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."

"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."

Or in other words, the deputies arrived before the crisis was large enough...

Per the headline, “THAT’S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY”.

That comment goes over about as well as a salted fart in a peanut shell.

Sheriff has as much credibility as the Las Vegas Police Department.

Is this a nationwide problem for our Law Enforcement?

Sheriff has plans to run for higher office???

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."...fascinating that he won't accept any blame for what his deputy did - that's considered the deputy's personal responsibility - yet - it's not the shooter's personal responsibility for killing seventeen people, that's farmed out to the NRA......
