Suspended Broward Sheriff Scott Israel lost his best chance of getting his job back before the 2020 election when a judge ruled Thursday that Gov. Ron DeSantis had every legal right to remove him from office earlier this year.

Broward Circuit Judge David Haimes did not indicate whether he agreed with the governor, but he affirmed that DeSantis was legally justified when he replaced Israel with acting Sheriff Gregory Tony in January.

Do you think that the Colorado or Washington State Governors might remove the brave Sheriffs who refuses to enforce asinine gun laws that were recently voted in by gullible citizens?

I am hoping they are not smart enough to figger this out.

“Governor had the right to dump Sheriff Scott Israel, judge rules”

...making it that much tougher for the Left to have another repeat of their bloodbath.

I was thinking about that when I read the article. The Sheriff’s who might resist can make a case that the laws are unconstitutional. Maybe the Governors can remove them, and maybe the voters can put them back into office. If anywhere, I would look to California and expect that Newsome or his AG would be treacherous enough to do this.

The most ill-conceived tax-funded programs of the Halfrican's unfortunate sojourn in DC.
Obama monetized bad behavior---showering schools with federal tax dollars
as long as they doctored the books and kept budding criminals off police arrest records.
Broward collected some $53 million tax dollars....that we know of.

EVEN WORSE The sap-happy Obama warned school superintendents nationwide that racial disparities in
suspension rates would be in violation of federal anti-discrimination law, and at risk of losing federal funding.

===============================================

The Broward bunch sucked up bigtime especially the gonad-lite mega-paid Supt Runcie (Obama's stupid pick from Chicago)
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.

Sheriff Israel's Disgraced deputy hid as kids got massacred----collects $8702 monthly pension

The Florida sheriff’s deputy on duty during the Parkland massacre — hiding in a stairwell at one point — could be stripped of his retirement benefits. Scott Peterson resigned from the Broward Sheriff’s Office after facing widespread criticism......but was allowed to keep his $8,702 monthly pension, collected since last April.

The disgraced Broward cop worked at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as a school resource officer when gunman Nikolas Cruz started taking out students. The teen killed 17 people — while Peterson took cover in a stairwell outside. According to police officials, Peterson knew Cruz was inside the school building, but he retreated.

Rep. Spencer Roach (R-North Fort Myers) introduced legislation to remove Peterson’s benefits from the Florida Retirement System. “He was at the front of that building and he didn’t enter,” explained Max Schachter, member of the school’s Public Safety Commission. “He could have done something,” Schacter said. “Why did he go away and hide?” Roach’s legislation to strip away Peterson’s benefits will be up for consideration during the legislative session starting March 5.

His will probably be closer to Brenda Snipes’ cash out. She has to struggle by on $200,000 a year.

I hope they send him a bill for the cost of removing his face from the cars.
