This statement was issued for only ONE REASON:
1) To defend against future anticipated lawsuits.
No amount of duct tape could force me to keep my mouth shut and screaming my story from the tallest rooftop if I was this guy IF, and that is a big IF, what he was saying was true. And I obviously would not have resigned and nor use an attorney as a spokesman.
He is a lying coward.
Coward and liar. I thought a lock down in a suspected or known shooter situation was automatic, hence the description “code red”. Why would he need to initiate it?
He should have moved closer to the shooting as long as he could remain safe or have some cover. A brave officer would have engaged the shooter to save the lives of the kids.
A first responder can sometimes end the incident. Or at least get close enough to identify details of what is happening.
Staying in the parking to was cowards;y. The Coral Gables cops went past the sheriffs deputies pointing out how cowardly and frozen the SO employees were.
Did he happen to notice any screams coming from inside the school ? What did lock down procedure involve ? What about the other 3 Broward Co deputies that were also on the outside the school doing nothing ? The FBI just looked the other way.
Sorry but this was allowed to happen in order to bring us down
emotionally, wear us down. Throw up our hands. The poor students who have who have come together to try to do something about guns have been co opted by the leftist deep state.
This coward should be stripped of his badge and gun. If he was not prepared to sacrifice his life to save especially a young person's life, he needs to find another line of work. He is more concerned with his pension than his PURPOSE. Perhaps the FBI is hiring? lol
Don’t ever trust anyone named Scot/Scott Peterson!
THE FACTS THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT PARKLAND
In the Parkland case, their security system had a dismal record concerning student safety and security that should be brought to public discussion particularly beginning with this school having a so called “gun free zone”.
From what has been reported .This school system did have an understanding with the Broward County Sheriff’s Dept. An officer who may be armed assigned to patrol the multi acre site in a golf cart, but bans guns from the rest of its internal security
Criticism arose when the officer assigned to this duty who was nearing retirement was reported to arrive late and after Cruz had entered the building. The officer stationed himself outside the large structure and had called for support. Two BCSD officers responded Which and did the same seeming to refusing to enter the building while armed . He then left before Cruz did.
Also responding was the Coral Springs PD who entered the building and cleared it. Cruz was captured while fleeing with other students by an alert CSPD officer off the 45 acre campus. While para medics were denied entrance by the BCSD to see if they could save any of the victims.
Those laissez faire attitudes strongly suggest examining records beside the interaction between the BCSD and this school board also calls for a review how the bureaucracy at this school handled student vs student, and student vs teacher (Cruz was accused of this) altercations, vandalism, thefts, and drug use. Which are bound to occur were being dealt with.To which a dramatic reduction in disciplinary incidents were reported after the selection of Obama’s friend as school superintendent occurred which was publicly acclaimed.and was receiving large grant from Obama’s Attorrney General because of those results. That many critics claimed encouraged criminal activity.
Because of these Ding Bat liberal policies it brings up another question. Just how safe and secure were those kids ? .Examine records reporting how student vs student, and student vs teacher altercations, vandalism, and thefts, which are bound to occur were being dealt with. Beside the arrangements with the BCSD.
Because in an educational unit this size it’s pretty clear their security system failed . In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten within the grounds let alone inside.
Now that school board has decided to tear down the school which was probably raised by a funding referendums and the grounds house a memorial

I want to know more about the 3+ other cowards that were there also. They did not get outed and resign, the sheriff and fellow officers are now protecting them behind an all-to-typical wall-of-silence.
