…is being treated as a sign of how very out-of-touch and cripplingly politically-correct Chicago, and the city’s airport authority, are: \u00a0airport cops – who are unarmed at O’Hare and Midway Airports – are being instructed to scamper away and hide<\/a> in the event of a mass shooting at either airport:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf evacuation is not possible, you should find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you. Block entry to your hiding place and lock the door,\u201d but Matt Brandon, secretary-treasurer of the airport officers union, told CNN they have serious issues with the protocol.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese men and women are sent to the Chicago police academy, and trained as police officers, and being a former police officer, I know your first instinct is to go to the problem \u2014 not run away from the problem.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the other hand? \u00a0I think every cop in America should be given the opportunity to contemplate facing a mass shooting with nothing but their wits and charm…<\/p>\n

…well, no. \u00a0Not every cop in America.<\/p>\n

Just every urban police chief.<\/p>\n

Every urban police chief – the ones the gun grabbers always cite as supporting gun control – should be inveighed spend some time in a “gun free zone” as a “gun-free” person. \u00a0Not as a Blue Noble with the power of life and death. \u00a0No – just like every other schlub.<\/p>\n

Failing that, though? \u00a0Unarmed cops at two of the major airports in one of the biggest “gun-free” cities \/ crime cesspools in the country?<\/p>\n

Just brilliant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
