Article's full title:

"Broward sheriff's deputies cowered behind cars, tree with Parkland shooter believed in school, report says"

Excerpt from article:

The deputies who were among the first to arrive to the scene of the Florida school massacre were found cowering behind their cars and a nearby tree and had no idea where the gunman was, according to an official report released Tuesday.

The report from Coral Springs Officer Bryan Wilkins details how he arrived at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School within minutes of the active shooter alert -- only to find Broward County Sheriff's Officers hadn't entered the school, but were instead taking cover.

Maybe Sheriff Israel's policy, supported by Obolaites in the school admin., Obolaite FBI holdovers, and other Obolaites in positions of power to let the massacre go on to undermine the 2d Amendment???

The Broward cops hid outside while 17 kids and faculty slaughtered and many injured .....as shots rang out, kids screamed and bodies fell.

These Broward pansies with perks hid b/c they had orders:

<><>(A) to adhere to federal/state-approved OBAMA-ERA PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL POLICY,

<><>to make sure NOBODY was caught, and,

<><>(C) that nobody got arrested.......

<><>(D) b/c an arrest statistic would turn off the federal money spigot.

A look at the seven years since a bunch of nincompoops elected Scott Israel Broward County Sheriff reveals his personal agenda for self-advancement, to get more federal money in his $750 million dollar budget.

During his laughable reelection campaign in 2016, Israel proudly toted his accomplishments of “sharply reduc(ing) violent crime and burglary rates,” as well as his “innovative initiatives” to keep students in school and out of jail, the Sun Sentinel reported.

Those campaign statistics were nothing more than a smokescreen......even outright lies this turkey got a stupid electorate to gobble up.

In 2013, a year after Isreal duped a bunch of the dolts into electing him, The Broward County School Board and District Superintendent made an agreement with Broward County Law enforcement officials to essentially stop arresting students for any crimes whatsoever b/c they were being committed by minority criminals.

Also whipping Broward into shape, then-pres Obama and his henchmen at The NAACP. Thus—NO DAMAGING POLICE RECORDS ON-FILE for the minority class---the ones committing all the crimes.

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 brain-dead liberal mind easily turns a civilized society into a free-for-all killing field.

It’s a good start that liberals are turning on him——but its not nearly enough to condemn Sheriff Israel as incompetent. His monumenta; incompetence is only part of the story. The liberal culture of leniency, enshrined in Obama’s federal policy is the what encouraged Israel’s department to look the other way——to allow Cruz free to kill.

blithely telling Muslims he’s going to measure his success by “how many kids he keeps out of jail, not by how many kids he puts in.”

The simple-minded jerk can never utter a word that is not a complete indictment of his cockamamie thinking, and the deadly policy decisions he has inflicted on those he is paid to protect.

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 stage countless times but he has yet to acknowledge his abject failures in this massacre.

He told Muslims he could “read the mind” of a lion in a poster on his wall....but the simpleton never did figure out the meaning of the alarming signs emanating from a violent young man.

There are reports of two shooters in the school. Perhaps a grain of prudence was involved in not bursting in without knowing where the two were?

They are corrupt and vile political creatures with blood on their hands. May they rot in Hell. I would give the Parkland brainwashed kids a little leeway in their misguided adventures if they called the school, coward police and FBI among others out but all I hear is the constant NRA talking point just like “Russia” talking point. It’s pure Alinsky.

Few people, including those on FR, have a grip on reality. Police forces are not expected to enter an active shooter situation. They have lives they want to keep and families they hope to be with soon. Their job is to contain the situation and eventually kill or apprehend the shooter. This stance has been upheld at least twice in the Supreme Court.

This clearly means that people should be expected by government entities to protect themselves when they have "skin in the game". Yet, government folks willfully disarm The People, guaranteeing that they become victims under such circumstances. If conservatives were smart, they would be using this tragedy and the one years ago at Columbine to press for reinstatement of Second Amendment Rights for all situations. Teachers who wish to carry a weapon should be allowed to do so.

Conservatives need to take the initiative to present this case, even if WE must start throwing paint on people. Conservatives don't seem to care enough about anything except to BLOG BLOG BLOG. Action, never, it seems.

But only cops should have guns, they’ll say...

With heroes like those around, No thanks, I’ll keep mine.

Glad they were wearing body underarmor, so it didn’t show when they were soiling themselves.

