Coral Springs police "blew past" Broward Sheriff's to get to shooter.

DEVELOPING: Sources familiar with events surrounding the shooting tell @CBSMiami that when Coral Springs police arrived within minutes of the shooting call, they found not only the BSO School Resource Officer outside the school taking up a defensive position but at least three other @browardsheriff deputies who were waiting outside the school. The Coral Springs officers were told by BSO officers on the scene to wait, but the Coral Springs officers blew past them and immediately entered the building.

These events were first reported by @CNN. A spokeswoman for @browardsheriff and @ScottJIsrael confirms they are investigating if BSO deputies waited while kids were dying. Sheriff Israel earlier tried to dismiss these questions by saying when Coral Springs went in the shooter had already fled. But as one senior law enforcement source told me, at the time BSO was waiting outside they had no idea if the shooter was still inside. They needed to act and they didn’t

Cue Kenny Rodgers

Everyone considered them the cowards of the county
They never stood a single time to prove the county wrong.
They called themselves deputy, but folks just called them yellow.
And I know they weren’t wrong.

But I don’t want anyone dying in my place when there was no chance he could survive.

Are you saying that a trained cop with a hand gun had no chance of surviving against this teen nut with an AR-15? If you are then you are absolutely part of the problem and are either dreadfully ignorant or an intentional troll from the far left.

Properly raised men are expected to indeed risk their lives to save the vulnerable such as women and children

Period

Forget cops specifically any good man....l

Where the hell did shame go?

Before today’s artificial security bubble we live in women and children were dead meat if not for men who lived to keep them safe

We forget that too readily

Where do you keep getting this “no chance to survive” baloney. Nobody expects a cop to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge because you are drowning. But outshooting this guy isn’t rocket science. He was a drug addled teenager who is in his very first shootout, watching kids fall, distracted by screaming, by fire alarms, half deaf from his own muzzle blast. There are far better than even odds that a good adult man with normal training can dump him without him even seeing it coming.

From what we know from this article, Broward Co cops were told to hold a perimeter, Then Sheriff Isreal made Peterson a sacrificial lamb with full retirement benefits to get the dogs off his OWN trail

Runcie is playing the same game.

There is a quote from a teacher (forget where I saw it, but abc got the credit-I don’t go to abc for anything) saying that the ‘person’ was all decked out in silver/gray gear, like some ninja warrior. Complete with face mask.

I post because I don’t get the internal timeline of how the shooter got away exactly. If the person/persons wore such a getup, not only could you not identify them easily, but also, you couldn’t establish how this Cruz character could walk/run out of the school and saunter down the street.

They should have stepped more carefully past as slipping in the pools of urine can slow you down.

“it would appear that if they believed Cruz had already fled, there would have been no reason at all for not entering the building. “

You mean besides first aid for dozens of wounded bleeding out when a simple tourniquet might save them. Other than that. Some wounded might have 3 minutes to live if they don’t get CPR or bleeding stopped.

I believe he ditched all of his stuff and just blended in among the chaos.

The cop is under no legal obligation to go after the gunman although still in many departments the culture would compel him to do so.

Not sure if there is a 'Good Samaritan' law in Florida that would protect the cop if a stray round he fired struck someone other than the gunman.

So Peterson, the 32 year trained law enforcement officer, assigned school duty, the point man in all this was told, "If there is a shooting on campus do not engage"?

Did ya hear Peterson called for backup and when backup arrived, backup stood outside and apparently called for backup? ☺

Why would CNN make up a fake story that hurts their narrative?

Defede has confirmed this, independently. He also has a narrative he would like to maintain and coward cops does not fit that narrative.

Oh a dreaded unbeatable AR-15.

https://chrishernandezauthor.com/2016/11/13/warnings-unheeded-lessons-from-a-man-who-killed-an-active-shooter/

Fairchild AFB mass shooter with an AK-47. An air police officer rode a bicycle about a mile to get his pulse pumping and killed him with a 9mm from 70 yards.

It doesn’t take an AR to beat an AR.

This is why Eyewitness in scrutinized.

I have at many times in mylife seen mass delusion from so called witnesses, they go to the well of propaganda that they have been trained to see.

One time the cops had me thrown to the ground and cuffed and the mob was chanting.

Thank GOD I had a Marshall there that called BS on it all

This phenomena can happen to anyone

Even the Black Phantom LOL

““To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.”.”

Winston Churchill
