Video evidence reveals that an armed Broward County resource deputy stationed at Stoneman Douglas High School during the Valentine's day massacre did "nothing" during the shooting - instead waiting outside as a gunman opened fire on students and teachers, killing 17.
Speaking at a press conference, Broward Sheriff Scott Israel said the on duty officer at Stoneman "never went in." Israel said he was "devastated" after watching the video showing the deputy taking a position outside the Western side of Building 12 while shots rang out, "and he never went in" despite having a clear view of the entrance.
"I think he remained outside upwards of four minutes," Israel said.
The uniformed officer, identified as Scot Peterson, was been suspended without pay pending an investigation, according to Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel - however he has since resigned and retired from the department.
"As is his right, Scot Peterson chose to resign, because he has the necessary time with the agency and meets the requirements of retirement, he resigned and retired."
"We're not going to disclose the video at this time, and we may never disclose the video depending on the prosecution and the criminal case."
"These families lost their children, we lost coaches. I've been to the funerals. I've been to the homes where they're sitting shiva. I've been to the vigils. It's just, there are no words."
When asked by a reporter what the deputy should have done, the Sheriff replied "Went in. Address the killer. Kill the killer."

He should not be allowed to retire with pay. He was paid to serve and protect...he did neither. The blood of 17 kids is on his hands. Was he told to stand down, I wonder? The deep state is devious beyond comprehension, I think.
ReplyDeleteWas he told to stand down, I wonder?
DeleteHadn't thought of this which would mean the very sheriff who chastised the cop may have given the order to stand down.... Very interesting to say the least.
My first thought is, "Was he ordered to stand down?" There is no way to know. Had he not accidentally been videoed, no one would have ever known. If he suddenly dies, we'll know this was planned.

Agreed.
DeleteThe Sheriff paid to protect the school kids should have been
ReplyDeletecharged with Derelict of Duty. The Columbine school shooting,
the cops stayed outside - military presence during the
memorial service. The Pulse Club Shooting in Orlando, the
cops stood outside. No telling how many others the cops
didn't Serve and Protect. This Sheriff Israel is all about
the politics, not about Serve and Protect. The dirty deed
falls directly on their backs. Trenchcoat murders.

DeleteBlatantly obvious.
