Got no beef with the Secret Service. Their just doing their job.
The secret service is subject to the Bill of Rights too!
Bull crap. Their job is to protect the Constitution.
Yeah, ya gotta watch those assault camera phones. Next thing you know, proud 0b0z0 supporters will be enlarging the pictures and putting them on their mantels.
Does the First Family want to be idolized and worshipped or not? They should make up their minds.
So what. Are taking pictures of people illegal in a public forum/square? What justification gives the SS the right to seize private property that causes no harm to those they are protecting? The first family encroached on the public square, so now the public must be subservient to a public servant's family?
How monarchical in nature, and I don't care how hard the SS job is, they chose it, people were awarded freedom instead of submission back in the day, so be it. If they are too paranoid just stay home instead of crapping on the IV Amendment, which you support so the SS can play "power trippers" and "relax".
Have you rethought that since?
Assume nothing. Do you remember the secret service agent who was stopped from heading to Crawford TX shortly after 9/11, (while Bush was there on vacation,) armed, and without proper authorization, and with a book about radical Islam on his person? The incident was dumped down the memory hole, and no followup ever reported. But I remember.
This report about SS agents resorting to Nazi tactics should not be shrugged off. They are, after all, only cops with a federal badge. They are not exempt from the Bill of Rights.
