policy.

Big D, Never, EVER reply to someone who will not identify themselves by either logging in or at least supplying a handle at the bottom of their post. If someone doesn’t want to “own” their comment, they’re not worth discourse with them. They’re probably some .gov weenie trying to cover their ass anyway.
