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)."

This moronic training has nothing to do with the border. It has to do with providing the same training to armed law enforecment employees as the unarmed, non-law enforcement, employees.
There is nothing “childish” about a boots on the ground, We The People all out efforts to thwart the enemy’s moves to oppress us, to throw any and all obstacles in the enemy’s way...in short, to not cooperate with the enemy’s efforts to control us. I refer you to World War II, and the brave efforts of those freedom fighters, those individuals who fought against the enemy in every way they could, at great sacrifice, and some lost their lives. And, they were successful individually and collectively, in thwarting the enemy...each and every effort COUNTS.
This is no arm chair war..we must get up, get out and join like minded people and organizations like the Tea Party, 912 Patriots, Americans for Prosperity, Freedom Works, to name a few. We use what methods and options we have. AND, we must also turn out in mega numbers at the polls and remove this vermin from OUR White House. We must also make sure our friends, relatives, neighbors are registered to vote, get transportation to the polls as needed, volunteer at the polls to PROTECT THE VOTE. GO door to door and canvas your neighborhoods, give them info about the importance of voting in November, and educate them on what is at stake..pass out handbills with concise pointers on obomacare and what it will mean to every one of us.
We will need mega numbers of people at the polls...and it will mean we need to touch base with people, even if it means going door to door. Too much is at stake for us, We The People NOT to make every effort to be methodical in reaching all people.
There is much to do, time is short. There must be an all out effort to stop this enemy..this is the war of OUR lifetime, and we must not fail. Remember those soldiers of past wars who gave their all, so that we may be free. Honor their efforts and their sacrifice, and work like hell and win this war.
I’m glad to hear that.
Can someone please explain how to outrun a bullet? You may dodge a few shots... but if they have Holder’s weapons, that’s a lot of bullet dancing. Good luck. The border patrol “union”... really? That explains a lot. Maybe the guidelines should have been thus: Clock in, take a 40 hour break and get paid. Never bring a bean bag gun to a shoot out with Holder’s fully automatic armed Obamabots.
