BS meter going crazy.....
It is the Secret Service that trains the local police for each needed event. Got it?
Example: 2012 Obama vs Romney
The GOP convention was in Tampa, Florida. They had to come in early and train the local police to work the event with them in the ways that they do these events. They were going to have a welcoming party at Tropicana Field where the Rays play in St Petersburg, next door to Tampa.
I remember this because there was a funny aspect of it all. When the Secret service came in and trained the local law enforcement in St Petersburg for the Tropicana Field welcoming event, the St Petersburg Police had a strange request.
They wanted black uniforms like the Secret service. They were jealous and didn't feel like badasses because they wore green police uniforms. They went to City Hall and wanted them funded and changed. It was all jealousy. It was explained to the police that the uniforms were changed years back because the darker ones were too damn hot! The St Pete Police just wanted to be Men in Black. 🤣
This was the attitude change by local police after they were trained for that specific event by SS. Police don't do SS training therefore they are trained by the SS for each event they are hired to work. They are responsible for training them and should stop blaming them.
