Nobody’s allowed a gun, knives, nothing. Somebody has to bare responsibility.

Piper said. "At its very worst, Scot Peterson is accused of being a coward.

That was his own attorney?

He’s a Coward scumbag but:

Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981) Court stated “fundamental principle of American law is that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen.”

A judge with common sense, I’m sure the Broward County and other Florida Dims will demand his resignation.

He took an oath to protect and serve. It didn’t include the option of passing on the protection part at his whim.

If the defense argument stands, then it puts the lie to “protect and serve,” and instead lets us know the true role of police,.. which is to “enforce, intimidate, and oppress.”

There are police who would take a bullet to save lives. This POS is the most cowardly man that I have ever heard of.

A judge has rejected a deputy's claim that he had no duty to confront the gunman during the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Refusing to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the parent of a victim, Broward Circuit Judge Patti Englander Henning found after a hearing Wednesday that ex-deputy Scot Peterson did have a duty to protect those inside the school where 17 people died and 17 were wounded on Feb. 14.

Exactly. That's part of the job description for going into LE.

The judge is wrong about this. The court's previous rulings are pretty clear that the government will not accept any responsibility at all for individual citizens.

Sadly, the cowardly cop has pretty much full immunity in this case. That won't stop the system from running him over with the process, but ultimately, they aren't going to win. In this particular incident, I'm not going to complain about abuse of process.

No duty? "Coward" is the most complimentary adjective for this *ssh*t I can find. Many have been in his shoes and performed honorably. He is an undesired anomaly to be purged for the cancer he is with a warning to other cells.

Since the suit is about finding the deep pocket of the county, exposing Scot Peterson as the craven coward that he is will do little in furthering the suit.
With good reason, there are Supreme Court Cases that establish that there is no obligation on the part of law enforcement to protect any individual. Otherwise, every bad outcome would be the responsibility of the state.

Their only obligation is to protect the interests of the state through enforcement of laws. When you look at their desire to disarm our citizens. Community Policing is merely there to make enforcement easier. Keep that in mind when you see Protect and Serve emblazoned on every patrol car.

Scot was assigned to the school because he was known to be a worthless salary drawing political hack

The incident took place in Zimbabwe (Broward Couny) Florida

IIRC, Peterson is collecting a pension of over $106,000 annually.

He LIVED on the school grounds. Didn’t even have to commute to get there!!!!

Sure it’ll get overturned on appeal; esp. considering the amt. of prior court cases that state the police do NOT have any obligation. (EG: Las Vegas. Columbine)

I guess then the ? is: was he a ‘police’ officer? IMO, if he had police power, the above would hold true...if just a ‘hired gun’ he failed to perform to the job and SHOULD get the ‘a # of flesh’.
