"Sheriff Israel has repeatedly failed and has demonstrated a pattern of poor leadership," DeSantis said in a statement.
"He failed to protect Floridians and visitors during the tragic Fort Lauderdale International Airport shooting in 2017. He failed in his duties to keep our families and children safe during the devastating shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb.14, 2018," the statement read. "These incidents demonstrate Sheriff Israel’s repeated incompetence and neglect of duty. The families of the victims deserve accountability. It is my job as governor to ensure that the safety of our local communities, especially the safety of our children, is paramount. Government officials must be held accountable for their actions, and/or inactions.
"For these reasons, I am suspending Sheriff Israel from office effective immediately.”
DeSantis later tweeted that he was suspending Israel for "his repeated failures, incompetence and neglect of duty."

I wouldn't be the one to hire him as a consultant for my security needs after he retires, that's for sure.
As a 26+ year police veteran, in 2013 I was trained in active shooter response. I was trained, (as all law enforcement are) that when you get on scene, you go in, you don't wait for back up. You go in immediately. Seconds are of the essence.
The only thing I disagreed with is that if in plain clothes don't take time to put on a jacket that displayed you as a police officer.
Doing that would mean I am going to be a fatality of friendly fire.
I don't believe you
4 person group not solo unless your on a tac team or a swat. If you go solo you better be right. Never unidentifiable and I have never heard of that. I'm sure it could happen but that is LE 101.
