The guy was also pointing his gun at a whole lot of people who weren’t trump. Do you extend your statement to them too because they support trump? At least many of the media weren’t there to support trump. I’m sure at least some people were there to see the spectacle rather than support him. Should their value be disregarded as well just for being around the guy? I get the attitude that trump has asked for this. I don’t think it’s right to say everyone else there asked to be shot at too.
The basic problem I see is that we keep treating police like it’s their job to protect people and when they don’t we say, nah it’s ok, that’s not your job.
It’s very much not their job. They’ve effectively lobbied to make sure there are laws that say police are never obligated to help or protect anyone but themselves.
Anyone who dies for Trump wasted their one life completely.
I really don’t blame the secret service for their slow response lol, but I guess they did take the job…
This is not the secret service though, just a random cop
