BOCA RATON, Fla. (CBS12) — Rep. Bill Hager (Boca Raton), the chairman of the Florida House of Justice Appropriations, has called on Gov. Rick Scott to remove Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel - a power the governor has under Florida law - from his post for neglect of duty and incompetence in regards to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
In his letter to the governor on Saturday, Hager said that various media outlets reported that the School Resource Officer, Scot Peterson, and three deputies under Sheriff Israel's command "were on campus at the time of the attack and chose to take cover themselves rather than stepping up to protect our students."
Rep. Hager also mentioned the number of times police were called to Nikolas Cruz's home.
"The Sheriff was fully aware of the threat this individual presented to the community and chose to ignore it," Rep. Hager said.
He continued to remind the governor that this wasn't the first time a review of the Broward Sheriff's Office has been conducted. He said that, according to reporting conducted by a local journalist, a report after the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooting in 2017 found that the sheriff's office failed to set up a unified command structure, among other faults during the emergency.
Hager's legislative aid said that due to this, the representative proposes "that certain dollars currently scheduled for appropriation for the Broward Sheriff's Office be redirected...to initiate a pilot program in Broward County that will integrate and analyze data from various law enforcement, courts, state agencies, and school districts to better assess risk and keep our citizens safe."
Gov Scott will have to wait a bit on the removal.
The Sheriff was just admitted to the hospital.....separated his shoulder patting himself on the back.
Obama latest secret speech at MIT was about adopting the same diversity policies to sport. Think the German Olympic terror attack, where the International all inclusive venue was used to let in terrorists.
When was this speech?
It was on Drudge the other day. Here is a commentary from Drudge tpday.
At this writing, 73 Florida legislators, including the speaker of the House, have signed on the call for Scott Israel to resign.
Did you check out this article at the link? It’s an eye-opener about pervasiveness of how Obama has attempted to do EXACTLY what he promised: “fundamentally change America” (not unlike Hitler’s Mein Kampf) by among others things corrupting police departments like these in Florida - goes way beyond Scott Israel.
