A Marjory Stoneman Douglas school resource officer has been suspended without pay after Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said video shows him taking up a defensive position during the shooting but never entering the school.
Israel announced Thursday that the decision to suspend Deputy Scot Peterson was made after reviewing video from the shooting and taking statements from witnesses and Peterson himself, Israel said.
“He should have went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer,” Israel said.
Peterson was armed and on campus during the shooting, Israel said. Since he met the requirements for retirement, Peterson opted to resign after he was told he was being suspended, Israel said.

A special place in hell awaits for this coward.
ReplyDeleteI knew about Scot from day 1,but listening to everyone throw around their carrying ideas was too good to spoil.
ReplyDeleteHe was not equipped to face a shooter with an AR-15. Teachers with handguns, little training and no ballistic vests aren't either.
ReplyDeleteScott Israel was warned 39 times in the prior 2 years that this kid was going to be the shooter someday and did NOTHING. NO reports to the NCIS allowed the kid to buy all the guns and ammo he wanted. LEGALLY. Parents saw something, said something and all this track can do is suspend an officer and blame the crazy man.
ReplyDeleteIsrael should be shot on sight.
Oh, but cops in schools are the answer, I call BS! He isn't the first officer to freeze, the last nightclub shooting,same thing. The problem is PARENTING, or really, lack thereof.

And his inactions are proof why more on the school grounds need to be armed.
Israel is a POS and he should resign but being a democrat he is void of any and all morals and integrity so will never do the right thing. He will lie, blame and deflect any of the blame he well deserves off of himself. He subscribes to the democrat policies that put the AR-15 right into the hands of Cruz and anyone who dares deny this is a POS liar themselves.

that is BS.
It is well known that the low performers at our local sheriffs
ReplyDeleteoffice are the ones placed in the schools. There have been incidents of the officers getting to chummy with some of the female students and teachers, they should be rotated out every 60 days.
He was doing the "Mike Lewis", waiting for Media camera's to show up.
ReplyDelete12:20 How so? Explain yourself if you can.
ReplyDeleteBarricade yourself in a house with an AR-15. SWAT will respond in full military gear and body armor/ballistic shields. Most LEO/SRO's don't have any more than a level 3a which stops a .44 magnum handgun round but not a .223 or 5.56 AR-15 round.
I dare you to put a level 3a vest on and let some take a few shots at your chest with an AR-15.
Cops did the same exact thing in Orlando. The cops on site were told to stand down and wait by their commander. Joke
ReplyDeleteIt is a Law Enforcements Officers duty to "Protect, and Serve", they are supposed to protect, and give their life if necessary. This is their oath. This is what they are trained for, this is why they carry guns, they are supposed to confront danger.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is a coward, he is going to be banned for life!

ReplyDeleteHow much protection or serving can they do if they storm in and get killed?
