Fox News has learned that in the critical moments as first responding deputies were searching for an active shooter on the property of Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school, a commanding officer on scene apparently ordered some of the initial responders to “stage” and set up a “perimeter” outside -- instead of immediately ordering or allowing officers to rush in to neutralize the suspect, Nikolas Cruz.

In one part of the report it says “Another source with close ties to a county and city official told Fox News a few of the responding officers on scene were very frustrated and one was brought to tears over the law enforcement response.”

These were PLANNED MURDERS. Three attacks in cities
with the same name, same day, for a message.

PLANNED MURDERS.

Everyone knows. And everyone is still in power.
Just like Uranium1.

Just like Benghazi.

Just like the IRS Atrocity.

Just like ....

The obvious solution to all these further revelations is further restrictions on personal liberty and freedom.

Oh, and also more government.

People need to be brought up on charges, fired, loss of pensions from the FBI on down.

holy crap. first I’ve read of this one:

” . . . even a responding air crew refused to take off — apparently in fear of being shot down — because it was not established the shooter was in custody.”

this shooter may have been just what the doctor ordered for the broward county sheriffs department. while tragic, these problems would never have been fixed until they were so comprehensively revealed.

Rock and a hard place.

Reminds me of the fellow who was credited with ending the church shooting here in Texas with his own AR, who told of hurrying to load his magazine and get to the scene because every gunshot he heard was someone he knew, dying.

Yes, those would be the Coral Gables city cops who appear to have demonstrated courage and professionalism in the situation, once they got there.

“Reminds me of the fellow who was credited with ending the church shooting here in Texas with his own AR, who told of hurrying to load his magazine and get to the scene because every gunshot he heard was someone he knew, dying.”

Big difference. He actually went in and stopped the killing, in contrast to the ahole cops who let the kids get slaughtered.

To: All
Broward Sheriff Scott Israel is the arch-villain of this disturbing expose of a $750 million dollar county police dept with 6000 employees.

Israel instructs us as to how the braindead liberal mind easily turns a civilized society into a free-for-all killing field.

Israel's inaction signed the death warrant of 17 youngsters and heaped lifelong heartache on their family and friends.

This well-paid, self-aggrandizing little jerk has been on the public state countless times but has yet to acknowledge his abject failures in this massacre.

======================================

Israel and his department’s repeated failure to intervene in the violently downward spiral of the gunman was bad enough, but Israel-trained, gun-toting deputies' refusal to enter the school until the shooting stopped (and 17 teens killed) is a stain that Israel’s TV-ready bravado can never remove. There will be little lamenting when Israel loses his job. (hat tip Michael Goodwin, NY POST)

Remember your alphabet, it goes something like this- CIA. Behold a pale horse.
