The main podium being enclosed in bulletproof glass was, of course, a security measure that has become standard for presidential events since last year’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

”It breaks my heart that even at a memorial service, we need bulletproof glass to protect people from potential attacks. But in a way, it also shows the strength of this movement—no matter the threats, people still showed up by the tens of thousands to stand together. That’s courage,” another person wrote on Facebook.

Trump, along with several top administration officials, later viewed the service from a suite also shielded by bulletproof glass, while nearly the entire Cabinet occupied seats in the front row.
