Dan Bongino just said the opposite. They’re allowed to neutralize a person who is aiming a rifle in the direction of the protectee.
I am sure that was the rule when Dan was serving, but this is under a Biden selected head of secret service. They need to ask flat out. What are the ROE?
Exactly. LE snipers needing a “green light” or authorization hasn’t been the case for decades. Since that 1970s SWAT TV show.
The only exception is a standoff, with negotiators etc...with exceptions.
They are still cops and have full authority to open fire when they see a man with a gun moving to kill ANYONE. No permission is needed.
But with this current USSS director woman, she might well have issued such orders, she’s a loose cannon. She dictated no red ties, how many females, etc etc.
But it was a police sniper, not SS.
They were allowed to do that last month, or up until this Get Trump operation was authorized.
Bongino show is on fire today. “No excuse, total failure” I agree
