Wonder if they would have fired the cop if the cop was female. I doubt it.

” but he FROZE. “

The cops at Columbine waited until the shooting stopped, then waited a bit more, before they went in.

This guy “took up a position” outside near a door. Just maybe he was following training.

As I have said for many years, all the police do is take names and clean up the blood.

It you want protection, it is up to you!

Pretty sure they hire people to clean up the mess. As is said, police are crime historians, except when they need some revenue, then they are crime inventors.

I read that he was a long ways away and received incorrect information, so it may not be “all his fault”.

Scapegoat?

You must have missed the latest news on the SRO. He was the point man in all this. And he folded, completely failed.

You are 100% right on the money. Sheriff, Scott Israel is the aide and abettor to murderer Nikolas Cruz, the sheriff, the school board leadership and the FBI are as guilty of slaughtering these innocent kids as equally as the shooter who did the actual killing. Thank you.....Sheriff, Scott Israel and thank that “Pristine”, Congresswoman of yours that you love and adore so deeply, Debbie Wassermann Schultz. What a team of low life dregs, an incompetent School Board, An incompetent Sheriff, An incompetent FBI, all led an directed by an incompetent, failed Congresswoman.

Broward County, Florida voters should be hanging their heads in shame for voting for these incompetent..”Obamabot Democrats”!!!

I have read Twits that say Coral Gables LEOs arrived ahead of the Sheriff’s people to help Stoneman students.

Then again, there are reports of the FIB being on site, when their closest office is supposedly 24 minutes away.

This thing is made for TV.

And yet, the Scalise shooting, Rand’s attack and the attempted assassination of Republicans on a train - complete with Kristol’s knowledge ahead of the crash - netted no Dem condemnation that I read about. As in NONE.

From your link...

...Israel said Peterson resigned, and subsequently retired, after Israel suspended him without pay earlier in the day. An investigation into Peterson will continue, the sheriff said.....


Subsequently RETIRED?????

With how much pension?????

Not Coral Gables (Miami). Probably Coral Springs, that’s a few minutes from Parkland.

And yes, Scott Israel is in serious CYA mode. His deputies were negligent in not arresting Nikolas Cruz on multiple occasions: beating up his brother, his mother, other kids, throwing rocks at moving cars (felony), stealing neighbor’s mail, loitering , trespassing, destruction of private property (repeatedly), harassment, threatening bodily harm (repeatedly), cruelty to animals, etc. ad nauseum.

Add to the top of your list Joe Biden whose “Safe Schools Act” created the gun free killing fields coast to coast.

This is why trained teachers and coaches with access to concealed weapons as a last line of defense should be considered. You are not going to pay some cop basic pay and have him perform like Kris Paronto and his buddies.

The cop should have at least tried to engage the killer or try to get kids to safer. That said, I think the Sherrif doth protest too much.

This “resource officer” (whatever that duty title is) is just another bad man with a gun.
