It’s a multi-billion dollar agency, and the level of protection afforded to Trump was less than what he’d have with a regular infantry platoon of mostly 18-22 year old joes. And it’s shocking that, in a multi-agency effort with decentralized comms, there doesn’t seem to have been any kind of clear alert signal that could have been communicated. Something along the lines of, “if you see the ONE thing we’re here to protect against, say/do X.” |

State and local LE obviously on their own nets if interagency comms don't exist (which is certainly believable). At that point, why would you not have a command post with, at minimum, liaisons and "controllers" who have the capability to monitor their own nets and relay information in a timely manner to the people who need it? Something like the modern ICS, while maybe not directly applicable, is built to deal with issues like this and ensure maximum unity of effort. Why is there apparently no C2 when dealing with something as serious as protecting a former President and Presidential candidate. This is just serious fucking incompetence for these problems to exist in the first place. View Quote I can't say anything at the moment other than SS needs to stop with this inner core BS and needs to greatly expand their coverage. Relying on local LE to cover threat sights is not enough. |

By virtue of the fact Crooks bought the ladder tells me he did some preplanning (as well as the IED idea). It would also indicate he acted alone because the ladder and ammo were bought at the last minute, spontaneous. Two or more people would've had all these details worked out ahead of the rally.

Some things were simpler: other things were far more complex. Can you imagine today's kids trying to figure out what they should tell their parents when they wanted to leave the house, with no cell phones, learning how to figure out how to make contact, and how you found your friends? Would the concept of "you have a collect call from *mom I'm at the mall click*" mean a darn thing to them? |
