    Active Shooter, Can this be true?

    Source Fox News

    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)."

    The FEMA-administered computer course, entitled “IS-907- Active Shooter: What You Can Do,” is a 45-minute tutorial that provides guidance to all employees on how to recognize indicators of possible workplace violence and what to do should their office be invaded by gunmen and focuses around three main options; either evacuate, hide out, or in dire circumstances, take action.

    Main Points of the "Active Shooter" training course
    Evacuate: If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premises.
    Hide out: If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you.
    Take action: As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter.

    Once the course is completed, employees are urged to download additional materials including a summary booklet and pocket-sized card outlining protocol, which was also handed out to employees two months ago.

    If this is the new Obama policy for the Border Guards then we might as well take there guns away from them and pay them to sit in a safe office. One has to wonder how long it will take Obama to apply this policy to the US Military.

    Straight from the desk of Barack Hussein I'm sure. If they can't deport illegal aliens or engage gunmen, why are we paying them? Obama' next move it to make the Border Patrol greeters for illegal aliens coming across the border.
