Dimwit Florida Sheriff Was 'Once a Proud Member of Team Obama'

When some major police incident occurs, it is most often my practice to withhold comment until I can be sure that most of the facts surrounding it have been revealed. A horrific event like a school shooting like that which occurred in Parkland, Fla., arouses the impulse to weigh in with opinions based on incomplete or even false information. It is best to resist this impulse.

Others, of course, with endless hours of air time to fill, and with agendas to push along, are unable to resist it. There may be more egregious examples of this, but I don’t see how anyone can compete with the CNN’s recent “town hall,” at which Sen. Marco Rubio and Dana Loesch were mocked and browbeaten by what amounted to little more than an angry mob.

Which is not to say the people in attendance didn’t have reason to be angry. The crowd was made up of students, parents, and teachers from Stoneman Douglas High School, where days earlier 31 students and staff members had been shot, 17 of them fatally. From a high school student’s limited perspective and experience, he knows only that something horrific has occurred in his world, something that by all rights should not have.

Remember that Sheriff Israel is much more a politician than he is a police officer. He was first elected in 2012, labeling himself in a campaign video as a “proud member of Team Obama,” this despite having been a Republican until running for sheriff in left-leaning Broward County. He was re-elected in 2016, but in the wake of the Parkland horrors he is faced with a situation that jeopardizes his future prospects. To a politician, such a situation demands pandering to the mob and shifting blame onto others.

More expectation than epiphany.

Well, I guess that clearly demonstrates the level of standards demanded to be a part of Team Odungo. The bottom of a 10 foot pit.

He’s not a sheriff just like the media isn’t comprised of journalists. These Leftist activists believe their primary occupation is social justice as they fail miserably at what they were hired to do.

This guy is scary indeed. He is waiting for the relocation orders to clean out neighborhoods and truck out citizens for their own good.

[digger48]

I can’t post it, but a new piece at Townhall is showing that the Sheriff has been caught in another lie.

He claims they only got called to the house 23 times.

Buzzfound has documented 45 occasions they were called.

Even Mourning Joe is now calling for the sheriff to go now.

[BenLurkin]

Obama was only the PR person for the shadowy cabal of anti-Americans who ran the White House for eight years.

The Sheriff is still working for that team.

Well, I’m certain smart young Boss Hogg will see the blaringly obvious connection between Democrat control and poor outcomes. I’m sure his school taught cause and effect, along with critical thinking. I’m positive he will now attack the true causes of these troubles.

[Lurkinanloomin]

If they re-elect this turkey, they deserve whatever happens.

[bigbob]

He’s an insult to dimwits.

[crz]

ONLY? Oh thats OK then I guess.

One or two calls and that kid should have been brought in for a 72 hour evaluation.

Tom Namako‏Verified account @TomNamako Follow Follow @TomNamako More .@browardsheriff says it responded to 23 calls involving Cruz or his family, but records obtained by @BuzzFeedNews show at least 45 responses: https://www.buzzfeed.com/salvadorhernandez/dispatch-records-cruz-home?utm_term=.vekzDq9vPk#.vekzDq9vPk … Broward County sheriff's officials said in a statement late Saturday that they responded only to 23 calls involving suspected Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz or his family over the years, but records obtained by BuzzFeed News show at least 45 responses since 2008. The number of calls made over the years involving Cruz or his family, according to the call records, are nearly twice the number publicly disclosed by the department. On Saturday night, the Broward County Sheriff's Office released a statement pushing back on reports that they had been called more than the 23 incidents released by the department. "Since 2008, BSO responded to 23 incidents where previous contact was made with the killer or his family," the sheriff's office said in its statement. "STOP REPORTING 39; IT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE." The Broward County Sheriff's Office did not respond to BuzzFeed News' questions about the additional calls, or how it determined to include the 23 calls that were disclosed to the public, but not the others.

This Mother effer is culpable and should have 17 law suits brought against him and that county.

[PMAS]

He will resign in about a week

Israel is the perfect lock-stepping Obama Democrat——totally progressive in word and deed.

The Democrats’ biggest problem is keeping this blabber-mouthing narcissist away from the media til they can decide how to dispose of him.

But it may be too late-—he’s already starring in slews of Republican campaign ads.

Democrat candidates are running for the hills away from him as we type.

[Common Sense 101]

Team Obama? Try Team Dimwit...

The number of calls made over the years involving Cruz or his family, according to the call records, are nearly twice the number publicly disclosed by the department.

Is anyone surprised?...................

Did anyone else notice this in the article? I would like proof that this guy was ever a Republican.
