My assessment is that (in that photo, MediaMole) those several standing immediately by the President as he approaches the fray are not USSS, but rather, Chilean protection service amd[protocol types. Further, if the USSS were standing next to him, I am sure they may have blocked the President from getting into the fray. He's walking over pretty much on his own here.

I agree. And you can see, NOBODY has their eyes trained on the President.

NOBODY has their eyes trained on the President.

Since when is it the job of the SS to look at the President? It's their job to recognize and neutralize the threat.

If their eyes were on the President, I'd presume they weren't SS, and were a potential danger.
