It was a stab in the back of the community because I am sure that the synagogue board had the same discussion (argument) as every other synagogue in the country does when we receive the email we all get annually (at the very least), advising us to have security, and when possible, armed security. Some listen, some don't. The board votes and decides. It is a democratic process but I doubt the President was aware of it when he made the comment. And either way, he is correct. Armed guards, when properly trained, are always the better option! Not agreeing to meet with the President in this instance was inappropriate. We say the "Prayer for the Government", which is in our prayerbooks, every shabbat (and pray for the President, regardless who he is or if we like him). I am very surprised the Rabbi was not able to convince him to overlook his personal feelings for the greater good.
