I just have to wonder how the building the shooter climbed onto didn't have an officer on? Not enough security on the ground? Failure of leadership to ID a possible location of a threat? I'm not throwing out a conspiracy, just genuinely asking.

Protecting Leaders

Threats to our protectees constantly evolve and are exceedingly complex. Since our protective mission began in 1901, our protective work has expanded to not only include traditional physical protection, but also protection against threats from airspace, cyber systems and chemical and biological weapons.

How Protection Works

Permanent protectees, such as the president and vice president, have special agents permanently assigned to them. Temporary protectees -- such as presidential and vice presidential candidates or nominees and foreign heads of state -- are staffed with special agents on temporary assignment from our field offices. Protection for the President and Vice President of the United States is mandatory. All other individuals entitled to our protection may decline security if they choose.


Protective Intelligence

The protection of an individual is comprehensive and goes well beyond surrounding the individual with well-armed agents. As part of our mission of preventing an incident before it occurs, we rely on meticulous advance work and threat assessments to identify potential risks to protectees.

Eery how this aligns with yesterday's events in a couple of ways.

My major question regarding yesterday’s events is what idiot/ idiots approved a sight survey, leaving a rooftop under 200 yrds from the podium without either a couple of LEO’S up there or a video drone overhead?
This screams of incompetence!

That's what the movie blatantly points out without saying it.

My wife and I were on a way to a powwow when I saw the first news. I thought it was a false story that I saw it was developing and then later when I saw that it was a sniper, We didn't get home until almost eleven pm and we watched the movie. The movies available on netflix.

We had little to no signal at the Canadian Indian Pow wow grounds.So it was really hard for me to get information until we were on our way back home.

Maj Robert Thornton I saw a measurement of 130 yards from the roof to the stage. I don't think that's correct, but it's very disconcerting the rooftop was left unguarded.
