This is my view as a 30 year veteran of being a Secret Service Agent and the challenges of dealing with protesters and dirty hippies.
The DNC
Denver, being a relatively small city, gives unique challenges to the Secret Service agent.
For one thing, it’s close to Boulder, a well-known communist enclave, and Colorado Springs, home to Focus on the Family and many right-wing extremists. With these two disparate groups so close by, we’re definitely going to have our hands full.

Of course, our agents will be focusing the majority of our efforts around the Pepsi Center, where undisclosed places will especially be watched. There will be plainclothes agents watching your every move, you dirty protester.
There will be free speech zones around the Pepsi Center.

I became an agent of the Secret Service because I wanted to help protect our nation’s most valuable asset: the Commander in Chief.
Our Post 9-11 World

Ever seen what happens to a person when you strike a person with the “Monadnock Autolock 26 Expandable Baton with Power Tip ? Needless to say, it’s exhilirating. What was the question again?
