Edit: I couldn't find a case where the USSS took on trespassers. I can only find preventative measures.

2 0 ReplyAkrenion @slrpnk.net I am undecided wether pointing that out was necessary. I just made an offhand comment and you did too. I did not think you were implying something. Hope I didn't cause distress.
3 0 ReplyIsoprenoid @programming.dev Nah, you're right to have pointed it out, especially because of the circumstances. No distress here. ☮

barsquid @lemmy.world I think typically people use "USSS" for this reason.

Ashli Babbitt got shot full on by the secret service after attempting to force entry into the Speakers' Lobby. After being repeatedly warned by secret service that they will be shot if they press forward, Zachary Alam broke the window and Babbitt attempted to rush in past the broken glass. Then she got shot. Big surprise.

Ashli Babbitt isn't an example of the USSS taking down a threat. Your source claims:
she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.
The USCP isn't the USSS (by my understanding, which is based on Wiki). I understand that the USSS were present at Jan 6 though, so your point stands.

dejected_warp_core @lemmy.world At first I thought that was a typo. But yes, this most certainly took place on land.
