“And right there I knew, because I’ve been at that school for many years, I knew right when I heard the cafeteria, you know when you get the hairs on the back of your neck going up, I said, ‘That never goes off,’” he said.
“So I ran into my trailer, I grabbed my firearm and my ID and my shorts and my sneakers and I ran over to the cafeteria. As I got to the cafeteria, sure enough, there were four males inside the cafeteria,” he continued.
“They saw me peeking through the glass, they obviously fled. I chased them, I’m getting older, but I started chasing them, I identified who I was and as ironic as it may seem, they ran right towards my trailer.
“So they ran past, jumped over the fence, I jumped into my car, I apprehended two of them … threw them in the back, kept going, grabbed the other two,” he said.
He also described another “chilling” incident when he heard banging on the front door and a woman yelling that there was an armed man wearing a ski mask.
“So I ran, put some shorts on, ran out with my firearm, while I’m running to the school, I’m contacting Coconut Creek police, we set up a perimeter,” he said.
“Long story short, we caught the individual when he ran across the Coconut Creek Parkway and he was hiding near a bank.”
This “cop” ought to be tried for assisting with the murders.
Because that is exactly what he did.
“We are crime prevention, an audit report will never show how much we prevent,”
It was a great job until the day he was actually expected to do the work.
Instead of calling president Trump names and attacking the NRA the irate parents should be mounting lawsuits against the FBI,
the county Sheriffs department, the school administrators and this coward.
".....seems dirty Harry here ran out of nerve"
UGH, a place to sleep the day away.
He is guilty of not being a hero when he could have been. Clearly the cops and the FBI failed the people in this case. That is why arming actual teachers make so much sense. They do not see stopping the shooter as a job.
Kept having to put his shorts on ??? This whole incident and lame excuses is on the Sheriff Scott Israel IMHO ...... State and Federal justice departments need to probe his department with prejudice . Wait a minute I’ve got to “go put my shorts on” .....
Especially in his case.
I guess the only thing we can hope is that he *never* works in any law enforcement or security capacity again.
His actions seem cowardly. Self-aggrandizing cop who lives life w/o his shorts on, so he has an excuse not to be the first one on scene. It’s disgraceful, to stand outside by the door for minutes and do nothing while the shooter unloads on innocent kids, killing them. Possibly he was waiting for the killer to kill himself, or run out of ammo, and then make the big play in cuffing him.
He left two unarmed athletic coaches to try and defend the children against an AR 15 with nothing more than their bodies. He is a worthless POS.
Having armed personnel in schools and other “gun free” zone will be a damned if you do, damned if you don’t endeavour.
The socialist-democrats will crucify anyone who stops an active shooter who happens to be a student, and the socialist-democrats will do everything in their power to make sure mentally ill kids can perpetuate these murders unimpeded.
To the socialist-democrats, the issue is never the issue. The revolution is all that matters, and revolutions need crisis to perpetuate and keep alive, even if it means stacks of dead kids to achieve the desired effect.
Why was he always stopping to put shorts on???
Coulda been cowardice and fear. Coulda been slavishly following some misguided training. Whatever the reason, I pity this guy. He will never escape this. When everything is Stripped Away there was a man with a gun killing unarmed children, and he was on the other side of the door with a gun and did nothing.
“Oh, I’m not a security guard. I’m a security monitor. I tell you when you have a security problem and you need to call the authorities. You need to call the authorities.”
Does this guy spend every moment at home undressed? I’ve heard there are many nudists in FL, but really...?
If they stop these massacres, how will they scare people into banning all guns?
25 years as a SRO? Only on the sreets 10 years. What a lazy pos.
