It is fortunate that Cruz decided that he was done shooting after four minutes because no one was stopping him from shooting a few dozen more people.
The Gov. Should put pressure on the sheriff to release the dispatcher recordings...
Scott stood by while Broward and Miami became thug-friendly counties. No school expulsions unless absolutely necessary became the watchword. The inmates took over the asylum and the result... Scott should be fired.
Yes, and Cruz probably did not have to bother with an AR 15 as he would have probably achieved similar results with a simple pump action shotgun or bolt action rifle due to Sheriff Israel’s incompetence that sad day.
Sheriff Israel should beg the families not to pay him back.

Scott’s”demand” is a head fake.
He knows that Wray isn’t going anywhere(because of this)
The local government was where the real “power failure” occurred but Scott is either too “Chickensh@t” or agrees with the politics of this county.
I’m tired of my party deflecting... deflecting... deflecting... instead of being strong, determined and right!(Like my President Trump!!!!)
If he and others of the GOP-e are going to act like Democrats I might as well not vote!
No. Rick Scott is letting Scott Israel destroy himself. The sheriff was elected by his constituents. Let them chew on their choices a while. Besides, the dems are going to have this guys head on a pike. They have let this one guy let a perfectly good crisis go to waste.
Resign? Why would he resign when he’s done “amazing service” to the BSO and the community?
That makes me think that Failed sheriff Israel has something on the mayor. The sheriff needs to resign.
Scott will bring the hammer down on Israel when the move is at perfect time to get maximum political mileage out of it and use it to take Nelson’s seat. Just chill out and watch.
Broward Co. Sheriff was waiting for one more call that Cruz was a bomb waiting to go off. First 23 call, no big deal. But, a 24th call, that would’ve got his attention.
Gov. Scott can fire Israel. He’s got his top cop looking into.
The FBI’s fault, the Sheriff’s fault, the security guard...
All these failures and dereliction of duty are apt to happen again and again regardless of ‘new laws’.
Just recognize the people’s right to carry as per the Constitution, and forget about it. The rest will take care of itself.
As opposed to the Obama/Hillary/DOJ FBI, the damage done by Sheriff Israel’s poor judgement doesn’t threaten our republic.
I've seen no info on how many rounds he brought with him.
Broward sheriff, ‘dirty trickster’ forge unlikely tie
August 16, 2014
(Roger) Stone helped get Broward Sheriff Israel elected. And now, Stone has the sheriff’s ear.
When Israel took the sheriff’s helm in early 2013, in the first five months he added to BSO’s payroll Stone’s book-writing partner, Stone’s book publicist and Stone’s long-time executive assistant. He had Stone’s stepson transferred to detective, though it was early in his career, with just two years at the Sheriff’s Office.
Stone’s connections to BSO reach higher. His longtime friend Ron Gunzburger, who connected him with Sheriff Israel in the first place, is the agency’s general counsel.
Rick Scott isn’t giving Sheriff Israel a pass...
100% politics. Scott doesn’t want to anger the NY/NJ Jewish transplants who stupidly re-elected the Sheriff despite his obvious corruption.
Seems like Scott is risking his own career to support Israel - wonder if Israel is an “information collector”....
