Tantrum: Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel Blames NRA For His Suspension
Townhall.com ^ | January 12, 2019 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 01/12/2019 2:48:05 PM PST by Kaslin

As Cortney noted, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel has been suspended by Gov. Ron DeSantis. This was expected. Israel had told staff prior to this announcement that this would most likely happen.  And Gov. DeSantis made it official. 

Israel, who has been criticized for how his department responded to the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school last February, also took part in the CNN town hall event, where he slammed the National Rifle Association. The event was held days after the shooting. Now, with his suspension, Israel has blamed the NRA, and said this was all about politics. 

"There was no wrong doing on my part" says ousted Broward Sheriff Scott Israel.

NEW: Suspended Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel responds to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' Executive Order: "This suspension is not about what occurred on February 14th... this was about politics, not about Parkland." https://t.co/U7vcZIgAW8 pic.twitter.com/ka1XYd0vZ8— ABC News (@ABC) January 11, 2019

It was also revealed after this CNN town hall that his deputy never went into the building to confront the shooter, Nikolas Cruz. Still, as it became clear that Israel’s department dropped that ball, he remained adamant that nothing was his fault. There were also allegations that Israel had built a political machine in the county with taxpayer money, but the mounting criticism to the response to the school shooting prompted a confidence vote from the rank-and-file. And it didn’t get better. A deputy, who has since been fired, that was in charge of school security after the shooting was caught sleeping on the job

I'm glad that there is some justice given today. And to @ScottJIsrael , who tried to blame me and others for his incompetencies, there is so, so much I could say to you, and would, if I wasn’t trying to be a better Christian. Instead, I’m just going to pray for you. Genuinely.— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 11, 2019

85% of Scott Israel’s deputies voted no confidence in him. Parkland parents of every political persuasion stood by the podium cheering the decision. He says this is “unjust.” Tell that to the 17 families who unjustly lost a loved one. https://t.co/EkKC6vZuow— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) January 12, 2019

More from the Executive Order: “Sheriff Israel’s deputies interviewed by the MSD Public Safety Commission could not remember the last time they attended active shooter training or what type of training they received...” @CBSMiami @ccoddcbs4news @DeFede @FrancesWangTV #developing— liz roldan (@lizroldancbs4) January 11, 2019

Why isn’t he blaming the Russians? Isn’t that what Democrats do?

"Happy Days" pic of imbecile Sheriff Israel with Cong Debbie W/S......she is a Broward resident.

It is common for a Congressman to secure federal monies for their district.

<><> What part did D/W/S play in securing the $58 million bribes, er, I mean tax dollars Obama showered on Broward for keeping minorities off the arrest roles?

<><> The troubled Cruz was visited by Broward police some 47 times before the massacre.

<><> Where are the police reports of L/E's 47 visits?

<><>Did D/W/S have any nice things to say about Cruz BEFORE he massacred students and faculty?

<><> Did D/W/S have a hand in keeping Cruz off the arrest records so Broward could cash in?

<><> Can the imbecile Sheriff and the Congressional beast from Broward account for all of Obama's $58 million?

<><> The good-for-nothing Sheriff also had a $800M L/E budget. Can the bozo account for all that money??

Under Florida law, the governor can suspend elected officials for
criminal activity, misfeasance, incompetence or neglect of duty.

Father of massacred student, Meadow, Andy Pollack, will bring down many many Democrats, not only in Broward County,
but in other Democrat-infected cities where school crime rates ”magically” fell as Obama’s criminal PROMISE program was adopted----
the Promise MO consisted of (a) bribing cops to lay-off, (b) lying, (c) and falsifying official documents to (d) steal federal tax dollars.

Broward jumped in feet-first...seeing a dollar sign on every crime....big or small. It was all gleefully pocketed.
N-o-t-h-i-n-g was allowed to stand in the way of the federal tax dollars pouring into Broward.

Broward L/E was called to Cruz's home 47 times.....but the bribed cops pretended nothing was amiss.
All that was required was to have Cruz attend a sap-happy "healing circle" mandated by PROMISE.

Speaking of the ball-less Broward bunch---looks to me the gonad-lite mega-paid Supt Runcie (Obama's stupid pick)
did THE VERY LEAST he could do in the wake of the massacres. He needs to be unceremoniously ousted.

Runcie looked mighty worried (below) when the Sun Sentinel caught up with him for the story of multiple
exiting school officials....all of them subjects of the murdered students parents' escalating anger.

Supt Runcie alerted School Board members of the departure of human resources' Nichols, head since 2015 who ignorantly
overruled the firing of a school security guard found sexually harassing students, including one of the murdered students.

Parents were outraged to learn that School Security Guard Medina was still employed by the school.

In fact, Medina was the first to see Cruz on school property carrying a rifle bag that infamous day BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT IT.

Runcie placed the blame solely on the exiting Nichols. “Mr. Nichols signed off on it,” Runcie said at the time.
“I was not aware of it until after it was brought up." That’s all the $400,000 Supt had to say.
NOTE: Harasser Medina and another security type whose performance on Feb. 14 was deemed ineffective were let go.
(SOURCE: Sun Sentinel report)

Runcie is a stupid excuse for a $400,000 Supt..... doesnt understand IT IS HIS JOB to know these things and TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Assuming Officer Scot Peterson has nominal intelligence----knows he's a P/O with clear duties-----the question is "why didnt he go in?" The answer is easy.......if Peterson went in and apprehended a minority (Cruz the shooter)......this would have stopped up the federal tax dollars Obama was pouring into Broward. Big Money ...as long as they kept minorities off the arrest roles. Deputy Peterson was apparently ordered to "wait outside."

Adhering to The Obama Plan was clearly the order of the day.

Broward Police Captain Jan Jordan told sheriff's deputies to 'stage' and form a perimeter outside the shooting...... as students and teachers were being massacred inside. Jordan also denied deployment of two Rescue Task Force teams that had arrived. Three paramedics and 3-4 officers had rushed to the scene to help---but Jordan denied them entry.....

A lesbian, Jan Jordan, 49, was in charge of deputies who responded to the first calls of the shooting.
Broward Sheriff Scott Israel himself placed Captain Jan Jordan in charge of the school massacre scene.

Jordan has since left her Captain's job, but she, like Peterson, Runcie and Sheriff Israel are still cashing Broward paychecks.

He’s lucky he wasn’t permanently “suspended” by the parent of one of the murdered kids...

Timing is everything and he is no longer protected by his tin star.

The first rule of leftism; never take responsibility. Always blame your faults and mistakes on someone else; preferably someone the dem-communist party doesn’t like already.

It's up to you to give the NRA some muscle to work with between now and the 2020 general election. Time flies.

But isn't there some kind of 'trial' or the like that takes place?

Can a Gov get rid of someone just 'cause he wants to?
