The marketing for Protector, which lives onits X account, is surreal.
They describe careers in SWAT teams and being deployed to war zones.
They show vanity shots of themselves kitted out in operator gear.
All of them have a red lapel pin bearing the symbol of Protector.
A video posted on January 6, 2025, that runs just over two minutes gives the game away.
It opens with a photo of assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
What if tragedy didnt have to strike?
He turns the shooter away and nothing happens.
In the second scenario, the Protector shoots the assassin in the stomach as he draws his weapon.
Then he rolls him over on the wound and ties his hand behind his back.
Protector is something of a pivot for its parent company Protector Security Solutions.
That was Poparazzi, an Instagram competitor thatburned bright and then died.
He founded Protector Security Solutions in October 2024 and started putting together two apps: Protector and Patrol.
Patrol is marketed in the same way and with the same people.
Scared suburban neighbors pool their resources to hire private security for their neighborhood.
Add more money to unlock more tiers, more cars, more drones, and more guards.
We rely on law enforcement to keep us safe, but they cannot be everywhere at once.
We are here to help law enforcement and ultimately we are here to help you.
