[Zakeet]

Embattled Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel told a local NBC station on Sunday that the failure of his resource officer, who was armed and on site during the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, is "not my responsibility."

[Snip]

"Leaders are responsible for the agency, but leaders are not responsible for a person," Israel told the station. "I gave him a gun. I gave him a badge. I gave him the training. If he didn’t have the heart to go in, that’s not my responsibility."

[pgkdan]

He’s a Progressive tool/hack.

Far worse than that.

[bigbob]

That’s right, he would have been the first one into the school, demonstrating his excellent leadership, but for the fact that he was in make-up, getting ready for his next TV appearance.

[over3Owithabrain]

So the sheriff gave him a gun but “isn’t responsible” for what he does or doesn’t do with it.

But the NRA is responsible for what people do with guns?

[MayflowerMadam]

I heard her, too, and didn’t hear anything about 4 deputy sheriff caught lying. Unless she was on F&F twice; maybe she was.

[laplata]

Yes.

“A commander is responsible for everything his men do or fail to do!”

Well, yeah.

[proust]

The buck never got here! Not my problem!

[cincinnati65]

That’s the central mantra for the Democrat Party.

[SaxxonWoods]

He’s a Democrat, nothing is his responsibility.

[Terry Mross]

As I understand it he switched from republican to democrat when he ran for sheriff and proclaimed he was on Team Obama.

[Steely Tom]

He’s a Democrat, nothing is his responsibility...

But you've got to let him run your life, or you're a bigot.

[Jaded]

As odd as several of the last shootings.

[Lurkinanloomin]

If they re-elect him they deserve everything they get.

Coward County has turned dhimmi.

[loveliberty2]

He’s following the, “I heard about it from the news report,” example of the previous “no leadership” style!

[aquila48]

“I think there was a stand-down order for nefarious reasons...”

I’m definitely not one that’s quick to jump at conspiracy theories, but this case is developing a certain stench...

[knighthawk]

Democrats are never responsible for anything.

[XRdsRev]

THE BUCK STOPS tHERE >>>>>>>>

[jonno]

“If he didn’t have the heart to go in, that’s not my responsibility.”

IOW - “The buck does NOT stop with me.”

[raiderboy]

buck stops with him in Coward county/

So right. And yet, “I’m not responsible” has become an anthem for situations from Obama and Behghazi, IRS, missing $$$ in government, and more.
