The elderly woman with the walker, and dude in the wheelchair,....very risky type character types....What? Local LEO's "couldn't" handle it?

Just because IRS got caught does not mean the other agencies will stop their ordered prograqm of intimidation against all who oppose "the Won" .

So until now, I never heard of the Federal Protective Service.  So doing a little bit of googling it appears that the FPS is the federal government's security guards for federal facilities.  When you think about it probably not a big deal that a bunch of security guards were standing around during a protest.  But I get your point, the problem is that if the IRS can be used to quash those that do not agree with the regime, why not DHS.

Well, that crowd appeared ready to erupt at any moment. 

A real over the top force of militant radicals conservatives.

...and I'm so glad TW that your so gullible.  It gives me a reason to add to my post count

Who else is responsible for security at a Federal facility?  It isn't the locals.  FPS is just a renamed department that used to be about a dozen security departments including IRS Police, and others.  They probably didn't even have to "bolster" the number of gaurds.  And check the begining of the video again, there were what three, four guys? They looked like thye could have given two $h!ts about the protest as long as they didn't throw anything or hurt themselves.

Gee,,, there were not DHS folks at the Florida facility, or the S. Carolina Facility, or the Virgina IRS outpost, or the Iowa IRS bldg. It just was local LEO's and/or troopers.....NOT the DHS,...

Keep working on your post count, and since your on the inside, be grateful your off the audit list.

Are you REALLY that paranoid?  Why do you have a computer?

Ever stopped to think about who actualy OWNS the bulding?  Just because the IRS or Social Security or any other agency is in the building doesn't make it a Federal building.  FPS is the security service for only federal buildings.  Other facilities are leased and responsibility of the locals.  Its called jurisdiction.

I think I saw your name and IP at the NSA Computer Center a couple weeks ago, I know I saw Bogan's

You guys have no idea. The VA police up here at the hospital have more Kit on than I did in Iraq. I'm not lying or exaggerating. These guys wear chest rigs (i should say a couple do regularly). There is an AR in their car. They have a Sig and a taser plus all the other crap level 4 hard plates all that.  All of them wear Oakley sunglasses of the same style so figure they got a government credit card. They have a freaking SEGWAY so they dont have to walk. They constantly go to the range.

And yes I watched 2 of them slam an old guy with a Cain on the ground cause he was getting loud cause it took 4 hrs for the pharmacy to get his meds.

It's been my experience that FPS jurisdiction is NOT limited to federally owned buildings, but also federally leased buildings and portions thereof. It more depends on what is inside than out I believe. But who am I to argue with the great jnevis?

I may have implied own/lease, which isn't exactly true, but it still boils down to jurisdiction.  As I've said before the FBI has a uniformed division that is only responsible for the Hoover building to the sidewalk around it.  From the sidewalk to the street is Metro DC and the next block is Capitol Police.  As you said it can also be what's inside in addition to other things (owned/leased or shared between local/fed) that determine who;s responsible.
