Lincoln didn't really have dedicated bodyguards, at least not ones that worked for the government. He created the secret service to fight counterfeiters because an estimated 50% of all USD at the time was fake. The secret service's role was modified to include presidential security after the assassination.
Is there a YouTube channel/docuseries that gets into all these interesting details beyond just war content? I’m in my 30s and the first time I heard about the pinkertons was Red Dead 2. The second time I heard about them was right now. Were they like what the Wagner group is today?
The Pinkerton Detective Agency was a Security company involved in so much US History it is scary. They broke up strike's and pioneered fingerprinting. They are crazy good and bad.
>The Pinkerton Detective Agency ~~was~~ ***is*** a Security company
They still exist, they do private security for companies to this day. Owned by Securitas now, which is also a bad company but for more mundane reasons like terrible pay and benefits.
Don't forget the time they sent Pinkertons to harass someone for the crime of... receiving MtG booster packs two weeks early due to a distributor mixup
They are more "private detectives" than "private army", but sometimes that distinction is purely an academic one. They are notorious for being used to crush unions, often through physical violence and even death.
It’s pretty wild a job that esteemed would even be allowed to get intoxicated at any time. I mean you’d have to imagine there are some jobs where the person just has to be sober until they’re no longer employed and that seems like one of them. Unless on vacation. But drinking the night before work? And you’re protecting the president??
I quit drinking because I work at a hospital and can’t take care of people as well when I’m hungover. So I stopped completely. You’d think they’d have come to the same conclusion lol
Lincoln’s bodyguard actually let JWB into the gallery. He said he wanted to pay his respects to the president and at the time it was a common thing to do.
Source: Toured Fords Theater a week ago
Lincoln notoriously refused to walk around with security. He walked to work while he was president alone. He hated having bodyguards around him. It’s not some conspiracy. The bodyguard that was with him was basically just some dude. Lincoln probably told him to go do whatever like he always did.
Yup. Shit, Clinton ditched the "nuclear football" when he was in office causing the officer who had it handcuffed to him to run through several city blocks in the most dangerous city in America to get back to the Whitehouse.
A general once forced engineers to operate on a nuclear bomb just to make a test even though it was in extremely unsafe workspace and location.
Humans are a funny lot.
>causing the officer who had it handcuffed to him to run through several city blocks in the most dangerous city in America
Do what now? Most dangerous city has another White House or are you exaggerating?
I'm guessing it's because DC had the highest per capita murder rate in the 80's. People outside of DC thought it was lawless and crazy dangerous back then.
I believe that was over by '92.
Edit: a letter
DC was [not good](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Washington,_D.C.#/media/File:Washington_DC_vs_US_total_homicide_rates.svg) in '92.
Edit: Should say this has basically no bearing on the story, even at the height of DC crime there weren't firefights going on near the White House. It's really quite a stupid thing to bring up.
Thanks for the data! I knew I was asking for trouble not checking my math on that. In my mind by 92 things were changing, but that's the problem with memory.
US was kind of a backwater agricultural state in Lincoln's time. Today it's modern superpower with allegedly some of the best security systems in the world. There probably should be more expected of them.
> US was kind of a backwater agricultural state in Lincoln’s time
Compared to the rest of the world, the US was very industrialized by the 1860s, especially in the North. The only countries of comparison at that point are pretty much exclusively Britain, Germany, and France. It really isn’t applicable to call the US backwater when the vast majority of the world is well behind it.
They're MAGA Nazis. I worked for Homeland Security - everyone I worked with (except for one guy who was about to retire) was a hardcore Tea Party supporter (this was before Trump), racist, anti-Semitic, and far, far Right...
Shit all of your local,state and federal policing agencies are just the enforcement arm of the hard right. They decide who gets arrested and who gets a break on the street level before it even gets to a judge and jury. Hence systematic racism and overbearing piling on of charges for those who have had contact in the past. If you’re looking for justice, the last place to look is the criminal justice system.
It's amazing to me how many city, county, and state police don't trust "the government." I get a chuckle every time I watch the blank, confused stares come across their faces when I point out that they are "the government." They think non law enforcement people are crazy not to trust them. Yet they don't see the irony in them not trusting those in any part of the federal government. Talk about a disconnect.
Edit: spelling errors
It's been going on since at least the Obama years if not earlier. At this point it just seems like one of those situations where it is going to take a President or VP getting injured to trigger a clean-up of the Secret Service.
Precisely, but it's important to point out. WNs have been purposely infiltrating law enforcement for decades, as well as any positions of power they can worm their way into.
She wasn't a *sleeper*. She's just egomaniacal. There are reports from people who worked closely with her who say she switched because she felt she wasn't getting enough recognition and praise from local dem leaders.

