WTF?
Ms Pearson, during her testimony to the Congress, commended the agents for using proper "restraint." When I heard her say this, my first reaction was ....hmmm, sounds like she's an idiot and in over her head

Then I asked what should be an obvious question ... when an intruder penetrates the White House fence and is running towards the building, how come no one dropped the guy with 1 or 2 shots??
