“No amount of government spending can buy quality leadership.”

Following the murder/attempt murder/officer involved shooting in Butler, PA on July 13, much as been made of one photo - a woman law enforcement officer who was part of the detail that went to the aid of former president Trump, who got him to his vehicle and evacuated him from the scene. The many unkind things said about her do not merit repeating. Let me give an educated opinion, based on 35 years of law enforcement experience and two separate on-the-ground operations in conjunction with the Secret Service - she did fine.
No errors, omissions or shortcomings (if any) she displayed had the slightest effect on the events of the day. As President Trump is loaded into a large SUV, she holsters a drawn pistol (properly) and takes up a position on the vehicle's exterior. Everyone who knows anything about ambushes knows that a decent adversary scouts an egress route and plans a second assault there. Since no one knew whether the shooter, by then deceased, was acting alone, another volley of rifle fire might be directed at the departing motorcade at any moment. There she stood.
Before you decide to take sides in this, let me axe ya... "Is it for his glory, or yours?" Does criticism of this agent demonstrate extreme insight into her job, or the biases of the critic?
