Wait–Did A Broward County Deputy Cover Up A Sexual Assault Committed By Sheriff Israel's Son?
Townhall ^ | 5/25/18 | Matt Vespa

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office has seen better days. After the horrific Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida last February, the law enforcement department has been under siege. First, there’s former Officer Scot Peterson, who was assigned to the school. He was the school resource officer, but never went into the building to confront shooter Nikolas Cruz, who was gunning down faculty and students. Video footage confirmed Peterson never went in, prompting outrage. He resigned after he was placed on unpaid leave.

Then, after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman, another sheriff’s deputy is suspended for falling asleep while on security detail for the school. Sheriff Scott Israel has said he’s delivered amazing leadership, until something goes wrong—then, it’s not my fault. The sheriff’s office visited the residence of Cruz over 40 times prior to the shooting, with some reports alleging that he had pointed firearms at people’s heads. A deputies’ union voted overwhelmingly against Israel in a no confidence vote, though the embattled sheriff refuses to resign.

Well, now there’s a new development within this office. There appears to have been a cover up of an incident that occurred four years ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. It involves the sheriff’s son who partook in what appears to be a sexual assault of a then-freshman. Officer Peterson was assigned to the case (via Daily Wire):

A local Miami news station released an explosive report on Thursday night about a "disturbing assault" that happened at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School four years to the day before the tragic shooting in February. The alleged incident involved one of the sons of Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and was allegedly "covered up" by Officer Scot Peterson, the resource officer who infamously failed to confront the Parkland shooter.

WPLG Local 10 investigative reporter Bob Norman reported Thursday that two 17-year-old students at the school allegedly bullied a 14-year-old freshman boy, with one of the 17-year-olds holding down the student while the other 17-year-old kicked the victim, grabbed his genitals, and then grabbed the victim's own baseball bat and began shoving it against his buttocks "simulating rape" through the boy's clothes.

There was plenty to support reasons for why Israel should have resigned after the Parkland shooting. Now, there seems to be yet another reason, unrelated to the school shooting but still serious. What is going on with this department?

Video at link. "well, we got trouble, right here in Broward County, with a capital T that rhymes with C and that stands for COVER UP" This explains a lot about the NRA is racist and has blood on their hands narrative, deflection. The dirty cops may be dirtier than previously thought. Hoggy Boy and his skinhead sidekick support this scumbag, who's also butt buddies with the Miami chapter of CAIR.

Sue the Sheriff and the Deputies that hid and the School Board into oblivion for their Obama encouraged policy of not reporting student crimes to the police. Sue 'em all!

DC, State Capitol, and local protests/marches mean nothing anymore. It's time to organize lawful assemblies across the street of these socialists'/communists' homes. If local ordinances allow such activities, give fair warning so their children are not at home.

Just keep walking on the public sidewalks so as not to impede pedestrian access and NO bullhorns or loud chants that disturb the peace. I used to be a coordinator of street activist rallies and when fellow demonstrators broke our rules or law, my assistants would tell them to stop or leave or we would call the cops, which were usually close by.

Just a few with appropriate signage would make a point. Look into your local ordinances.