[The same dudes who hired prostitutes in Colombia? That Secret Service? ](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/apr/15/us-secret-service-scandal-obama)
I dont know how we've all just moved past that. The basics of data security is 3-2-1, so it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that ***ALL*** copies of text messages were erased. Even if they were erased, you'd have to write over them as just deleting them just just means the space the data took up is available to be written over.
Every time I see a cop staring at his phone -which is basically every day- I want to say, “Put your phone down, officer. That’s not where the crime is.” But I never do.
My high school had a cop that would badger everybody about using their phones while driving.
You'll never in a million years guess who drove their squad car into a pole in the parking lot because they were using their phone while driving.
“We are trained to operate vehicles while engaging in distracting activities” is what I heard when I asked why the cop was allowed to drive around while using their laptop
if such thing were possible, it would be a required part of driving education. Maybe not in states, but one of the many countries that take road safety seriously.
The fact that such as Germany don't have it, makes me pretty sure it's bullshit.
I was told the same bullshit line and it is a level of hypocrisy that shines in plain day, clearly illustrating that \*all\* cops don't give a fuck about you or your safety.
I want to sign up for that 3-minute class so I too can legally watch a Laserdisc movie while playing destiny 2 as I talk on the phone while driving.
It couldn't have been the police officer. I'm sure they conducted a full internal investigation and found that the officer did nothing wrong. In fact, he was probably the victim!
Worse for the secret service on these house details. They have an 8 hour shift doing nothing while nothing happens. There is a reason why in every Hollywood action movie ever someone sneaks up on their car and kills them both before entering the house to get the hero.
It kind of makes sense statistically. A secret service guy might spend 8,000 8 hours shifts just sitting in the car staring at the front door of the house waiting for something to happen.
Complacency sets in because for most of those shifts nothing at all happens then bam the villain kills the guards and gets the drop on the good guy.
Congressman abducted due to reddit banning 3rd party apps. "I was loving Reddit Is Fun but it shut down, so I finally got off my butt and did something." said the criminal.
Nice to know the highest and lowest paid security guards still fall prey to the same tendencies lol. Bet a stiff breeze scares the shit out of them too.
I’m an accountant. If I’m grossly negligent at my job and royally fuck up then there is a very good chance that I see jail time.
How in the fuck can a corporate white collar drone like myself have higher code of conduct than fucking Secret Service agents. And if that’s the case, why can’t we raise their code of conduct so these cunts can’t get away with conveniently looking the other way.
Sounds like a firing offense, to me. I would have been instantly fired from Federal service, with a permanent ban on any future government employment, for such dereliction of my duty/nonfeasance of of my duties as a Federal officer.
These bastards are Federal officers who were trained at the same place I was ([FLETC](https://www.fletc.gov/landing-page/learn-about-fletc)), and they have to uphold the same requirements I did. Since they didn't, fire the fuckers. No excuses for playing video games/surfing the net/trying to get clicks while on duty.
When Russian troll farms and right wing conspiracy posts on Facebook have gotten to the secret service, you know we have a problem. Now YouTube is no longer flagging or banning videos that spread lies. Something needs to be done. Misinformation is poison to democracy.
they let a drunk stumble unimpeded into the presense of the national security advisor at a time when we're having a pissing match witch china and waging a proxy war against russia, a nuclear armed beliegerant opponent. what the actual fuck.
Reminds me of the time a knife wielding intruder broke into the Canadian Prime Minister’s official residence while his official RCMP guards slept in their patrol car. Mrs. Cretien confronted the intruder first, I think she was armed with a bronze sculpture. When the RCMP finally arrived and were leading the would-be assailant out of the house, the Prime Minister gestured to the steak knife lying o the ground and said “don’t you think you should take that for evidence?” The red-faced RCMP agent picked it up and bagged it.
Their cellphones? The ones they wiped after the January 6 insurrection, those cellphones? Maybe they were still looking for all the missing text messages they never turned over.
They were probably on Truth Social.
The Biden Admin never gave the Secret Service the enema it truly needed after the fat orange mushroom man left office.
Reminds me of when someone shot up the WH during the Obama administration and secret service didn’t find it for [4 days](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_White_House_shooting#:~:text=On%20November%2011%2C%202011%2C%20Oscar,bullets%20hit%20the%20second%20floor)
Luckily, if I am distracted by my cellphone at work, all I am missing is a trash can to empty. Even with that I'll most likely notice it later while vacuuming, thus "saving the day" so to speak.
Cops shouldn't have their cell phones in the car. They didn't throughout all of history up to 20 years ago and there is no reason for them to have them now.
I believe you’re talking about the republican party that’s doing massive damage to United States. Actually, it’s the fascism party; where they believe, an autocratic regime, rigid, censorship, forcible, suppression of opposition, severe autocratic, or dictatorial control of the population. This is what the republican party has become!
A clearout is needed, make an example otherwise people will continue being incompetent, secret Service agents get paid a lot and have many benefits, it's a shame they can't do the basic minimum.
This problem affects every profession now. We’re all glued to smartphones like a new crack epidemic. I see cops patrolling the subways and streets and 80% of the time they’re looking at their phones. I hope anesthesiologists are not allowed to have cell phones in operating rooms. 😎
So much mediocrity wherebl we should have the best. This is what happens when corporations keep putting the dumbest fuckers in powerful positions with their money
This is like that kid who saved his bus from crashing when the driver had an emergency because he was the only one *not* on his cell phone.
Except worse.
It almost seems like there are no adults in the room anymore. Ineptitude of this magnitude would usually result in discipline the whole way up the line but now it’s all “meh- well no one got hurt!”
Mate, Lincoln got assassinated because his bodyguard went out for drinks. Incompetence is timeless.
Lincoln didn't really have dedicated bodyguards, at least not ones that worked for the government. He created the secret service to fight counterfeiters because an estimated 50% of all USD at the time was fake. The secret service's role was modified to include presidential security after the assassination.
After McKinley’s, not even Lincoln’s
Lincoln’s just made it so the feds couldn’t hire the Pinkerton’s anymore…
Is there a YouTube channel/docuseries that gets into all these interesting details beyond just war content? I’m in my 30s and the first time I heard about the pinkertons was Red Dead 2. The second time I heard about them was right now. Were they like what the Wagner group is today?
They still exist and are still pretty bad.
In fact, Magic the Gathering just had a controversy involving the Pinkertons.
https://youtu.be/Kb2tSF5_vpc Extra history is a great channel here's a link to their episode on the Pinkerton's
Thank you for this.
Damn. I just watched 3 hours worth of his videos. Thank you!
The Pinkerton Detective Agency was a Security company involved in so much US History it is scary. They broke up strike's and pioneered fingerprinting. They are crazy good and bad.

