"You're making sure that the president is safe. You're making sure that your coworkers are safe, and you're making sure that the general public is safe," he said. "But at the same time, you are protecting the office of the president. There is no better feeling, no bigger adrenaline rush for a Secret Service agent."
Moore had been drawn to the mystique and professionalism of the Secret Service the images of patriotism and prestige. Guarding presidents and dignitaries, keeping them safe, even if duty calls one of the stoic men or women to do as they are trained and step in front of a bullet.
The best of the best, they are immortalized in Hollywood dramas such as "In the Line of Fire."
But Moore has been fighting an agency he loves for nearly a decade because of what he says is racial discrimination that kept him from getting promoted. He is one of 10 current and former black agents who have filed a lawsuit claiming bias. More than 100 current and former agents are also party to the suit.

Nothing Shocking here and I'm not surprised by this. I just hope this doesn't affect how these men who protect our politicians running for office and their many other duties.

I know that racism is an issue and definitely in some workplaces but I have also witnessed first hand how companies are afraid to fire someone even if they aren't doing their job well because they are black.
The Secret Service has been slow/refused to turn over documents needed to have this case come to a conclusion. They maybe forced to do so now.
