He’s dead Jim

I had him sussed the second he made Peterson the scapegoat.

[Calvin Locke]

Where are the dereliction of duty charges?

You're harassing him, and hurting his feelings.

After all, he dindu nuffin.

Oh. Never mind.

I’d bet a cup of coffee that his staff hums this every time he barks at them:

Give the guy a break. He’s only responsible for hiring, training, and equipping his deputies. Just because they perform poorly at their jobs and make horrible decisions and countless mistakes is no reason for him to resign. After all, he’s the only competent person in the department and provides amazing leadership to his staff. /S!!!

[shotgun]

Can’t fire him because he’s an elected official.

[StAntKnee]

Wait, wait . . . Boss Hogg II said he wouldn’t let that happen.

The policies that made the schools a soft target AND the policy of not reporting kids to the police is where this begins.

Right now, it looks like the school board is hiding until they get their "orders" from the Dems.

[ManHunter]

Nah, to quote Sheriff Israel himself, “Lions (like him) don’t care about the opinions of sheep (us).”

He’s a survivor, dontcha know. I give him less than two weeks before he leaves office and Florida.

I just found out today that Cruz actually called the cops on himself after his mother died and told them he was not in a good place right now. They did nothing!

[TruthWillWin]

FBI is also to blame! Leaked FBI document of informant phone call on Jan 5 shows it is unbelievable that a followup did not occur.

Well then, since it's impossible to fire this government hack, Israel is free to stay and pretend all is good. That ought to work out really well for Israel.☺

Cruz believes he demonstrates amazing leadership and gauges that on the number of kids he ignores rather than on the number they help.

[MrEdd]

He can’t be fired.
Sheriffs are elected.

He might be indicted.

Born in New York, Israel is the son of a New York homicide detective. He began his career as a patrol officer for the Fort Lauderdale police department in 1979, later working narcotics in the 1980s and 1990s, when crime was rampant. Israel has been the subject of 10 internal affairs complaints, mainly for excessive force, although he was cleared in all of them. He served a stint as a SWAT commander and was North Bay Village chief of police from 2004 to 2008, but left to run for sheriff in 2008 and 2012. Israel eventually won in 2012, and easily won re-election in 2016.

He's up for re-electon this year, hopefully the County GOP finds a good opponent.

The mistakes and repeated errors in judgement could fill the page. There was zero due diligence to protect Cruz from himself, his family or his school mates. He was a well known danger to society.

Why was Cruz able to get by with threatening, hitting, harassing and assaulting other people at home and at school?

Good the thing the Cruz is not black, we’d have BLM defending him and making him an innocent victim of society. “White man caused him to do it.”

Israel.

LOL, they're both sick in the head.

Does anyone know if the union contract for their police requires them to do any actual protecting/serving on anything besides collecting their salaries, benefits, and pensions? http://bcpba.org/about-the-bcpba/
