Watching The Cops Title: Stand down? Broward captain ordered deputies to wait during Parkland massacre In other words, it became effectively a stand-down order while shots rang out: Capt. Jan Jordan, commander of BSOs Parkland district, gave the order, the log shows, identifying her by her police call sign. Broward Sheriff Scott Israel has said BSO training and nationwide active-shooter procedure call for armed law enforcement officers to confront shooters immediately rather than secure a scene. The document raises fresh questions about the departments handling of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14. It certainly does, although those arent the only pressing issues about the BSO and Nikolas Cruz. It raises fresh questions about Sheriff Scott Israels rush to focus public attention on Peterson, too, who may or may not have been responding to Jordans order when deciding to hold his position rather than enter the school. Oddly, the statement from Petersons attorney never mentions this order from Jordan, although it certainly would help mitigate the perception of his client. Perhaps neither Peterson nor his attorney were aware of it at the time, which would tend not to mitigate Petersons actions. However, it again raises serious questions about Scott Israel. The sheriff went on a media blitz after the shooting to demand gun-control legislation and point the finger everywhere else but at himself and his own department. Israel went far out of his way to hang Peterson out to dry without revealing this order from one of his departments senior leadership. At the very least, Sheriff Israel seems to have no idea what his department was or is doing, and at the worst, hes been deliberately distracting from its failures and their consequences. The stand-down order at the moment of the massacre is bad enough, but thats not the only one for which Israels department is responsible. Their pursuit of the Obama-era Promise program was a broad stand-down in the face of dozens of opportunities to intervene effectively with Cruz. The BSO had made forty-five calls to Cruz house over a few years, and the school had twenty-five separate disciplinary actions against him, including carrying bullets into the school. Other students had repeatedly warned of Cruz potential for violence at the school, but rather than enforce the law, Israel and BSO colluded with school superintendent Robert Runcie to ignore juvenile crime repeatedly so in Cruz case in order to make juvenile crime statistics look prettier for the Department of Education. So yes, lets probe the stand-down order from Captain Jordan and hold deputies responsible for their failures on February 14th. But lets focus much more attention on the stand-down orders that had been in place for years and allowed Cruz to escape responsibility for earlier crimes, which would have prevented him from purchasing his weapons at all. And lets make sure that Scott Israel gets removed from this equation and identified as a particularly discreditable source from this point forward, too. Poster Comment: Just how long does it take to get to the basic facts of the police conduct while the corrupt sheriff runs around on libmedia, trying to demonize gunowners and the NRA.

I still dont know if he is a coward or not. But I damned well know that he shouldnt have been called a coward ONLY on the basis of what was being reported.
We should have had all this info in the first few days after the shooting. The FBI seems to be pretty worthless except when it comes to launching phony political witchhunts and leaking to the Beltway press. They need to clean house at the FBI in a major way.
True...on all points. Have to go for now....market just closed.
