From the people responsible for "Homeland Security"

[tbburg]

“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 Department of Homeland Security takes very seriously its responsibility to protect all of its employees from threats that may surface in the workplace,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Michael Friel said in a written statement to FoxNews.com

So,.. um,.. run and hide,

I'm surprised they didn't just disband the border patrol, that would keep all those agents safe.

We wanted a "Kinder Gentler" Dept of Homeland Security, now we have it.

Any of you lawyers or people who sue because a McDonalds pickle burned your lip. This is your fault.

Heh, I once worked the fall roundup at the Muleshoe ranch in Bagdad, AZ as the round up cook. One of the hands was a man known as Big Boy Brady. He claims to have been an all around rodeo champ sometime in the 30's. One of his quotes is: "There is about 100 of them laws in Washington DC. They cause all the problems."

Seemed to fit.

A friend of mine is trying to get on with ICE. He has a friend who works for them and she was telling him about one of their agents who was shot the other day, after being shot he ran away.

He's being made fun of now but maybe he was just following the rules. :dunno:

If you're referring to the old lady burned by coffee, there's actually a lot more to that case. Look up Stella Liebeck.

Back on topic: I think this probably stems from a decision where they could either pay for better training and weaponry, and more personnel or tell them to run away from the superior cartel forces...

There is no reason anyone should ever get pain and suffering rewards. Sorry.

Medical and time off work costs covered? You bet, but never pain and suffering.

 

[Elmateo487]

Since when is the wife's unhappiness worth 15,000 dollars.

Shoot we all l know it costs way more than that!!

GOD THIS FRICKEN INFURIATES ME!!!!!!!!!! My son is in the US Coast Guard, the last line of defense for U.S. Citizens. What the F is he suppose to do duck and hide from the Traficers in the Caribean corridor. This is such bullshit the fricken liberal bastards need to be placed on the front lines of terrorist and Border Patrol agents daily routines and let them be judged Fricke n Bus thirds. I am so pissed after reading this I'm glade I do not own a AK.

 

[Boss Cherokee]

YOU reep what you sow and all these kitty cat (P.S) bus-third cowards will soon find out what it is to be ruled by socialist mentality. My parents lost everything in Cuba they got here with the clothes on their backs my dad didn't ask for a fricken penny in help he had me here in NYC had 3 jobs and paid for every medical bill he was presented with. He is meticulous I've seen the bills he feared the IRS that how I've seen them. My father is not a violent person but when the Bay of Pigs was going to be done he volunteered and was turned down. My uncle was incarcerated for 7 years for refusing to acknowledge Castro's as the Communist leader. When 911 hit he was 67 and went down to the reciting offices to volunteer and was turned away. Some people here do not know what it is like to be stripped of what you built by hand my grand father built his properties he used bed frames as rebar during WWII because steel rebar was un available and needed for the war. I"M SORRY I JUST LOST IT AND AM RANTING! THIS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET THE LIVES AND SACRAFICES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST AND SACRAFICED FOR US IS OVERWHELMING FOR THESE COWARDS TO TELL US TO TURN AND RUN. I SAY NOOOOO, YOU TURN AND RUN COWARD!!

Sorry guys I take it real personal when the cowards hide behind their desks and dictate to us what we can do and not do. What trails we can use and not use. What health insurance we have to get (I have and pay my own). How to raise our kids, what to feed them, what not to feed them. We need to tell the stupid Biiaaatch that her husbands family is in Africa is starving and to go tell big "O" to go feed them. Give them some Coke, Pepsi, Mickey D's and see if they care about his wifes diet for kids, what a bunch of control freak, stupid a$$e$!!
