Security at State events

This was the point my friend made Sago - but nothing excuses recent lapses in security such as these.

We have had an entire cabinet bombed, and the fact the Queens intruder wasnt armed or dangerous was sheer fluke. I suspect their issues are more linked to their gun culture.

And yet the security snipers who actually shot the assassin were positioned on a roof that sloped even more than the killer’s roof.

Another Duh!

Get this!
THE US Secret Service did not put agents on the rooftop where an assassin shot at Donald Trump for health and safety reasons, the head of the agency has said.
Kimberly Cheatle, the Secret Service director, said that the “sloped roof” where Thomas Matthew Crooks was positioned on Saturday could have posed a risk to agents . “That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” she told ABC News on Tuesday. “And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside .”
Duh!

The best security is the security you cannot see.

You would be amazed at how many intelligence officers are in the crowd, in offices overlooking venues, on roofs etc.

Decades of dealing with the IRA means we are very good at security in the UK.

I dont know yhat there is any evidence that our security is better than Anericas is there. There is obviously differences in relation to gun culture but in terms of quality of security I have no idea. We have experienced a number if incidents over the years.

We haven’t had a Head of State, top politician, ex-Prime Minister or senior royal shot so on that basis the US is lagging well behind -Abraham Lincoln, JFK, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, Reagan, Trump….
Even Guy Fawkes didn’t get away with it.

Read the reports of the Trump shooting - heads will surely roll.

Good grief excuse the spelling/grammar.

I should think our American friends could learn a lot from our security teams. You don't need to visibly be swarming around someone, loaded with big guns to provide security.
