'Uber for armed guards' app rides high after CEO assassination
A new app, Protector, lets you book armed guards like you would an Uber, and it’s gaining attention fast. Available in NYC and LA, you can hire active-duty or retired military and law enforcement officers to accompany you in a motorcade. The app went viral after the assassination of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, with the company offering a fantasy scenario of how its guards could have prevented the event.
