      There are real threats at that level though. Disabling the SUV could easily be the prelude to an attack because it’s the primary mode of escape. If that’s not it then you’re also responsible for protecting the automatic rifles and classified information in the vehicle. The vehicle itself is also highly classified to prevent people from knowing how to breach it’s armor.

      Presumably they went through the use of force continuum and got to warning shot because the guy ain’t dead and the Secret Service protection agents train at an elite level.
