As everyone knows by now, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was subjected to an attempted assassination attempt this afternoon in Tuscon. The subject of Congressional security is now being brought up--again. My question is this: where were the police? I admit that the info I have on the subject is limited to whatever a few media outlets can provide, but none seem to indicate that any police were present during Rep. Giffords open gathering with her constituents. Is there a reason why local police couldn't be on hand for a member of Congress who had previously been subjected to threats and office attacks because of her political leanings?
