Do you have some data on the number of whites vs non-whites who have been shot?

Secret Service K-9 got to him first and he slammed the dog and started punching it, a few agents swarmed him shortly after that.

this is getting crazy. Sorry, poor dog took the brunt. If your over the fence you should come out in a body bag.

apparently you didn't see the video today at the Parliament in Canada..SS use small caliber ammo. Not every SS uniform is a running back of the NFL, and we know how they suck.

Can you imagine the field day that Faux Snooze would have if those Secret Service policemen started shooting someone from the White House lawn?

I can't even imagine how many times a day they would be replaying the video footage of an incident like that!!!!

its kind of tough to sort them out in advance. The Blair House assassination attempt on Truman left a uniform SS agent killed. Right now there isn't much between the wrought iron fence and the front door. Our embassies are better protected.

Admittedly they were treating him like a favorite chew toy, but his nutty ass deserved it.

According to reports, a man made it over the White House fence today before he was taken down by a U.S.S.S. dog. Although reports say the Secret Service responded quickly, video from the incident shows the man was not immediately surrounded.

The man managed to kick one dog and repeatedly punch and wrestle another dog before Secret Service agents ultimately subdued him.
