Trump shot at Rally.

i've heard about this, but this was a very hard image to find in spite of the notoriety

yes, the same agent who couldn't get her gun back in her holster ... is said to have declined to help protect Trump but instead ducked behind everybody else to save her own hide. If there is another explanation for this hard to find image, I don't have one

Maybe she was coming from stage left INTO danger, crouching so as to protect herself so she can enter the fight. We don't know her assignment. Looks to me, while watching the video, that her job was to watch for threats while the other agents covered Donny and evac'd him away, much like Robert Wanko did with his Uzi when Reagan was shot. I also point out the shooting has stopped by the time she entered the frame.

Why no comment about the female agent who came in from stage right and covered Donny? Or does her bravery not fit in to your female bashing?

Who said she declined to help protect Trump? Anyone willing to go on record?

Did you used to work in the Iraq propaganda department about 2002-3?

No. Just been around he block a few times and know enough not to believe "alternative facts"...

100% chance he comes back talking about trans people or something.

Shooter wasn’t using a scope.

Here's the video. EVERY single suited agent is coming in to protect Trump, in a crouch position. Even the first one, though he has a short distance.

It's not about the other agents, it's about the particular agent. In that video [use slo-mo] you can see the lady in question off-stage left at about 15 seconds in. She disappears soon and reappears at about 2:08. It's not clear how she got on stage, maybe there are steps in the back. If the image is real, it must have been taken from a different angle to a person who can see her when we can't see her here. It may be fake, the 'deepfakes' are really good now, but I don't see it factchecked at snopes or google news factchecks.

Again, I was interested in why it's hard to find. Makes DEI look bad?

Regarding DEI, did I express an opinion? Well, if I didn't, let me do so now. I can't think of anything more idiotic that having a DEI priority for the people who are supposed to be protecting the President of the United States. They should be the most qualified in every way, and for those directly in contact with the person protected, they should be in tip top shape. Any LEO... not just the most important ones like this... any LEO who is given a gun should be doing enough training with it that they are at least used to getting it in and out of the holster, evidence to the contrary like this means this person is a danger to everybody on the level of Alec Baldwin!

Defending her is choosing an odd hill to die on. I don't care what D.Jr. thinks.

Where’s the evidence she’s a DEI hire? Do male agents make mistakes? Do they get called DEI hires when they do? If not, why not?

Of course you don't care what DJr thinks, he ain't Lionel. If Don Jr changes his name to Thomas the Tank engine, will you listen to him 😀

This is total deflection from the real problem
Who was in charge of this operation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why wasn't there a procedure to secure that roof??????
You look at the little picture due to politics
I want to know who was in charge that day on-site
It could be a woman or man, I don't care
Probably some white guy thrilled Odious and Republicans giving him a pass

I saw Trump’s head, so I assume the tall men failed as well. Could have been a second shooter. They didn’t know that yet.

Exactly one of the problems with DEI !! If you hire *some* people because they checked the boxes, then the women [in this case] who would have gotten the job anyway are assumed to be not qualified.

I'd believe the woman we saw right next to Trump, who seemed to be well trained and know what she was to do, maybe was qualified to get the job. How many people assume she is not qualified because of the DEI priority?
