COWARD or under orders, it does not matter. He did not do his duty to protect and serve.

So he ran away when he found out the “firecrackers” were gunshots?

The Governor should immediately have the FLHP march into the Sheriff’s office and remove his badge and gun and escort him out of the building.

I’m inclined to suggest that all of the deputies involved in this incident should be terminated with prejudice as well.

What I want to know is if he was ordered to stand down.

It took this long to come up with that story? Which basket holds the deplorables?

It is one of those facts of life that an individual can not proclaim themselves either a “hero” or a “coward”.

His actions defines him.

Nice try by his white shoe lawyer, but not buying it.

Next is the lawsuit for wrongful termination. Even though Peterson resigned, Israel had suspended him w/o pay and said he was in the process of terminating him.

Excuses don’t wash.

On scene he knows he is the only person in position to stop the massacre.

He had an OBLIGATION to make every attempt to intervene.

His attorney, Joseph DiRuzzo, said his client believed the gunfire was coming from outside the school.

Then why was he standing there pointing his gun at the building when the Coral Springs police blew past him?

Based on the reports of how Coward County conspired to keep the crime stats down, this guy probably thinks he was doing his "duty".

"The armed school officer branded a coward by President Donald Trump "

Point of order.

Snotty branded himself as a coward with his failure to act for the children.

President Trump merely acknowledged that fact.

If the real hero of the event, Aaron Feis, had a concealed carry the event would have ended before he and perhaps a dozen children were murdered.

Arm the Aarons!

There must have been 911 calls stating the shooter was inside the building. Was that not communicated to Dep. Peterson?

“followed his training”

Did his training include “inside” vs “outside”? This could be the problem.

So much for ‘active shooter’ training.

The important thing here is Scott “the Coward of Broward” Peterson got to go home that night.

I stopped reading right there, as it’s an attorney’s job to make things up to cover his client. Oops, sorry. I did’t mean to offend any attorneys out there.

I should have said: It’s an attorney’s job to present alternative theories to help his client.
