If an ordinary citizen, or even an ordinary police officer opened fire on people attempting to break into an unoccupied car, without other extenuating circumstances, they would be in serious trouble.

As would shooting and killing a trespasser in the Capital.

[Dan in Wichita]

Especially if the people breaking into the car were black and the people firing the guns were white. It would become an international story quickly.

C’mon....be serious here. I don't have the first clue who this kid is or how decent (or filthy) she might be. But the last thing we want is for a member of his family to be physically harmed. If it happened the narrative at MSLSD would be “see,it was MAGA extremists”. And it would ensure a Rat Party sweep next year.

[bigfootbob]

Agreed. I also would think, where’s the bodies?

You have Secret Service agents, trained to be the omnipresent and omnipotent guardians of our “esteemed” leaders who can’t shoot straight?

This is going to cause some heads to roll, IMHO.

It is cause for concern too because the same agency is responsible for protecting President Trump.

[DeplorablePaul]

Yes. Normally using deadly force to protect property is deemed unreasonable. Nowhere in this story does it say the agents or Biden was threatened with a weapon. If the DC police give the SS agents a pass, it will be another example of two tiered justice for the privileged elite.

[Eagles6]

Yep, but these were protecting the pResident’s kin, so it’s all good and becuse the agent was such a poor shot no one was injured, anyhow./sarc

That's what jumped out at me too. Also, the headline is very misleading, but I'm not surprised by that (See Tagline.).
