ny belief is that no politician except the potus needs any type of secret service protection, and that the potus should also have to carry a firearm to help protect himself.
I agree.
The savings to America would tremendous and politicians would be less prone to engage in criminal activities. The womb of security details also adds to their entitlement mentality.
Let em hire their own security if they feel the need.
Anyway, always glad to see a parasitic lawyer (Hillary) getting sued.

Where was this arguement during any of the elections? The 2008 election bought out all of the crazies or did you forget? I'm not just talking about Crazies against the Democratic Candidates, but also the Republican Candidates. S
hould they hire their own security? Maybe but the past election was not your typical election you had a Bi-racial candidate and two women, that alone was just a mixture for the uglies to come out.
And by the way, Government official will have police protection, should they pay for their own security team as well?
Unfortunately, police die in the line of duty all the time. How is it Hillary's fault that this man had an accident? Either the family is letting their grief cloud their judgment so they can't get closure, or they have dollar signs in their eyes, planted there by some ambulance chaser lawyer.

That's just naive and shortsighted to say that. Without Secret Service protection, you'd be making high ranking officials and their families sitting ducks to be kidnapped and/or killed by terrorists. We'd never have a stable government again. We don't need that kind of drama here in America.

You guys are so full of it, if this was one of your beloved republican, conservative what have you high-ranking politicians you'd be crying foul about this right now & the thought of them providing their own security would never be crossing your mind. Why are some people on here so obviously biased just to be jacka*ses? You're not even logical & you sound totally delusional.
This family is clearly blinded by grief & not thinking straight. There's no reason to sue a politician for an accident that was clearly not their fault. Sane & rational people understand this, others do not.

drama? we already have drama in washington dc, each and everytime politicians violate our rights.
I am still in the belief that if politicians want protection, then let them supply it for themselves.
potus should be the only one getting secret service protection.
former potus that have been out of office less than 4 years should also get it, but anything more than 4 years is their cost and not with the secret service.

I dont care if the politician in question is a democrat, republican, foriegn head of state or any other politician, if they are not the potus or vice potus or left the office of potus in the last 4 years, then they can provide protection for themselves.
local cops usually team up with secret service to provide protection to politicians. but my belief still stands on the use of secret service for a protection detail on politicians.
Former First Ladies like former Presidents are afforded Secret Service protection for life and if history is our guide, it is more than justified.
Also, let me point out that presidential motorcades are rather large as they contain not only the candidates, the traveling press but local and state officials as well, so, just like long funeral corteges, they require special assistance from motorcycle patrols whose main responsibility is to provide the safe and efficient movement of a large number of cars through traffic.
The officers family has little standing with regards the Sec Clinton as a defendant, but it makes good press.
