A number of people are asserting that the Broward Sheriff’s Dept and the Broward Board of Education worked in tandem over the past several years to treat students with serious discipline issues, up to and including engaging in criminal activity, with a bias not to arrest them, because the higher the arrest rate of students, the greater the negative impact on state and federal funding for education. And, of course, it’s well known that police brass want low arrest rates because it makes them look like they’re preventing crime effectively.
Did Scot Peterson avoid investigating and potentially arresting Cruz because he knew either implicitly or explicitly that his superiors didn’t want high school kids arrested?
The question needs to be investigated.
Remember this:
Rats never recuse. Rats never resign.
