Meaning this guy will get away with it.

The intent most likely is to try him and find him not guilty. Local taxpayers will be used to foot trial costs merely to sooth official nerves.

[Cassius Flavia Agrippa]

It will make the maggots life harder. Perjury will probably stick. Let us all pray he kills himself.

Why are they blaming him?
It was all the gun’s fault, don’cha know.

Only a fool thinks 16 months is a rush to judgement. Average time from crime to conviction to hanging in the framers day was probably 1.5 minutes (purposeful exaggeration). Show me a scintilla of evidence that the framers would approve 16 months of dithering. Justice delayed is justice denied.

[DesertRhino]

True. This will go nowhere.

A case hit the Supreme court as recently as 2005 on this very issue.

Look at all the medals... I was in Beirut in 83 and have half as many. Guess he got one for each gross of donuts he ate and each peter he puffed.

[Gay State Conservative]

Of course one can be court martialed in the Armed Forces for “cowardice” but I’d be interested to see exactly what they charge this guy with.

[fso301]

Cowardice in the face of the enemy.

+1 So much for swift justice!

[miss marmelstein]

My personal feeling is that showing the white feather is punishment enough. But that may be after a lifetime of reading Bret Harte and Jack Shaefer...

>>The police union and indignant blue family lobby will likely work it out so he quietly gets a retroactive paid vacation and full retirement.

He retired in his mid-50s and just started pulling down an $8,000 a month pension for the rest of his life. And the police unions and the blue family lobby will shout from the rooftops about how he deserves his pension and how we mere civilians just don’t understand what they go through!

We’d solve a lot of our problems with the police if we could go after their pensions when they mess up, and keep them from taking cop jobs elsewhere when they screw up. Might make some of them think twice about the attitudes they have - we try to hold our military to a high standard, don’t see why we shouldn’t hold cops to a high standard, especially since some of them dress and act like they are in the military.

Coward,
More
Former Broward Deputy Scot Peterson has been arrested on felony charges.

He cowered in Parkland while my sister died defenseless and lied about his failure to confront the shooter.

I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison.
