David Hogg: Gov. Rick Scott Should Be ‘Held Accountable’ ..[TR]

David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland, Florida high school shooting, told Morning Joe on Monday that he thinks Gov. Rick Scott should be “held accountable” for the failure of three sheriff’s deputies to confront the gunman.

Law enforcement sources confirmed to news outlets that three deputies from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office remained outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High as the shooter opened fire, eventually killing 17 people.

Hogg, appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, said the news is “raising concern” in his community, before accusing elected officials of attempting the blame the shooting on “bureaucracy.”

“They’re in charge of them,” Hogg said of those elected officials. “This is their fault.”

“They should have been regulating them,” he continued. “I’m not going to allow them to pressure these people because at the end of the day it’s their fault. These elected officials are the boss of these sheriff personnel and just like the president is the boss of the FBI, Governor Rick Scott is essentially the boss of Scott Israel, the sheriff, and as such he should be held accountable.

“He can’t just blame this on the bureaucracy and expect to get re-elected.” Hogg went on to praise high school football coach Aaron Feis, who died shielding students from the gunman, “unlike those cowardly Broward County Sheriff officials.”

“Sadly, these are a few individuals that did not conduct their job correctly, but I don’t think it’s right that Governor Rick Scott is trying to blame this on the bureaucracy in an effort to get reelected.”

"The governor of the state has no control whatsoever on how a particular sheriff’s office is run."

Per Article IV, Para. 7 of the Fla. Constitution, the governor *does* have the power to remove the sheriff.

True. The uniparty media knows how to downplay the natural divisions within its ranks by focusing on their outside opponents instead.

Ann Coulter labeled this the Left's DOCTRINE OF INFALLIBILITY: Put a victim out there after a tragedy and have them spew leftist propaganda from their protected position.

Chayefsky perfectly lampooned the media-provided sudden fame of radicals in his NETWORK, which is no longer satire but a realistic portrayal of where we are.

STICK TO THE FACTS
In the Parkland case, their security system had a dismal record concerning student safety and security that should be brought to public discussion particularly beginning with this school having a so called “gun free zone”.
From what has been reported .This school system did have an understanding with the Broward County Sheriff’s Dept. An officer who may be armed assigned to patrol the multi acre site in a golf cart, but bans guns from the rest of its internal security

Criticism arose when the officer assigned to this duty who was nearing retirement was reported to arrive late and after Cruz had entered the building. The officer stationed himself outside the large structure and had called for support. Two BCSD officers responded Which and did the same seeming to refusing to enter the building while armed . He then left before Cruz did.

Also responding was the Coral Shores PD who entered the building and cleared it. Cruz was captured while fleeing with other students by an alert CSPD officer on the 45 acre campus.

Those laissez faire attitudes strongly suggest examining records beside the interaction between the BCSD and this school board also calls for a review how the bureaucracy at this school handled student vs student, and student vs teacher (Cruz was accused of this) altercations, vandalism, thefts, and drug use. Which are bound to occur were being dealt with.To which a dramatic reduction in disciplinary incidents were reported after a visit by Obama occurred was publicly acclaimed.

Because of these Ding Bat liberal policies it brings up another question. Just how safe and secure were those kids ? .Examine records reporting how student vs student, and student vs teacher altercations, vandalism, and thefts, which are bound to occur were being dealt with. Beside the arrangements with the BCSD.

Because in an educational unit this size it’s pretty clear their security system failed . In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten within the grounds let alone inside.

Now that school board has decided to tear down the school which was probably raised by a funding referendums and the grounds house a memorial

My reference is Florida Statutes, Title X, Article 112.51. It uses the term "suspend" not "remove".

Article IV, Section 7, of the State Constitution also uses the term "suspend", not "remove". In fact, Section 7 is titled: Suspensions; filling office during suspensions.

Not different rules here. Broward County Sheriff is an elected office. He is not a bureaucrat but an elected official. Scott has no authority over how he runs his office.

Correct. Unless he can show us a bullet wound he received at school on February 14, 2018, he not a survivor of the shooting.

He is a possible witness, but he is not a survivor.

Someone should has Hogg:

How were the active shooter drills conducted?

Did someone actually dress as a shooter with mask?

Is this what the Sheriff is covering up?
