Bay Area Law Enforcement Encourages Fighting Back Against Active Shooters

Law enforcement agencies have begun adopting a new policy on so-called “active shooters,” encouraging civilians to take safety into their own hands and take down gunmen who threaten them at work or school.

No mention of what exactly they're supposed to use against said 'active shooter'. Is San Jose different from their liberal cousins across the bay? Just wondering. But if the folks that are fighting back are not armed with a firearm themselves, then what are they supposed to do? Give the bad guy a mean look and wag their index fingers at them?
Not enough information in this article for me to make an honest assessment of.

You're right. Funny how I just assumed they meant using a firearm, I guess if your arm is accurate a paper weight could do the job.

“The fact of the matter is there may be times when we need to defend ourselves,” added Harris, who said he will return to San Jose Evergreen Community College’s campus this spring to train more students.

I'll take "things you never have to teach in red states" for $1,000 Alex.

Maybe they want civilians to pee on them?

To keep from being peed on? That's a good reason to me. :)
