BOCA RATON, Fla. (CBS12) — Rep. Bill Hager (Boca Raton), the chairman of the Florida House of Justice Appropriations, has called on Gov. Rick Scott to remove Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel - a power the governor has under Florida law - from his post for neglect of duty and incompetence in regards to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
In his letter to the governor on Saturday, Hager said that various media outlets reported that the School Resource Officer, Scot Peterson, and three deputies under Sheriff Israel's command "were on campus at the time of the attack and chose to take cover themselves rather than stepping up to protect our students."
Rep. Hager also mentioned the number of times police were called to Nikolas Cruz's home.
"The Sheriff was fully aware of the threat this individual presented to the community and chose to ignore it," Rep. Hager said.
He continued to remind the governor that this wasn't the first time a review of the Broward Sheriff's Office has been conducted. He said that, according to reporting conducted by a local journalist, a report after the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooting in 2017 found that the sheriff's office failed to set up a unified command structure, among other faults during the emergency.
Hager's legislative aid said that due to this, the representative proposes "that certain dollars currently scheduled for appropriation for the Broward Sheriff's Office be redirected...to initiate a pilot program in Broward County that will integrate and analyze data from various law enforcement, courts, state agencies, and school districts to better assess risk and keep our citizens safe."
Incompetence isn’t a crime but it can put the public at risk. Apparently in Florida, if it’s not someone who can be impeached, they can be removed by the governor. It’s probably different in other states.
Sargon will be here soon to call you an anti-Semite and have your post deleted.
Apparently the G word is the new N word.
I thought I kalready knew how messed up Broward County was...
Wrong.
He had his chances but instead used the CNN Townhall to unjustly slime Dana. Your point of view to this person is totally unjustified, period.
Neat idea, but no way Scott does it.
As soon as he did the attention is on him and not on the Sheriff. The longer Scott Isreal is shown to be an incompetent and not a victim the better.
Uh oh. Now I’m in for it. I’m a self-hating Jooo!, I guess.
There is a lot about this that stinks.
Lots of faces that have appeared in other places also. And I guess that is all that I can say.
It is all over the MSM but was on CNN a couple days ago I believe.
It’s almost as if they wanted this shooting to occur. Hmm.
Blaise Ingoglia, responded to my FB post yesterday. The Florida State Representative and Party Chair has called for Scott Israel to step down.
Everyone should be fired and prosecuted.
Scott is running for Senate and tip toeing through the tulips at the moment. No chance he removes Israel.
His pitiful excuse has included the shooter had a “military style” firearm while they had only handguns. A scene afterward shows deputies standing around with AR-15s, too.
Only if you are an anti-Semite.
For God's sake, you posted a Hitler quote the other day—one which you obviously agreed with. What's wrong with you?
Get a grip. I've had posts deleted too. Live it. Learn it. Love it.
Obviously, someone else was offended by your anti-Semitic posts as well...
(As I read it, one needs to complete and submit a Form 95 (Statement of Claim) and then needs to wait 6 months before filing a lawsuit.)
Fire them all and take away their pensions.
I saw him at that CNN so called “Townhall” Fiasco where he showed his true colors. He needs to go.
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel is just the tip of this OBAMA-crafted, toxic iceberg. And it’s all about the money folks...
“[I]n order to obtain FEDERAL GRANTS under OBAMA and Eric Holder...armed deputies...following orders not to intercede, or at least permitted to just stand idly by...”
You dig down deep enough, you’ll often find Obama behind a lot of these unexplainable tragedies and chaos.
“And yet the same people who are for disarming law-abiding citizens want to give the very people who are refusing to follow commonsense dictates for our protection more power and us less.
“...the county policy is intentionally constructed to ignore criminal behavior in schools...[but rather]intercept behavior, modify the action based on a specific [political] policy, falsify documents, manipulate records etc...they didn’t “miss warning signs”; they ignored them as part of school and police department policies.”

Haven’t we had enough of the Hypocritical and Delusional Lying Left? Isn’t it WAY PAST time for the state and local governments to get cleaned up and start becoming INDEPENDENT of the corrupt feds and stop allowing continued unconstitutional federal acts to be perpetrated on state citizens?
Time for Patriots to re-commandeer our country and take it back from these hateful traitors.
I know you are, but what am I?
Just kidding, it’s OK if you think I am an anti-semite, I am not though.
I pretty much have blasted all religions, nationalities, and institutions over the last 19 years or so, and I will admit to being a Misanthrope.
For good reason.
I would strongly encourage you to join the NRA and contribute monthly to FR (you probably already do).