Kenny Rogers would be ashamed of them
“Coward Of Broward County”

Everyone considered him
The coward of the county
He’d never stood one single time
To prove the county wrong
His mama called him Scotty
But folks just called him yellow
Still I always prayed
That we read that baby wrong

My nephew called with seconds left
That good boy bled in Parkland
He asked, then begged for Peterson
“Get him to save the rest”
I still recall my fateful call
I firmly said to Scotty
“Peterson, one life is over,
The rest have just begun.”

“Please save them son,
Don’t just turn your tail and run
Don’t run away from trouble ‘cause you can.
And it will mean you’re weak
If you hide and act all meek
And I hope you’re good enough to understand
Sometimes you have to fight to be a man.”

There’s someone for everyone
And Scotty’s friends were like him
In their eyes he didn’t have to prove he was a man
One day while they were working
A psycho freak came killing
He took shots at children
And there was seventeen of them

Scotty moved far from the door
When he saw those children dying
The torn clothes, the shattered bones
Were more than he could stand
He crawled behind a pillar
And though my call had ended
As those shots echoed through the school
He heard my words again

“Please save them son,
Don’t just turn your tail and run
Don’t run away from trouble ‘cause you can.
And it will mean you’re weak
If you hide and act all meek
And I hope you’re good enough to understand
Sometimes you have to fight to be a man.”

The psycho freak just laughed at them
When he walked out of the school house
The Broward cops blanched
As they all backed up some more
Scotty scooted down and said
“I hope that psycho’s leavin’.”
And you could hear more kids drop
As Scotty hid and sobbed some more

Twenty years of crawling
Had made Scot quite the expert
He wasn’t holding nothing back
His fear just made him cry
Scotty left those children
Not a victim still was standing
He said, “Better them than me,”
As he watched the last one die
Then he called me to say

“I couldn’t save a one
I can’t do what must be done
I run away from trouble when I can
Now you can think I’m weak
I sure did show my yellow streak
Bud, I should hope you understand
Sometimes I gotta hide. I’m not a man.”


I’m not an expert at forgiveness, but I usually try. Scot Peterson is an exception. I hope every hour of every day for the rest of his life includes reminders of all the lives that were lost while he hid and then lied about it. Perhaps God will forgive him, if that pathetic coward truly repents, but I probably will never have the strength or desire to do so. He accepted a responsibility, took money for doing that job, and then turned chicken when innocent children needed him the most.

He’s vulnerable on the financial issues IMHO.

A $750 million office budget and the Obama “dont arrest
minorities” bribes.

And Debbie W/S’s part in all of it.

CONSERVATIVE TALKIES RESPONDING TO THE MEDIA’S WAR ON THE NRA, GUNS, AND THE 2ND AMENDMENT ONLY AIDS THEM IN CONCEALING THE POLICY FAILURES AS A NATIONAL ISSUE WHICH PERMITTED PARKLAND TO OCCUR
WAS PARKLAND AN IDYLLIC SCHOLASTIC SETTING OR A NIGHTMARE
Only an investigation will either dispel or prove that with those policies enforced. Students had all kinds of disciplinary problems (drugs, thefts fights etc) when attending classses there. Were scholastic standards lowered to fit fed DOJ grants ?
WHERE WAS THE DEMAND FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INVESTIGATIONS ????
It’ was not guns or the NRA It’s policies which had cops standing outside while killing was going on or some nut getting a gun the FBI knew he wasn’t suppose to... Plus a whole raft of other stuff
WAS THE DEMAND FOR STATE AND FED INVESTIGATION ON THE POLICIES WHICH CAUSED THIS NOT CONSIDERED BY FLORIDA POLS BECAUSE THE RESULT WOULD BE LAW SUITS AGAINST THE STATE ???

Your expectations of them are unrealistic. Becoming a police officer is not a Death Pact. You already forget, this is one of the very reasons why the Second Amendment exists. The People have the right to self defense. Instead of harboring unrealistic Hollywood expectations of police officers, use this knowledge to push for full restoration of the right to bear arms.

It always amazes me how conservatives just can't manage to push back. They always want someone else to do their dirty work. Sound familiar?

I remember to this day when the cowards hid behind a fire truck while the fireman was fully exposed in the drivers seat driving his fire truck in after Dylan and Klebold at Columbine.

Firemen did not sign a suicide pact either but they go into the fire to see if there are survivors not hide behind their trucks hoping the fire will go out.
