This would be more useful if every failure were accompanied by an explanation of what a real presidential security detail would have been equipped with and done.

1. Real presidential security have a thing called a radio.

2. They don't subcontract their responsibilities to another agency. That alone looks like treason.

3. Beaver County snipers should have refused to provide security, given the obvious lack of interest on the part of the SS in protecting the president.

4. Beaver County snipers should have had someone on the roof. That failure also looks like treason.

5. BC snipers should have detained Crooks for a lengthy questioning. Failing that, they should have assigned a man to follow him around. I mean, they had an extra man--the cop who wasn't on the roof. That cop should have stuck to Crooks.

6. When a local cop climbed up to the roof and Crooks pointed his rifle at him, being tasked with protecting the president and the public, that cop should have drawn his gun instead of ducking and climbing down. I mean, what the hell?
