In light of risk of civil suit, even or especially one that is baseless and doomed to fail, he is much better on the job than off. The county is obliged to defend his actions and to pay any damages. He loses the free legal defense if he quits.
Does anyone know what Coward Peterson's political affiliation is? His actions don't seem to be those of a conservative.
The famous Admiral Borta - Tom Lantos endorsed resignation is in order.
We have Broward County to thank for some of the biggest buffoons ever witnessed. I hope the sheriff and Congressman Cowgirl and D-W, the spy enabler, can get together for a benefit sometime.
If he had any backbone he’d resign or pull a Warden Samuel Norton act, as was done in the 1994 prison film, “The Shawshank Redemption”!
Resign? In the Japan of a few years ago he would have committed seppuku.
Stop mixing federal & state.
Trump is not king! This is he Flroida Guv’s job, he has the authority. What happened is a state crime.
The left wants to make everything a federal crime!
Stop being like them!
Why limit your concerns to Broward County, Florida?
You can rest assured a Federal Grant Program that showers money around for NOT arresting criminals is super popular all around the country. This is happening nationwide.
It needs to stop.
Agreed, but the politics will not support his NOT resigning.
My guess is Hogg is concerned because focus is switching to incompetence on several levels instead of the “evil gun”
In light of the information about the 39 calls to the police, the notification to the FBI about the shooter, Cruz, I wonder how the parents, spouses, and families of the victims feel about this sheriff and are they speaking out???
He won’t resign, but he CAN be arrested.
“Reckless Disregard: An act of proceeding to do something with a conscious awareness of danger, while ignoring any potential consequences of so doing. Reckless disregard, while not necessarily suggesting an intent to cause harm, is a harsher condition than ordinary negligence.”
“Depraved Indifference: To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant’s conduct must be ‘so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime. Depraved indifference focuses on the risk created by the defendant’s conduct, not the injuries actually resulting.”
I’m just gobsmacked by his arrogance! A couple months ago he said something like, “The lion doesn’t care about what the sheep think.” Of course, HE is the lion.
Scott Peterson was named but not the other three. Anyone see related info.?
Homegrown Fl LIB...look at his ‘motto’, not all that bad an idea BUT how many ‘bums’ are on the street because of this publicized ‘nice guy policy.
Sorry, A strapping 6’3” weight-height proportioned officer in a striking uniform brings more respect to the common person than a 5’5” college grad who ‘sidles’ up to a car, gun drawn.
NO COP should ever be put in a position of where the ‘suspect’ has a chance to size up whether he can ‘take’ the Cop or not.

~ Sheriff Scott J. Israel
Fire him, save everyone the trouble of reading his resignation
I hope he doesn’t resign. I hope he’s dragged kicking and screaming down the hall and out the door, and thrown in the gutter.
If you haven’t seen it>
Yes he probably will:

1. Watch this video. People don’t understand how Broward County School Sheriff Officers operate. I’ll explain.
You’d think if people were going to protest with torches and pitch forks, it would be right down at the sheriff’s office. Maybe with tar, feathers and a fence rail to run him out of town with.
