The amount of crossfire is amazing. A new video emerged and the gunman was let in with a trained K-9 sniffing behind him.

Making it hard to believe this many gunmen were around our President. It’s gross negligence.

They need to be moved back under the treasury department. It’s been completely downhill since the left their oversight. Now they have five different superiors instead of one so nothing gets done in regards to accountability

A cosplaying Marxist democrat who has zero knowledge of guns beyond a few video games. That’s why it’s so funny when these dweebs talk about civil war.

That’s incredible and watch. How has this guy not been fired? He was looking directly in the guys direction and turned just as he ran out with a shotgun

They are required to requalify once each quarter so 4 times a year with no required range time inbetween.

During requalification courses, they are required to shoot under stress inoculation.

I would question this officers certs and the trainer/s critiquing and scoring them.

Makes as much sense as anything. But supposedly he just took a round of buck shot to the chest. Weird shite happens.

I'm going to say we would probably be surprised how little range time the SS gets after being initially qualified.

That’s such a stupid low bar.

They should have hours and hours of range time. I have a feeling the scores allowed are unreasonably low.

The presidential protection detail should be elite. In no way shape or form should it be leaving roofs unattended, not securing the perimeter of a fricking golf course owned by the president, and they can’t even do security for an event right at this point.

Central casting or inside job are my conclusion after watching that. It looks like the perp and k-9 handler are having a conversation

I give a ton of respect to the agent on the golf course a couple years back who took down the sniper and Im sure some of the agents are competent, but there's no reason to believe the USSS is a high functioning organization right now.

In this video, you’ll see an officer with a dog challenge the armed suspect and even have a conversation with him before he runs through the checkpoint.

The time mark is at 4:13.



In this video, you’ll see that Vance is pulled from his chair 12 seconds after the first shot.

At 22 seconds after the first shot, the President is still in an elevated position waiting for secret service to move him.

The audience is already getting low and under tables giving possible shooters a clear line of sight to the President.

You try shooting a moving target after getting blasted with buckshot in your chest. I bet you it isn't as easy as you think.

In their defense, Allen was running full speed and hauling arse! Hitting a moving target is tough, but yes I expect better out of the USSS.

If anything this whole incident is on that K-9 handler. The dog clearly hit on the shooter and was moving towards him and you don’t even stop & question the guy?

Yes, I've watched the video several times. My 9 year old is not your typical 9 year old as well. Been shooting a pistol for almost 3 years already. Shot his 1st deer at age 6, a 180 yard shot with an AR-15 and put it in the heart.

What I'm saying is that my 9 year old has trained enough with guns that I would feel confident in his ability to make that shot. So, I am questioning the ability and training of these officers and the SS.
