Border Patrol Union Blasts Homeland Security Instructions to 'Run Away' and 'Hide' from Gunmen

Border Patrol agents in Arizona are blasting their bosses for telling them, along with all other Department of Homeland Security employees, to run and hide if they encounter an "active shooter."

It's one thing to tell civilian employees to cower under a desk if a gunman starts spraying fire in a confined area, say members of Tucson Local 2544/National Border Patrol Council, but to give armed law enforcement professionals the same advice is downright insulting. The instructions from DHS come in the form of pamphlets and a mandatory computer tutorial.

“We are now taught in an ‘Active Shooter’ course that if we encounter a shooter in a public place we are to ‘run away’ and ‘hide’" union leader Brandon Judd wrote on the website of 3,300-member union local. “If we are cornered by such a shooter we are to (only as a last resort) become ‘aggressive’ and ‘throw things’ at him or her. We are then advised to ‘call law enforcement’ and wait for their arrival (presumably, while more innocent victims are slaughtered)."

And who is head of DHS. a woman with no clue appointed by a man with no clue. We must take back our Country in November. If Obama stays in another term our laws will be toast.

Funny how the Obama regime works...
It's completely fine for LEO's to violate American citizen's rights and inflict damage for the sake of revenue. But, these Illegals are violating our sovereignty as armed insurgents and the President wants LE to run and hide allowing them free entry?

Uhhh, How many tens of thousands of troops do we have defending the South Korean border?
A NO PASS ZONE. If you attempt it you will be shot.

Why if our Federal Government hiring people and paying them not to do their jobs. This is a disgrace to our Country just like Obama is. I, like many or my friends, are not particularly fond of Rommney, but for Gods sake, we must get Obama out of there.
