I detest Trump and everything he stands for but I used to work on hotel details with the @SecretService and I have a high regard for them. Trump's presidency is finished. Let the Secret Service stand down and get some rest. Please. #DCProtests
The one thing I recall from working around them is having the impression that if you do something bad, they will shoot you. They're not some untrained local cops. They're serious law enforcement. With lots of firepower. And military back up.
They let me into the command center for low-level head of state protective detail. Impressive and that was pre Al-Qaeda. The good old days.
I have been politically active since I was a boy. I've never been to a demonstration. My sister and brother went to DC for Vietnam.

It was never something I wanted to do. Maybe because my family are law enforcement types it would never occur to me to go to a place where people are destroying property and torching cars. I would flee from it.
