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
The nearly 300 unarmed police officers patrolling....? Are they real cops or mall cops or like meter maids?
The article maybe in error in calling them cops - just because someone wears a uniform and has a badge - like a meter maid - does not make them a “cop”.
What are they there for?
So 300 more people can be on Rahm’s City of Chicago payroll.
Just what we need. 300 Peter The Meter Reader-types providing “security!”
The problem is, passengers think their security is improved while at the same times, Terrs will not wait to see if these 300 are armed before they shoot them.
Typical Rahm deal; everyone loses.
“Ya carry a badge? Then ya carry a gun!” Sean Connery as a Chicago cop in The Untouchables.
All the security I see in airports - the unarmed mall cop types - seem to be Pakistanis or other form of Muslims like Somalians. Does not make me feel safe.
Our nation’s capitol international airport, Dulles:
Only authorized taxi service is owned by radical Palestinian.
Most drivers are same.
Most baggage handlers putting bags on a/c are Ethiopian, Somali or Palestinian Muslims.
I travel for work - I am going through to Wisconsin. Muslim women towel heads are working security. I say to myself - did I land in Gaza or Green Bay?
