And the chickification of the USA gets rammed a little further up our collective arses by the metrosexual in chief.
I think that this can be properly referred to as “The Three Stooges’ Tactical Response”:
Duck!
Dodge!
Hide!
They can throw confetti and tinsel!
One great thing about FR is direct accurate information like yours. Thanks for the insight to allow us the inside view.
So why is their union complaining about it?
And furthermore, even if it’s just office workers being brainwashed this way, why are they being trained to duck, hide and throw things rather than blowing away armed thugs?
OK, I get why the union would complain about it, even if not involving Border Patrol officers, but why would the upper management even come up with such an imbecilic idea, anyhow?
“It is always comforting to know that for those of us who carry a weapon when we are off-duty, if we should encounter such a situation, stop a shooter and save countless lives, we can look forward to being disciplined or fired by the Border Patrol because we should have run away to hide and then maybe thrown objects at the deranged killer instead of taking action and stopping him with a firearm. This, in addition to the scrutiny and second-guessing that will come from local authorities and the inevitable possibility of lawsuits and criminal conviction.”
“Welcome to the New Patrol.”
obama...purveyor of toxic waste.
They used to at least let them use rubber bullets - this is insanity -
same kind of insanity of his ROE for our soldiers - that has resulted in a hughe incrase in deaths - as our soldiers can’t hanve their weapons loaded on base _IN AFGHANISTAN - they can’t fir the first shot in battle - etc etc
g’night
You’re right. It is unbelievable.
All personnel in DHS were required to watch that workplace violence/active shooter lecture even though it wasn't geared towards law enforcement. Nothing in that lecture would preempt an agent from engaging a threat, as he/she should. It is no different from me having to watch a stupid video on foreign travel which doesn't cover my circumstances in that situation, either. These videos are made for office staff that aren't carrying guns and don't have the tools to deal with a threat within reach at their desk.
The flip side of the story is the BP union consistently complains about this stuff, but not important stuff. In my sector they fought requiring agents to use encrypted radios because they were concerned an agent my not be able to remember to download the keys every month. Instead they would prefer to endanger that agent by making all their comms in the clear. I haven't seen the union make a big stink about the Tucson sector policy that had members of Brian Terry's BORTAC unit using non-lethal rounds. I have seen the union complaining about switching overtime payment programs despite every agent getting a pay-grade increase in the middle the federal government fiscal implosion. The BP union is effective at getting what they want, they just don't seem to fight the important fights.
i only post the stupid part for stupid things, have no idea who wrote it, and always say it wasn't me if somebody congratulates me on it...Chode, the first time I saw the rant, it was posted in this thread by MNJohnnie. I assumed it was original to him. I could be wrong.

Well, there’s always throwing stars, spikes, knives, axes, spears etc.
