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.

What's next? Offer the shooter a beer and ask him if he wants to sit down and discuss it... Ridiculous!

The next thing you know they'll tell the border patrol not to defend themselves. Wait a minute, that's what they're telling them,' to run and hide if they encounter an "active shooter"'. I guess they shouldn't bully them either because it might hurt their feelings.WTH?!

No. Of course we are nit just supposed to allow foreign gunmen to invade our country, silly. We are supposed to let unarmed foreigners invade our country and provide them with firearms when they get here a la Eric "asswipe" Holder... Ugh...

The only way to deal with armed intruders is with force, not running away and hiding.

No. You offer him "un cerveza". You have to do it in their language first. Well, you can offer the invader the option of pressing "1" to continue in English... lol
