the exact same training as police departments, which is still less than many CCW holders pay for on their own. Chances are, they are better trained than the average Brinks driver.

No, embassy guards can be from any MOS, including electronics repair.
Also, Combat Camera are not viewed as "combat troops".

In the Air Force, and I'm certain the Marines and Army do as well, everyone does annual qualification and every one has to meet a higher standard than NYPD or Brinks. Also, infantry training and firearms training are two different things. Guarding a building does not require infantry training.
It looks like Bloomberg got bloggers from college or high school creative writing classes who don't know the basics of research, life in general, or even how to write well.
