SO SAYS THE (highly suspicious) SHERIFF

But what does Scot Peterson say in his own defense? There is no record, and we would like to hear it.

(could it be that the feds pulled him back and now he is under a death threat? That would be nothing new.)

A Florida sheriff says the deputy who was on duty at a high school where 17 people were massacred waited outside the building for about four minutes without ever going in.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel announced during a Thursday news conference that Deputy Scot Peterson resigned after being suspended without pay.

Israel said he made the decision after reviewing video surveillance and interviewing witnesses, including the deputy himself. The sheriff says Peterson responded to the building where the shooting took place, took up a position outside a door and never went in.

When asked what Peterson should have done, Israel said the deputy should have “went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer.”

(Ed. Note that cannot be resisted: Israel ain’t gone too far in skool.)

Authorities say 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz fatally shot 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Feb. 14.
