Trump's use of a private security force is something to watch closely-especially if it continues after inauguration.http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/donald-trump-security-force-232797 …

A predictable move for a kleptocratic authoritarian who wants to operate outside the bounds of law and basic ethical standards.
Even more troubling, he may use the force's lack of government oversight & presidential veneer to carry-out extralegal acts of force.

I think he feels scared of disloyalty more. The USSS point out in the article how sloppy his flunkies are.pic.twitter.com/MEvHhdpAEh

Autocratic politicians usually use security forces that are tied to the political party rather than municipalities or states
