FULL TITLE: When Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel Was Accused of Corruption, He Responded: 'Lions Don't Care About the Opinions of Sheep'
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israelthe man whose agency failed to prevent the Parkland massacre despite having received a tip last November that Nikolas Cruz was plotting a mass shootinghas been accused of public corruption.
Two years ago, the Sun Sentinel reported that Israel was rewarding top political supporters by giving them and their family members cushy jobs doing public relations and community outreach for the Broward County Sheriff's Office. One such position, outreach manager, paid out a salary of $78,489. The person who got that job was the husband of Israel's campaign manager.
Israel had been a Republican but ran for office as a Democrat. He was first elected sheriff in 2012, then re-elected in 2016. According to the Sun Sentinel:

Israel's opponents say he's built a publicly funded political machine, paying back supporters with jobs and using them to keep him in office. They say the money could be better spent, particularly after the sheriff complained about not having enough funding to secure the county courthouse, where a murder suspect recently escaped.
Asked about the allegations, Israel responded, "What have I done differently than Don Shula or Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King, Gandhi?"
He also said, "Lions don't care about the opinions of sheep." That's a paraphrase of a quote from the Game of Thrones character Tywin Lannister, a villainous public administrator known for promoting his family's interests ahead of the government's or the people's.

I know right, thanks there Tywin Lannister.
LOL!
And the sheep can decide if this cowardly lion goes home or maybe goes to jail.
Israel is a clown!
Man I posted exactly that - good catch!
LOL!
Unbelievable.
Coral Springs police arrive Scot Peterson standing outside the door 3 deputies were behind cars with guns drawn the cops go right in deputies stay outside Sheriff dept not the NRA has blood on their hands This is the same sheriff that was accused of corruption in 2016 You don’t want any of these people to have your back.

If you're not cop, you're little people.
And here's an earlier photo of that "lion" of a Sheriff:
(Apologies to Bert.)
I agree. That was completely bizarre when I read it.
Well, he is a Hillary Clinton acolyte. Says it all right there.
It is things like this that remind me of why Leftists should never, ever be allowed anywhere near the levers of power.
These three sheriffs huddling outside with loaded shotguns while the screams of dying teenagers and gunshots are clearly audible are a microcosm of Leftism.
Think of how much damage they have been able to do to the military in the last eight years.
What the heck is that??
I know! What is the guy shaking, I wonder.
aaaaaarrrrrrRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
Who is that shaker guy?
“You, Sir, are no lion.”
“...Lions Don’t Care About the Opinions of Sheep’ ...”
Piece of sh*t. Take his bade and his guns away and we’ll see how much of “lion” he is.
Won’t be sheep he has to worry about. It’ll be Sheepdogs.
He apparently doesn’t care about the law or the lives of people in his county.
Don’t know, but that one book is in Arabic.
