Not one but four sheriff’s deputies hid behind cars instead of storming Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during last week’s school shooting, according to a new report.
Sources from Coral Springs Police Department tell CNN that when officers arrived on the scene, they were shocked to find three Broward County Sheriff’s deputies behind their cars with their weapons drawn.
The school’s armed resource officer, Deputy Scot Peterson was also outside — he resigned Thursday over his failure to act.
The cops entered the building to engage the shooter on their own, and then a new batch of Broward County deputies arrived, and two of those officers — plus an officer from Sunrise, Florida — joined the police inside the building, the sources said.
It’s unclear if the shooter was still inside at the time, CNN reports.
Now it's four deputies that failed to save lives in this terrible shooting! All these guys need to be fired. I'm not sure how these county deputies got there before the cities cops. Maybe they were in the area for a drill just like the state troopers in Sandy Hook Connecticut. Very strange if you ask me.
This is a perfect example of why teachers need to conceal carry firearms in the classroom because when seconds count the police are nowhere to be fucking seen.
I heard the Florida governor wants to up the age of gun buyers from 18 years old to 21 years old. Ya sure, that will stop them from buying guns just like it stops kids from consuming alcohol, right? Complete waste of time to get that implement. They'd be better off repealing laws that ban guns in school, train their law enforcement to do their fucking job during a mass shooting and put guys like this that threaten to shoot up schools on the do not sell list. That's seem pretty logical to fix the laws already on the books that failed these murder kids than add a new law that doesn't even solve the multiple failures in this event.

I smell class action lawsuit against the sheriff's department.
-Trump: Florida Deputy Did a 'Poor Job'
Trump is on point, this deputy Peterson was hiding behind his car for 5 minutes and could have saved some lives. Maybe the Sheriff should resign too for failing to train his deputies.
