Sheriff Scott Israel battling calls to resign as blame shifts in wake of Florida high school shooting

The vocal sheriff who has criticized everyone from local politicians to the NRA to one of his own officers in the wake of the Florida high school shooting is facing the pressure himself Monday, as calls mount for him to resign amid reports about his department’s alleged incompetence in stopping the gunman.

The heat against Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel is coming from all angles, including from a survivor of the attack who told Fox News that he “failed to act on so many different levels” and from dozens of state lawmakers who are urging Florida Gov. Rick Scott to suspend him.

“Listen, if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, O.J. Simpson would still be in the record books,” was Israel's bizarre defense Sunday after being asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if the shooting might not have happened if his department handled things differently.

The comment came following disputed reports that three of Israel’s officers refused to enter Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School as Nikolas Cruz was killing 17 people in the Valentine’s Day rampage.

Media has made this man crack. Sad.

This man needs to be jailed on accessory to murder charges, among others regarding dereliction and failure to properly train.

Not sad.

Do a little reading. This man is a member of the pedophile group Shamrim and there is plenty of evidence the suspect was molested by the group.

Lots of problems with this event in general. Things are not as they seem or as they have been reported by MSM

No, he led a department that failed to stop the shooter both before and during the tragedy. All the media did was expose the things he didn't want to come out. Then he cracked.

Israel is a typical democrat. A liar and not an honest bone in his body. 66 of his employees including deputies and supervisors have been convicted of crimes under his watch. Kidnapping, falsifying records, assaults, drugs etc. Obviously he hired democrats with that record. He awarded 2 deputies some awards then something happened and he said he shouldn't have give them awards but he couldn't investigate the claims against them because paperwork had been accidentally destroyed. Rumor is the SBO radio transmissions during the school shooting are missing. Again typical democrat.

Sad? he's the kinda cop that makes people hate cops. That attitude, we are all heroes no matter how bad we screw up. If it is true that more officers under his command waited outside while children were being slaughtered, he most definitely should be fired. The pompous POS

Why is that sad? He was in command of officers that are paid by taxpayers to protect. At the moment they were needed the most they did nothing. Worst is they all claimed they "were all heroes that day". FIRE HIM... before he gives his self another award.

The refusal of the deputies to enter the school is just the end of his corruption. Because of the democrat school policies he subscribed to allowed the murderer to be grown. Those policies put the gun in the hands of Cruz. Cruz is mentally ill and would have been a felon had not for democrat policies.

Interesting. The video of the suspect walking away was captured and provided to the media by the local Shamrim - Chabad House.

This even stinks to the high heavens, no pun intended.

The only thing "sad" is how stupid democrat voters are. That's what is sad. Not only sad but disgusting. They fall for the illusions created by democrats like obama and israel. Democrat voters utter ignorance is what is sad. Democrats set in place policies to make it appear school arrests are down by ignoring crime and downgrading it. The only other thing sad is us intelligent decent people are stuck living among the ignorant nasty democrats and are stuck cleaning up the messes they always make of things. Used toilet paper is more valuable to society then a democrat.
