It is a bit ironic. You have some police with twitchy trigger fingers shooting/killing innocent people or criminals who didn't deserve to be shot, yet the SS can't take out a single shooter in time, aiming for a political candidate/President.

The difference is if the cop doesn't act soon enough, he or others may lose their lives, where as if the SS acted too soon, and weren't certain the person on the roof had a gun (aimed at Trump), it would've very likely ended Trumps chances at winning the election if they weren't armed.

Both scenario's are never ideal and will always have the possibility of ending in the worst way, some amount of the time. The hope is that it happens as little as possible. The world is a messy place unfortunately.

oh bullshit. January 6 didn't end Trumps career and the secret service shooting someone under questionable circumstances would not have

either. You vastly over-estimate the level of care both Trump supporters and the american public would have about this.

Assuming the media was honest about what happened to start I guess. With recent headlines like Trump fell and was helped off stage by the SS, I can see why some amount of Americans may not really care at all. At least until they found out what was really going on. Then they certainly should care.

Americans wouldn't care about an innocent spectator getting gunned down though? Doesn't that go directly against the point you made prior, about innocent people being gunned down by police who made mistakes and how much of a problem that is, especially for certain demographics who have to deal with it? In both circumstances potential lives are at risk, so I don't see why Americans would care about one situation but not the other.
