Well, it took me exactly three seconds to debunk this one.
@realDonaldTrump does NOT have to stay at the White House in order for the US Secret Service to use lethal force.
All cops already know why.

The US Secret Service is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) law-enforcement agency.
And HERE is the DHS guidance on the use of deadly force:
And HERE is the DHS guidance on the use of deadly force:
LEO = law-enforcement officer
"A DHS LEO may use deadly force only when the LEO has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to the LEO or to another person."

I thought this was common knowledge, but APPARENTLY NOT.
Here's what happens:
People think they're smarter than everybody else.
Because of that, they refuse to RESEARCH a concept before producing an absolutist statement on it.

I research EVERYTHING before I post it here.
Have you noticed that I've NEVER said that I'm "ahead of the curve"?
That's because I have to RESEARCH things before I write about them.

And THAT is why I don't put out research such as, "The US Secret Service will have to evacuate the White House if Trump isn't there!"
My bet is that the majority of BLM-Antifa think that Tim and Scott are right.

AGAIN, if there's a mass armed assault on the White House, THERE ARE NO RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
The White House is full of national-security equipment and documents.
The assaulters can expect THIS:

The assaulters can expect THIS:
First come the flares for illumination.
Then...
Then...
(Twitter is breaking up the thread in real time. Hold on.)
It would begin with US Secret Service snipers picking off the first few who got over the fence.
If that didn't stop them, the US Secret Service would use all THESE weapons.
Then finally we'd have the REAL firepower deployed.
Helicopter gunships.
Helicopter gunships.
And fixed-wing gunships.
Here's the 30mm cannon.
And the 105mm howitzer.
Finally, let's think about how utterly stupid it is to say that unless Trump is at the White House, the US Secret Service can use deadly force to defend it.
IF THERE WERE AN ARMED MASS ASSAULT, THEY'D EVACUATE TRUIMP.
They wouldn't keep him in the bunker.

Are they saying that AFTER they evacuate Trump, they ABANDON the White House?!
An armed mass assault on the White House is a national emergency, so whether Trump is there or not, THERE ARE NO RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
They use deadly force in self-defense.

Something to think about, BLM-Antifa.
