Border Patrol agents are blasting the HSA for ordering Department of Homeland Security employees - which includes the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard - to run and hide if they encounter an "active shooter." The DHS instructions are printed on a handout and posted in a mandatory computer class.

“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 instructions were intended for civilian office workers, but DHS officials maintain the Active Shooter course applies to all, both civilian workers and law enforcement officers, and that no should rush into a situation where they or others might get hurt.

Michael Friel, spokesman for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection service, said:

"The Department of Homeland Security takes very seriously its responsibility to protect all of its employees from threats that may surface in the workplace. CBP workforce training is designed to prepare all employees, including leaders, managers, supervisors, law enforcement personnel and non-law enforcement personnel, to understand their own roles and the roles of their fellow employees in responding to threats. In an active shooter scenario, employees are taught to take actions that keep them alive.”

Oh, boy. Another brilliant decision by the Obama administration.

(Janet Napolitano made "global warming" a priority for HSA, creating the “Climate Change and Adaptation Task Force”. She told us that some of the 9/11 hijackers had entered the U.S. across the Canadian border as a justification for beefing security on our northern border instead our southern one. During the Gulf oil spill, she had no idea whether FEMA or the Coast Guard had any oil cleanup equipment. She honored returning war veterans by warning Americans that they might be recruited as domestic terrorists by extremist groups. She disarmed airline pilots ready to defend their cockpits against terrorists trying to repeat the 9/11 attacks. Now she's telling Border Patrol agents to run from armed criminals instead of arresting them. Keeping the homeland secure since 2009...)


"When an active shooter is in your vicinity, 1. escape and keep your hands visible."

I'd like to see the handout given to the retards who man the xray and metal detectors at the immigration building on how to deal with middle aged white male attorneys who have a non-federal friendly attitude,

Let me put it to you like this, it is opposite of what they use on fat mexican bitches dressed up in sequined shirts and pants so fucking tight a molecule of air could not exist between the cloth and skin

This is SOP of Kanadian border shitheads.

Couple of years ago a guy was headed for Blaine crossing running from the cops.

The Kanadian border sheep took off like rabbits. Much to the amusement of the US agents.

However, I guess now they can all run like rabbits
