I think the Secret Service has authority to shoot people attacking those whom they are assigned to protect.

My question is, and I haven’t seen this brought up yet: HOW did the Secret Service let these jackasses get CLOSE ENOUGH to attack Trump’s motorcade, much less his car. And what would the SS actually do if someone tried to smash the car’s windows or fire-bomb it? Seems the Secret Service is a pretty emasculated bunch these days.
One of these groups is going to break that threshold, and are going to be very surprised.
