ACTIVE SHOOTER: MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL IN PARKLAND

Turns out there was 4 armed deputy officers who stayed outside and did nothing while these kids were murdered.

(CNN) When Coral Springs police officers arrived at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14 in the midst of the school shooting crisis, many officers were surprised to find not only that Broward County Sheriff's Deputy Scot Peterson, the armed school resource officer, had not entered the building, but that three other Broward County Sheriff's deputies were also outside the school and had not entered, Coral Springs sources tell CNN. The deputies had their pistols drawn and were behind their vehicles, the sources said, and not one of them had gone into the school.

With direction from the Broward deputies who were outside, Coral Springs police soon entered the building where the shooter was. New Broward County Sheriff's deputies arrived on the scene, and two of those deputies and an officer from Sunrise, Florida, joined the Coral Springs police as they went into the building.
Some Coral Springs police were stunned and upset that the four original Broward County Sheriff's deputies who were first on the scene did not appear to join them as they entered the school, Coral Springs sources tell CNN. It's unclear whether the shooter was still in the building when they arrived.

 

-“I know he’s going to explode,” a woman who knew Mr. Cruz said on the F.B.I.’s tip line on Jan. 5. Her big worry was that he might resort to slipping “into a school and just shooting the place up.”

-Three months before the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, a family friend dialed 911 to tell the Broward County sheriff’s office about Mr. Cruz’s personal arsenal. “I need someone here because I’m afraid he comes back and he has a lot of weapons,” the friend said.

-In Ms. Deschamps’s 911 call, she told the dispatcher that Mr. Cruz already had about eight guns that he kept at a friend’s house and that he had just been thrown out of the house after the tantrum in which he punched the walls, hurled things around her home

-She added: “It’s not the first time he put a gun on somebody’s head.” Ms. Deschamps made it clear that her new houseguest was obsessed with firearms and had threatened both his mother and his brother. “That’s all he wants is his gun,” she said. “And that’s all he cares about is his gun. He bought tons of bullets and stuff

-On Nov. 30, two and a half months before the Parkland massacre, an unidentified caller from Massachusetts told the Broward County sheriff’s office that Mr. Cruz was collecting guns and knives and that “he could be a school shooter in the making.”

-Two years before, the office reported receiving “thirdhand information” from the son of one of Mr. Cruz’s neighbors that he “planned to shoot up the school on Instagram.”

-The tip that the F.B.I. received in early January from someone close to Mr. Cruz suggested that he owned a gun and had talked about carrying out a school shooting. But the bureau failed to investigate, even though the tipster said Mr. Cruz had a “desire to kill people, erratic behavior and disturbing social media posts.”

-The F.B.I. also received a tip from a bail bondsman in Mississippi in September about a suspicious comment left on his YouTube channel by a “nikolas cruz” who professed a desire to be a “professional school shooter.” The bondsman notified YouTube, which promptly took down the comment.

-Over the course of the January call, which lasted more than 13 minutes, the tipster warned the F.B.I. that Mr. Cruz had been adrift since his mother’s death in November. The tipster provided four Instagram accounts for Mr. Cruz, which she said showed photos of sliced up animals and the firearms he had amassed. The caller, whose name was redacted on the transcript, said Mr. Cruz had used money from a life insurance policy after his mother’s death to purchase the weapons.

“If you go onto his Instagram pages, you’ll see all the guns,” the woman said.

-Before she died in early November, Mr. Cruz’s mother, Lynda Cruz, had called the authorities numerous times over the past decade to report her son. She said he had hit her with the plastic hose from a vacuum, and once threw her against the wall after she took his Xbox away, adding that he suffered from anger issues as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

-Since Columbine in 1999, it has been standard protocol for authorities on site not to wait for backup or reinforcements but to engage the gunman immediately and disrupt the spray of gunfire. And yet....


-When Coral Springs police officers arrived at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Schoolin Parkland, FL, on Valentine’s Day, they saw not just the officer assigned to the school but three more Broward police officers with pistols drawn but taking cover behind their cars as a gunman was inside killing 17 students and staff, CNN’s Jake Tapper reported Friday, citing sources.

When those Coral Springs police entered the building, the four original Broward officers on scene did not join them, sources told CNN.


It is far easier to believe this was allowed to happen than convince oneself that it was just an unexpected tragedy.

 

I love a good conspiracy but can never truly buy into them. But they certainly allowed this to happen. The key is whether it was delinquency or malfeasance. Bullshit detector doesn't allow me to believe authorities wanted kids to be slaughtered. What is your belief.

 

One would have to believe that EVERYONE involved in the conspiracy wants the EXACT same thing. There’s no way that every single FBI agent or any law enforcement officer involved in any way with Cruz and the reports about him, are cool with dead kids. There’s just no way. What I can buy into is laziness and incompetence. That shit runs rampant.

That sheriff better just be happy to finish out his term and not run for re-election. Because that election would be disgustingly brutal.

 

I dunno, but it seems to me that EVERY school shooting features armed deputies/SWAT cowering behind dumpsters or “tactical” vehicles.

I used to give our resource officer Hell about armed law enforcement taking cover while students and teachers were being shot up with neither weapons nor cover.

 

Lost in the outrage at the NRA is the disastrous failure of the authorities at all levels. This could have been prevented.

Yep.

Good read, thanks.

 

The Sheriff tries to go after the NRA and they fought back saying the Sheriff's dept is the one who failed to protect those kids and they were right. They failed them

 

Obviously and the feds.
