Sad to say that the FBI looks inept.
Perhaps Jasmine Crockett was correct, LE is not there to prevent crimes, it’s there to solve crimes.

LE is not there to prevent crimes, it’s there to document crimes.

Law enforcement could not possibly ‘prevent’ most crimes from happening. There are too few of them, and too much crime.

What prevents crime is the ‘threat’ of getting caught, and the deterrence of a long prison sentence. If there is little chance of getting caught and the consequences are not severe, then crime will increase.

Cops on the streets act as that deterrence to getting caught.

In this case, the security was pretty lame. 6 officers for a crowd in the thousands seems a bit light. Even if just for potential medical emergencies, 6 officers is light. And no ambulance on site? We need an ambulance on site for a high school football game. I think the campus security needs some Emergency Management training. But all that stuff costs money and they won’t spend it.

I have contested recently that LE'S role has become that of a historian. Neither solving or preventing, but making a record and taking accounts.
