Secret Service agents protecting President Joe Biden’s granddaughter have opened fire after three people tried to break into an unmarked Secret Service vehicle in Washington.
Obviously this is not the case here, but the reason that I assume they didn’t care to ask questions is because it was apparent that their intention was crime, the extent of it remained unknown to the servicemen at the time.
Now I’m not justifying it through “could’ve been anything”
But imagine if they had more nefarious intentions rather than the probable Nintendo Switch sitting on the passenger seat or something like that. And that’s the issue with accidentally fucking with a nation head’s family. There is very little/no lenience.
Unless you’re buddies with the sheriff in the middle of farmtown; you’re going to have to explain the trajectory of your bullets being the wrong way around for self defense.

It’s not just secret service. There’s plenty of private citizens who’d open fire, no questions asked, on someone breaking into their car.
or shoot someone for pulling into their driveway by mistake
And assuming there’s nobody else around but me and the guy breaking into my car…