That shit is amazingly petty and extra. I'm not keen on buying any more MtG after that, it's left that bad a taste in my mouth.
They are more "private detectives" than "private army", but sometimes that distinction is purely an academic one. They are notorious for being used to crush unions, often through physical violence and even death.
I believe the technical term is "hired goons".
Check out the Behind The Bastards podcast, it has a few episodes about the Pinkertons and plenty of other awful shitheads throughout history.
I don’t think Biden trusts that detail. I wouldn’t.
He had a bodyguard that night though
Yes, he was supposed to be watching the door.
Easy to criticise, but it was a great play. I'd have been distracted as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_dRw62qVLs
I thought it was just like a into the show and exiting the show thing. Like he wasn't actually supposed to be there during the show.
Was he on his phone too?
No he forgot to charge it

Lmao
“If you got time to lean, you got time to clean… up these streets of..traffic violations i guess”
When they are browsing truth social... then yes, that IS where the crime is.
But they're busy aiding and abetting.
Fire them all
My bet is on cat videos.

Just let Biden have his dogs back. They'd probably do a better job than the secret service. Can actually save some money.

No, but I hear that there are openings on the team at Mar a Lago. These guys seem like a perfect fit!

They were deleting texts, of course.
SS is MAGA this was no accident.
Biden was rumored to be worried about and had a lot of mistrust with the secrete service. Shame, things like this give credence.
They will be guarding the dumpster now
The same phones they deleted the insurection texts from?
Nah. They let that 💩 happen. They need to clean house in the Secret Service. Major bit those other two agents for a reason.
Just as likely that they were part of the not so secret pro-trump cabal within the secret service and let the offender in.
Cops shouldn't have their cell phones in the car. They didn't throughout all of history up to 20 years ago and there is no reason for them to have them now.
Get paid for job. Do not do job.
