Disgraced deputy touted school cops at board meeting
NY Post ^ | February 23, 2018 | Yaron Steinbuch

The Florida sheriff’s deputy who resigned in disgrace after doing nothing during last week’s massacre is seen in a 2015 video touting the crime prevention skills of school resource officers — like himself.

Scot Peterson stood by an entrance to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for more than four minutes after the shooting started, but “he never went in,” Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel told reporters.

The deputy was suspended without pay pending an investigation, then resigned. When asked what Peterson should have done, Israel said he should have “went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer.”

But in 2015, Peterson urged Broward County schools to keep the jobs of school resource officers, who were provided lodging in trailers as part of their perks.

“These colleagues work hard. We are crime prevention, an audit report will never show how much we prevent,” he said in response to a county official who cited an audit that discredited the program’s value, according to the Sun Sentinel.

“I’ve been a police officer for 30 years and I’ve been a school resource officer for 25 years. Go Eagles, by the way,” Peterson said during his introduction to the board, referring to the school mascot. “It’s a crime prevention program.”

It is NOT going overboard. His inaction amounts to criminal malfeasance at a minimum and a solid prosecutor could make a case for involuntary manslaughter.

Indict him, try him, convict, and incarcerate him.

Seventeen students died for the insane Broward/State agreement that manipulated crime statistics to get govt grants.. This is the story the public needs to see

INSTITUTIONAL WELFARE: Broward County Colluded with state officials; the cabal Ignored Crimes Committed By Students In Order To Get Federal Grants

Broward County participated in hiding and excusing student arrests for years “The school system administrators wanted to manipulate their Black/Hispanic crime statistics so as not to appear racist” and to gain state and federal grant money.................”

REALITY CHECK So where’s the FLA pols——Debbie W/S and The Cowgirl Congressperson?
About criminals using students, and planning crimes, AFTER Broward arrest quotas were met?

ACTION NOW

Thanks for the list, Liz.

To it I would add:

Did peterson have prior run ins with cruz?

Where any or cruz' illegal or threatening activities captured on the school videos?

Did peterson edit/despoil that video evidence?

How do you hide while hearing the screams of children being murdered at random knowing you are the only person armed on campus, other than the gunman?

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.

"There is no trailers for the SROs they are regular cops with additional training."

Same here in San Diego. My buddy was an SRO and he was just a regular Deputy. 7-4, M-F job. During the spring/summer breaks he was back on patrol duty, nights and weekends.

Also, he knew every "bad apple" on campus very well, as I'm sure this Deputy Scot Peterson did. I saw several reports that Deputy Peterson called in a description of the shooter including clothing. If he saw Cruz anywhere near the school, he should have been all over him, or at a minimum on heightened alert.

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.

Huh?

Here is one example quote:

“He believed he did a good job calling in the location, setting up the perimeter and calling in the description (of Cruz),” said the union official, Jim Bell.

It's possible he got the description from someone else, but that's not clear at this point. Seems no new details are coming out since it was revealed to be such a Cluster F.

Procedure since Columbine is the first officers on the scene must go in immediately to try and stop the killing, even if they are alone. The killing is usually over by the time more officers can arrive and get into the building. Hence what some call a ‘suicide entrance” has to be made.

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.

“But what’s clear is that police and school security personnel now believe that while police Special Weapons and Tactics teams may be better equipped, waiting for them should not put students at risk.” you are correct, it’s preferable to have 2-3 entering, but if only one is there then only one is there.

I do remember the other, but I thought he was executed already.

He wasn’t.
