Why are Border Patrol agents in Arizona ordered to fight with bean bags against AK-47s?

This is definitely Obama’s fault, and McCain is complicit.

I'm not sure what their use of force policy says, but I bet it doesn't say use non-lethals when presented with a deadly force threat.

Opening fire against known armed individuals with a non-lethal is a sure fire way to receive fire in return.

Just a thought but if I were a Border Patrol Officer......I wouldn’t give a good GD what the higher ups said, if I saw an AK-47 there is abosolutely no way I would fire bean bags first.
Better to be fired for going against regs than dead.
