ABOUT TIME! Broward County Prepares To Kick Disgraced Sheriff Israel To The Curb

I have the utmost respect for our law enforcement officers.

With that said, I think Sheriff Scott Israel is an embarrassment to his title, and a chump of the highest order.

He could have taken full responsibility, resigned, and then joined Hogg and Friends as an “activist” and become a liberal hero.

Or BETTER YET, he could have taken full responsibility, resigned, and gone away, never to be seen or heard from again. (This has my vote.)

But no. The imbecile decided to launch a little campaign about how good a leader he is.

Freaking disgusting, honestly.

Well, the Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association is FINALLY doing what they should have done two months ago.

According to this:

The Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association has scheduled a no-confidence vote for Sheriff Scott Israel over his behavior during the lead-up to and aftermath of the Parkland school shooting, union president Deputy Jeff Bell announced Friday.

The union is accusing Israel of “many instances of suspected malfeasance, misfeasance, failure to maintain fiduciary responsibility by the sheriff, failure to properly investigate possible criminal conduct by members of his senior command staff and the lack of leadership that has crushed morale throughout the agency.”

It’s ABOUT TIME.

Israel’s stock skyrocketed in the initial aftermath of the shooting, highlighted by his appearance at CNN’s town hall with students and family from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, yet as more information became public about his department’s response, a clear pattern of at-the-least negligence on his part became clear.

The sheriff has resisted calls from nearly 100 Florida lawmakers to resign, and he refused to participate in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the shooting in March.

“He declined,” Chairman Chuck Grassley flatly said of Israel’s decision not to attend. “I’ve seen that sheriff all over television discussing the shooting, so it’s disappointing that he has refused to speak to the country through his testimony before this committee.”

I have NO doubt those voting will make the right decision.

Israel needs to GO.
