Plus, he is free to go work somewhere else and still receive his full pension.

Scot Peterson, the sheriff’s deputy vilified for failing to confront the Parkland school shooter, has begun receiving a state pension of $8,702.35 a month.
Peterson resigned and retired Feb. 22, a week after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where he waited outside as Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people and wounded 17 others.
Peterson began to receive his pension in April, according to the Florida Department of Management Services. He can receive the payments for the rest of his life.
The 55-year-old Peterson, a Broward deputy for 32 years, was paid $101,879.03 last year — $75,673.72 in base salary plus overtime and other compensation, according to sheriff’s office records. Until the shooting, he was considered a trusted school resource officer at Stoneman Douglas, according to annual reviews of his performance.
I guess it goes to show that even a coward is entitled to their pension for their years of work, rather than for the actual quality of their work that they did.

Collectivism in a nutshell. Quality, merit, innovation, etc. are meaningless.
So....$104k a year for a DEPUTY? Not a sheriff, not a special agent or investigator of any kind? But a base level employee dumped into a looser assignment as a school attendant? Nah, we don't have a problem with public employees being overpaid and overcompensated. Not at all.
Guess failure to perform doesn’t matter in gov jobs
