Another issue to be considered is that in all likelihood the “gestapo” that interviewed the kid were part of the cabal of the Sheriff. I doubt they were your “average” officer.
A lot of these school liaison officer jobs are plums that are handed out to political hacks in the SO. I don’t want to indict all. But... having worked LE for over 20 years, the MO certainly sounds like they were “dispatched” by either the Sheriff or the Superintendent as both of these officials have been keeping a VERY LOW profile since the news broke about the number of times Cruz was interviewed by either the SO or the number of times he was mentioned to school officials by other students.
The left’s “poster boy” has had his 15 minutes of fame and now his call for boycotting investment firms makes most normal people question his end game. His profanity-laced YouTube video certainly didn’t help his credibility either.
Add his female counterpart who was voicing her opposition to “assault weapons” while wearing a “military-style” jacket with the Cuban flag on the sleeve and some of their supporters begin to see that they are just a couple of kids who have very limited life-experiences.
The problem is Kyle has come across as a very credible young man who isn’t screaming at the top of his lungs. Isn’t brokering his survivor status to appear on every left-leaning late night show, and actually has solid, well-thought out answers to questions when asked by the media.
He is a threat to the anti-NRA narrative.
As for corruption and the like in law enforcement...this profession is no different than any other. You try and screen, test, observe, and hope to weed out the bad apples when you can. Sometimes they quit of their own accord. Sometimes not. But I submit people are human. You hope for the best and plan for the worst.
