A Federal Bureau of Investigating "training video" called Run. Hide. Fight. was publicly released on Tuesday and generated a spate of reactions regarding the need for the spot in the first place.

"Customers at a bar are caught in an active shooter event. By employing the run, hide, and fight tactics, as well as knowing the basics of rendering first aid to others, they are prepared, empowered, and able to survive the attack," the FBI states on its website along with a transcript.

"We are a failed state," Elie Mystal of The Nation wrote. But he was far from the only one who was disturbed by the production.
