And then there’s that.
Talk that the Secret Service applies a ‘shoot only after being shot at’ ROE policy.
Absolute copy of Soetero’s ROEs in Afghanistan where US troops couldn’t fire unless they were fired upon. Got kids killed.
Different terminology, depending are where you’re trained, on Deadly/Lethal Force:
Ability …. Bad guy has the means to kill or seriously injure
Opportunity …. bad guy is close enough to kill/injure …. If he has a bat and is 100yds away-NO. If he has a rifle and he’s 100yds away-Possibly
Jeopardy ….. bad guy acts in a way that could kill/harm since he has the ABILITY and he has OPPORTUNITY ….. ie - he crawls on a roof 150ish yards away, in a place he’s not supposed to be nor has a reason to be …. and he places a life/lives in JEOPARDY by pointing a rifle
They had all three for a while before he pulled that trigger. Secret Service should have pulled Pres Trump off the stage and sent a team on the roof before he pulled the trigger.
Hell, they knew about him before he got on the roof. Could have dealt with him on the ground.
Could been completely avoided
[[Hell, they knew about him before he got on the roof. Could have dealt with him on the ground]]
Exactly. Going through airport security, they pull people out of line for way way less suspicious activity, and bring them to back room to interrogate them. Weird how vigilant and thorough airport security is, but how lackadaisical the team “protecting” pres Trump were.
