Israel has only been a Democrat since he ran for office--
He was registered Republican before then if what I read online was accurate

I can’t bkame them, I’m sure cops are tired of being outgunned. More reason why the average person should have that much firepower
Then quit your freaking job and let someone who intends to do it take over.

The Sheriff should resign in shame, he failed, his department failed, and those so called "deputies" failed.

Actually it shows you what LEO's (that the gun banners demand we rely on) are really made of. Depend on 'em and you will DIE. The proof is in the high school (or pudding if you please).

Dodge, diffuse, evade, shadow box
You are good at ignoring responsibility for causes you support and don't want to admit could be flawed

There is a fair complaint that their failure put the wounded at risk.
SIX MINUTES is not "quickly". "Quickly" is 30 seconds, maybe a minute but not SIX MINUTES. Face it, the Sheriff should be fired or resign and every freaking deputy who stood outside or thinks that waiting for the shooting to end is okay needs to find work as a mall cop. Some LEO's have actually said "well, I'want to go home to my family at the end of shift" or "SCOTUS has ruled that we have no duty to protect the public".

That football coach didn't wait, it wasn't too quick for that HERO football coach to drive a student to the field house to get him to safety THEN return to the campus and stand between the killer and his students giving his life for them unlike those pu$$ys wearing badges outside.

Sorry, I've got smoke coming out my ears right now. Bad enough one cop is worthless but FOUR.
And now the gun grabbers as well as pizz ant left wing politicians want us to trust our very lives to these people?

No thank you very much.

If true that might be why his leadership is so flawed, he can't make up his own mind which ideology he's going to follow.

are you sure that the coach who drove that boy who saw Cruz loading the gun away from the school is one of the ones who was killed by him?

I would think that would be a story the MSM would tend to pick up on
We have heard lot about the students who are alive and trying to change gun laws
The stories about the bravery of those who died have not been revisited with the move vocal living advocates...

FWIW, he was a lifelong republican. He’s been a cop his whole adult life, and is the son of a homicide detective.

He only switched parties in order to run for office.

That might be a little tough since there is no database of NRA members, so to be fair the correct answer is neither you nor I know.

That's interesting to know but it still seems like he might be throwing the school deputy under the bus in this situation. Not all republicans and cops are good guys.
