    Wrong. Should never had to respond. Also, took too long to get him off stage and having 5’4” women trying to shield is ridiculous.

    Textbook response, failure on the advance.
  • It's par for the course this guy is talking on ABC with George Stephanopoulos the Democrat Party operative.

    Let me get this straight - the shooter was on a roof that had a less than 10 degree angle...the Secret Service sniper was on a roof that had more than a 20 degree angle...but Cheatle claims they chose not to put agents on the AGR Intl rooftop because the slope was unsafe?
  • @Pilotpaulie
    There is no way that a high point like that could be ignored.

    Textbook response, unfortunately the textbook was from an elementary school.
  • lol, this guy is crazy. Our secret service needs to be disbanded and restored.
  • Secret Service hasn't been the same since it was pushed into the bloated bureaucracy of the DHS. Needs to return to Treasury where its resources aren't siphoned away to other functions.
  • Then maybe you should fix the TEXTBOOK, cus its obviously TRASH!!!
  • @melbournaut
    If this were a computer game even a team of greasy teens would know to watch that position
  • Dude acts like binoculars and scopes are UAVs and manning all nearby high ground are not a thing. If this was truly a textbook execution of security protocol...that textbook is woefully inadequate and needs a serious rewrite.

    Nothing says "evolution" like a lapse in security! Y'all sure do like your keywords, keywords are just for talkers though, compliments are for those that do good work, unlike George, who is just a talker!

    Why did the SS agents allow his head and hands to stay exposed?
