In this case, what are we talking about? His incompetence despite his training (for it is unthinkable he'd be in the Royal/Diplomatic protection team without it) or the inability of his superiors to gauge his incompetence in the time before his promotion?
Even in the normal business world, sometimes people who work hard, are enthusiastic and appear competent are given opportunities to stretch themselves in more challenging roles. They don't always rise to the challenge. Who's to blame then? The individual for not trying hard enough? Or the individual for not knowing their limits? Or their employer for giving them the chance?
In this case, the race issue has completely overshadowed the matter, and I am not convinced that race is the (whole) issue.
