The nearly 300 unarmed police officers patrolling Chicagoâs OâHare and Midway airports have been told to ârun and hideâ during active shootings.
Internal aviation department documents obtained by CNN instruct officers not âto become part of the responseâ to an attack.
âIf evacuation is not possible, you should find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you. Block entry to your hiding place and lock the door,â but Matt Brandon, secretary-treasurer of the airport officers union, told CNN they have serious issues with the protocol.
âThese men and women are sent to the Chicago police academy, and trained as police officers, and being a former police officer, I know your first instinct is to go to the problem â not run away from the problem.â
âWeâre nothing but casualties if you tell us to run and hide. And how can the public look at us if they see police officers running and hiding? That goes against the very oath we were sworn to that we took.â
Additionally, Miami-based security expert Wayne Black said he has ânever heard of anything so crazy.â
âI mean, the concept in a post-9/11 world of having sworn law enforcement officers unarmed at an airport, not being able to take direct action â I donât know what they are thinking.â
Are these cops or cub scouts?
And O’Bamarama is planning to seize the law abiding public’s guns but not those belonging to the narcoterrorists and hiphop rapping wannabes of Chicago.
Guns are workplace requirement for that privileged class.
I took the headline to imply that an active shooter situation was underway at ‘Chicago Airport’ right now.
STOP! or I will say STOP again!
Yet in another article here on F.R.,”TSA PAT DOWN & GROPPING of 10 YEAR OLD GIRL”. What the &%#$ is going on.
“...if they are going to go hide, as the memo instructs, do you expect them to stroll away, or run like hell!”
If it’s something I need to hide from, it’s something I need to run away from, too!
God Help Chicago!
I would not comply with such an order.
I see what you mean.
I copied it directly from DC.
Better head would have been: Chicago Airport Police Told To “Run And Hide” During Any Active Shooter Situation

Thanks - makes the traveling public feel safe.
I like it. If being disarmed in Chicago is good for citizens, then it’s safe enough that police don’t need guns.
Make the overseers live like they force we peons to live.
Idiocy - it’s the liberal way.
I was just joking about stuff similar to this. Now it’s their real advice.

Remember the San Francisco City Commissioner who said US doesn’t need a military or police.
If the Russians landed in SF Harbor, he said the Fire Department could handle it!
They could “Fart in their general direction!”
To quote Pvt Frost from the movie Aliens:
“What do you expect us to use man, harsh language?”
As I understand it, there are armed Chicago police at the airport in compatible numbers to other airports. These “unarmed police” don’t look like cops (in terms of physical fitness), and judging by the ethnicity of those shown on the news it just looks like makework/workfare for certain people who couldn’t make the cut as cops.
It’s the Killer Rabbit!
RUN AWAY!
RUN AWAY!
He left that hell hole long ago.
nothing will change until new leaders take over.
it starts from the top down. and he gives comfort and aid to the enemy
HEY, YOU GUYS!
