Why does the government, when we are supposedly trying to cut back on expenses, think they need to spend millions on security contracts to guard buildings during public demonstrations?

Because if the government doesn't protect those buildings with everything possible the conservative media will claim Obama has blood on his hands and Rep. Issa will spend a year investigating the scandal.   :oops:

Sheesh, either they're protecting the buildings too much, or they're not protecting them enough.

O.K., now an armed to the teeth DHS is telling it's border guards that when they encounter illegals they should

1. hide
2. cower
3. distance themselves (run away)


The part you're referring to, "that the subject of imminent danger of death or serious injury.  Agents should obtain a tactical advantage in these situations, such as seeking cover or distancing themselves from the immediate area of danger."

I'm sure you've heard of cover and concealment, so it's not a bad idea for the Border Patrol to tell them to seek cover.  It's talked about in self-defense circles, but frequently part of training for law enforcement and military.  Seeking cover, concealment, or distancing yourself from a threat isn't a bad idea.

If you were playing dodge ball, do you stay close to the line, proud as a peacock standing tall before the inevitable Nerfball to the 'nads, or is it better to stand back, get low, and dodge?  :;):

Maybe if when folks being questioned wouldn't plead the 5th Rep. Issa would need a year.

I would certainly think our border guards are a little bit better trained in crowd control than cowering or running away from stoners.  Believe it or not, throwing stones may be considered lethal.  U.S. Border Patrol has recorded more than 400 assaults since 2010 just in the San Diego sector.  At what point do we make a stand and let these trespassers know we mean business?

Perhaps Jeh (Returner) Johnson could issue pepper rounds or arm border guards with rubber hoses and charge the brigades of illegals attempting to cross onto U. S. soil.

Just maybe, this is another example of how the ones giving the orders have no clue as to how things work. Ya think?

I hope those idiots are wearing blue or green helmets, and issued a body bag. So they will have something to carry them off in.

Maybe my thinking is skewed, but with DHS being armed the way they are, and a lot of people saying that they are no match for our military even with what they have.  We have to remember one fact, hillbilly clinton disarmed the military.  What I mean by that is while the military has arms, they are not allowed to have them while on base.  That means there is a level of security between the military and the arms they use to do their jobs.  Being on a military base isn't anything like in a combat zone, no one has a weapon, with the exception of a small security force.  Infantry units have to have permission to gain access to their armory and draw weapons and a limited supply of ammo in the armory.  Same goes for the AF and any weapons for the aircraft

You always plead the 5th if you're subpoenad to a witch hunt/ McCarthy hearing.  Rep. Issa doesn't have any proof of scandal or corruption, so the best he can do is keep questioning until they get some soundbites for FauxNews and the blogs to play.

Maybe if Issa keeps holding hearings they'll find a blue dress somewhere in the State Department the Republicans can examine for DNA.  :laugh:

When did the Republicans start caring about human lives lost, anyway?  They presided over the first 9/11.
