Border Patrol Taught To Run And Hide From Gunmen ....Are Allowed To Throw Things At Them ... No Name Calling.

Yep, armed federal law enforcement officials are being told to run away from active shooters in public spaces and if they absolutely have to they can throw things at them to dissuade them from shooting everyone in sight. After I read this story last week my first thought was could they call them names or would that be considered too aggressive and damaging to the shooters self esteem. Seriously, you can't make stuff like this up. Homeland Security is teaching its agents to run away and allow shooters to kill unarmed men, women and children. I want to know what well protected knot head in the obama administration came up with this one. Here is something else to consider as well. This attitude in Homeland Security might explain how several Border Patrol agents have found themselves in legal difficulty over the last several years. I know this if I was laying on the floor at a mall after being shot and I looked up to see several BP personal in full flight I would be more than a little miffed.

Border Patrol union blasts Homeland Security instructions to 'run away' and 'hide' from gunmen

By Perry Chiaramonte

Border Patrol agents in Arizona are blasting their bosses for telling them, along with all other Department of Homeland Security employees, to run and hide if they encounter an "active shooter."

It's one thing to tell civilian employees to cower under a desk if a gunman starts spraying fire in a confined area, say members of Tucson Local 2544/National Border Patrol Council, but to give armed law enforcement professionals the same advice is downright insulting. The instructions from DHS come in the form of pamphlets and a mandatory computer tutorial.

“We are now taught in an ‘Active Shooter’ course that if we encounter a shooter in a public place we are to ‘run away’ and ‘hide’" union leader Brandon Judd wrote on the website of 3,300-member union local. “If we are cornered by such a shooter we are to (only as a last resort) become ‘aggressive’ and ‘throw things’ at him or her. We are then advised to ‘call law enforcement’ and wait for their arrival (presumably, while more innocent victims are slaughtered)."
