Because it's tres slimming?

[Emergencyawesome]

They want to look cool like Ninjas

[davius]

Why so racist? Your privilege is showing.

[BulletBobCo]

Matches the Raybans.

[RummyChick]

Is that normal??? Where were they when that guy was strolling around on the grounds?

[humblegunner]

Night shift?

[null and void]

It’s Tacticool™.

[Sacajaweau]

Check and see if they are in black every day.

[bk1000]

They are intended to be seen.

[Hat-Trick]

I’d like to think that those are just the ones you can see, but I’m not sure that President Trump has gotten to the bottom of that part of the swamp inhabited by the USSS.

[PLMerite]

Did you see the ones with the surface-to-air missiles?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Because if they wore pink, local SWAT teams would make fun of them.

[USNBandit]

The USSS has a uniformed division that provides much of the security at the WH. A uniformed presence is an important deterrent. Also, if anything happens, uniforms also help prevent fratricide.

Vanity...Just saw shot of White House, there are 8 S. S. guards on roof. Why are they in Black? They stand out as targets.

Targets???

Seriously???

Everybody knows that White House Secret Service is just for show.
It's not as if they'd ever really stop an intruder.

[camle]

they are meant to be seen. visible security serves as a deterrent. same reason police wear uniforms

[MrEdd]

Because when they wear white everybody sings that old ZZ Top song.

[PUGACHEV]

I remember when the 20th hijacker was being tried at the Alexandria EDVA Federal courthouse there were military type men in black outfits with their pant legs tucked into their boots around. The rumor was that there was some type of air defense on top of the courthouse for the occasion.

[PGR88]

Black is the new black

[norwaypinesavage]

I noticed when Obama was president, video of the White House at night always had the roof brightly lit, with the guards walking around dressed in black. This made no sense to me, since the guards would be blinded by the lights and would be nothing but targets. After January 20, the roof lights at night have been off.
