An active shooter has been reported at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, hours after the academy's head told cadets to 'get out' if they held racist views. At 1.23am on Saturday, the academy sent out a worrying tweet advising that the shooter was active on the grounds which sits north of Colorado Springs. 'We received reports of active shooter on Academy grounds. There are no confirmation of shots fired. Security forces are sweeping the area,' it said. There is no information of whether anyone has been injured. The threat comes just hours after Lt. General Jay Silveria called all 4,000 cadets to attention after finding racist slurs written on a message board outside the dorm of five black students. Another cadet has scrawled the words 'go home n*****' on the board in black marker.

I would feel offended by the General. Some coward is out there and he’s making it my business using fear an intimidation. Is he really concerned about racism or his career? I think he’s in a CYA mode. A racial incident between a black and a white means he’s in deep doo doo.

As it should be. Over 2 1/2 hours ago since this was first reported.

I’d be really cautious with Daily MAil for any ‘facts’....they slant everything to make Trump look bad....but they do get photos.

To be clear I mean since the local news reported the incident and not when they called it off, which I first heard from you.

Assuming a white cadet wrote the slur is that cause enough to lecture 4000?

Has the black Cadet been given a LIE DETECTOR TEST yet? Oh wait.. That would be racist. Give them ALL lie detector tests, starting with HIM. That might save the Academy a lot of trouble.

how many new officers does the
USAF need each year?

1000 seems like way too much

Race mongering shake downs are happening even at the military academies.

Obama left some genuinely horrid trashy administrators behind him.

GET RID OF THESE LIBERAL FASCISTS@

“A classic liberal arts education … is what we need to make cadets that are thinkers,” Silveria said. “While the science, technology, engineering and math, the STEM, is important, it is not also sufficient to make the cadet that can think in a modern battlefield. So they need the humanities as well as the science and math.”

In the Air Force of the future where the cockpit pilot is phased out, can the Air Force assimilate 1,000 new officers a year?

It’s been decades since white folks have all but stopped using the N-word ....IN PUBLIC

fixed it. It depends on where you live.....not so much north or south but lower, lower middle, upper middle or upper class white.

These always turn out to be 100% the result of some self-pitying SJW looking to make a stink.

There's a rank in the ranks.
