The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on May 21 and was captured on video, showing the officers exchanging blows and shoves. One of them, visibly agitated, used her radio to request the presence of a supervisor, warning that “I need a supervisor here… immediately before I beat this girl up.”
The past couple of years have not been good for the Secret Service’s reputation. They used to seem like they were the elite, now they come across as bad as any law enforcement organization.
Well it doesn’t help that they’re recruiting through YouTube and Plex ads, and candidates have disclosed Trump loyalty questions during the interview process.
Not being very secret either
Mostly made up of former cops, so it all tracks
The article said:
Journalist Susan Crabtree posted video and audio of the altercation on Twitter, noting that the incident took place about two miles from the White House.
So I went to look for her twitter post in her profile, and I just have to say, what the fuck is up with that lady? She’s supposed to be a Journalist?
She even blamed the fight between the secret service officers on diversity, equality and inclusion.

So, not a journalist, just another propagandist pig.
Ah, from the Breitbart school of “journalism.”
Clearly they were probably on their period and this is why we need to ban DEI.
/s obviously
There are no more adults in government rn. America is devolving into Lord of the Flies.
Oh perfect. I GOT THE CONCH.
many may have a conch but mine is THE Conch and I have it.
ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH!
Isn’t the whole point of Lord of the Flies that the adults ain’t better and any level of civilisation is just a thin layer on top? From the beginning that the boys told themselves they were the social elite and had civilized manners, which would make it easy for them to retain civilization to the end
spoiler
where the captain of the army ship that rescued them just asked something along the line of “what have you boys been up to? Playing war?”
The point of Lord of the Flies is that the upper class are always brutal savages.
Unlikely that he was that focused on the upper class. The author was the headmaster of a boy’s C of E grammar school. Based on his other work, I’d say he had a pessimistic view of human nature in general.
This, and that modern civilization is only four collective missed meals away from brutality.
Thats largely untrue though. In crises people come together. The term academics use is “spontaneous self organization”. It’s really just the upper classes who turn to brutality at every possible opportunity.
Having grown up in a poor working-class area, the only spontaneous self-organization I ever witnessed was the formation of gangs. It’s not just the toffs. It’s just that their privilege lets them get away with it more often.
I mean, to some extent that’s exactly what gangs are.
I mean it varies from place to place, but often gangs are semi organized groups of people with the primary goals of protecting their territory and funding their operations. Often their territory is otherwise underserved by police protection, so taking personal action feels necessary.
I would think it shows that even the upper class is. That would be contrary to general opinion at the time. Although lower classes weren’t part of the story, it doesn’t exempt them.
It’s a story. There was a real life group of boys that got stranded and they got along just fine.
There was also a soccer team whose plane crashed in the Andes, and even they got along fine. Even with the cannibalism.
The Praetorian Guard is starting to fight amongst itself … that’s usually not a good sign for the empire.
Okay say what you want about the praetorian guard, but they were much cooler than anything the secret service is rocking.
Say what you want about uniforms, but the praetorian guard didn’t have these:
Eh, they say that gun was a DEI hire. They’ll get rid of it.
They’ll get rid of it.
A gun? In this country? It’s got more rights than most of us.
Until someone points out the gun is black!
Best I can do is an AR-15 with a 3d printed bicycle mount.
Unfortunately that doesn’t look as cool as a roman chariot with some spears, IMO.
I think there’s some coolness potential for an e-trike modified in the fashion of a technical
A horseless carriage with laser spears
Motorcycle chariot races are actually a real thing. Just need to add some modern weaponry.
Now we’re talking
Gay E-trike technical vs Fascist cyber trecnical when?
The tank that looks like a car…that looks like a tank.
The Jackal would be jealous, his minivan didn’t look nearly that hot.
Talking bout mah boi b. Willy!
Holy shit, is that a minigun?
Yes it is. That isn’t a Denali, it’s an APC.
Disgusting to see that this is being reported on as a DEI issue through the twitter link.
secret service - public drama
WORLDSTAR!
This is absolutely hilarious to me in its randomness. Pure Onion headline.
