I understand that former presidents get a lower, thinner, level of protection than the current POTUS. How does the former president's protection compare to the presumptive nominee's protection? Does the presumptive nominee's protection rise after the convention?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Don't know.
I do know Trump also uses private security to flesh out his Secret Service detail.

Secret Service sez...
-
The Secret Service canceled their press conference the other night.
And you have accusations from various sources about deficiencies of one kind or another.
Plus, Congress said they plan to hold hearings on the Secret Service and their role, responsibility and response in this assassination attempt.

Link to videoThose are retention holsters. They require a specific draw and reholstering. If adrenaline is screwing up your fine motor skills, it's a difficult task. Plus, her vision is not on the holster.
So, it's a training issue. They say it takes 10,000 reps to permanently imprint muscle memory. I don't think there are any shortcuts for DEI hires.

@LuFins-Dad , consider the possibility that her holster may have been grabbed or nudged out off its usual place in the midst of chaos.

Yeah that's not how muscle memory works.

In the video, there is a guy in the forefront (in a ball cap) giving the middle finger to someone. Not sure what that is about.

So you don’t think the finger of God pushed the bullet away from Trump?
Nah. It was a Matrix Neo move.
If you watch the speech, Trump just barely shifts his head towards the podium when he’s struck. Had he not done that it would’ve gone through the right side of his head.
And the high def photo of the bullet wizzing by would be instead a spray of brain matter.

Some of the NBC personnel on site reported some animosity directed towards members of the media after the shooting. Apparently, some of the Trump supporters felt that many of the media had amplified the dangerous rhetoric about the fundamental threat to the nation that Trump represents…

The head of the Lincoln Project asserted that the only way to stop Trump was to put a bullet in him.
So, there's that....
