“If Deputy Didn’t Have the Heart to Go In, That’s Not My Responsibility” -Sheriff Scott Israel

Yes. Yes it is. That is ultimately your responsibility. Your deputies are a direct reflection of YOUR leadership.

The Tribunist writes

Sheriff Scott Israel is quickly becoming the most famous sheriff in the country. After the school shooting February 14th, Sheriff Israel became the face of the law enforcement response. In the days after, his department was plagued by revelations of dereliction of duty. And now the sheriff is fighting to keep his job.

Sheriff Israel’s defense of his department’s response keeps spiraling out of control.

“I gave him a gun. I gave him a badge. I gave him the training,” Sheriff Israel NBC6’s Erika Glover. “If he didn’t have the heart to go in, that’s not my responsibility.”

There are many who feel like Sheriff Israel is the one ultimately responsible for the breakdown in procedure both leading up to the shooting and during the shooting. Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran has even called on the Governor to suspend Israel.

“The speaker sent a letter to the governor that 73 House members joined him in signing,” Breitbart writes. “The Florida Constitution provides the governor with the authority to ‘suspend from office any state officer not subject to impeachment, any officer of the militia not in the active service of the United States, or any county officer, for malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty, drunkenness, incompetence, permanent inability to perform official duties, or commission of a felony, and may fill the office by appointment for the period of suspension.’ Sheriffs are covered by this provision.”

The criticism of the Broward County Sheriff’s Department heated up late last week when news broke that deputies had positioned themselves outside of the building in which a former student, armed with an AR-15, was actively shooting students.

The Sheriff’s deputies didn’t enter the building until after officers from the Coral Springs Police Department arrived and began clearing the building.

This, combined with the long list of warning signs that were missed, is why so many are questioning Israel’s ability to lead.

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Sheriff Israel tried to defend himself.

Tapper asked him if the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School could have been averted if warning signs had been heeded.

“If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, OJ Simpson would still be in the record books,” Israel responded.

Tapper then pressed for a more coherent answer. “We understand everything wasn’t done perfectly,” Israel responded. “That’s life.”

“If it happened in Los Angeles or Chicago or any other city, every person wouldn’t have performed perfectly,” he said. “That’s not what happens.”

“Are you really not taking any responsibility for the multiple red flags that were brought to the attention of the Broward sheriff’s office about this shooter before this incident, whether it was people near him, close to him calling the police?” Tapper asked.

“Jake, I can only take responsibility for what I knew about. I exercised my due diligence. I’ve given amazing leadership to this agency,” Israel added.

“Amazing leadership?” Tapper asked.

What Tapper may have been implying with his incredulous response was the slew of interviews after the shooting given by Israel. He’s been criticized for trying to control the message through his bombastic (and crowd pleasing) attacks on gun owners. He’s also taken heat from the other agencies involved in the response who feel like Israel has taken credit for their actions.

Even the announcement that a…

Build the wall – protect us all

Alan Keyes calls Trump TV speech ‘an act of impeccable statesmanship’

ALAN KEYES — President Trump’s televised address to the nation last week was an act of impeccable statesmanship. He said what was needed, in the way it needed to be said. He addressed the cost –– in human lives, seething disorder, and money –– of the dereliction of duty characteristic of his immediate predecessors (Democrats Obama and Clinton, and Republicans George H.W. and George W. Bush). They neglected or refused to carry out the Constitution’s mandate to see that our nation’s immigration laws are faithfully executed…. (more)

The Washington Post, Bezosgate, and the National Security State

CLIFF KINCAID — The slogan of The Washington Post is “Democracy dies in darkness.” So I did a search of recent articles on its website about its billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, who does business with the CIA and NSA and finds himself in the middle of a sex scandal that makes even liberals cringe. I found a story about his announced “split” with his wife in which a lawyer is quoted as saying “the couple’s amicable joint statement indicates that the split probably won’t be messy or protracted.” The lawyer added, “Sounds like they are making an effort to do this the right way and not make it into a public spectacle.”… (more)
