A Florida police department has accused local sheriff deputies of failing to confront the mass shooter or enter Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the attack last week.
Broward County Sheriff's Deputy Scot Peterson, the armed school resource officer, was branded a 'coward' by President Trump after it emerged he waited outside the building during the recent mass shooting that claimed the lives of 17 students and teachers.
Now Coral Springs police officers have revealed that when they responded to the shooting, they found another three Broward County Sheriff's deputies cowering behind their vehicles, law enforcement sources told CNN.
Not one of the four deputies had entered the school, sources said.

Broward County Sheriff's Office did not return reporters' requests for comment.
Peterson was suspended after the allegations emerged, and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said that he plans to investigate the claims that the other three officers did not try and tackle the shooter.
'If our investigation shows that our deputies made no mistakes or did things right, or it's not corroborated, there will be no issue,' Israel told the Sun Sentinel.
'If we find out, as we did with Peterson, that our deputies made mistakes and didn't go in, I'll handle it like I always have. I'll handle any violations of policy or procedures or whatever accordingly.'
Surveillance footage, from cameras at the scene, is currently being reviewed which will provide definitive proof of the sheriff's office response, along with an official report from Coral Springs officers.
But it seems that the Broward deputies' alleged fail to act is causing friction between the two law enforcement groups.

That growing resentment boiled over on February 15, the day after the fatal shooting, when officers from both Coral Springs and Broward attended the candlelit vigil for victims.
Coral Springs City Manager Mike Goodrum angrily confronted Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, in front of a dozen witnesses, over the claims that Israel's officers had remained outside the high school while students could have been bleeding out inside, sources said.

An internal email by sent by Coral Springs Police Chief Tony Pustizzi just days after the shooting, appears to show that his officers had concerned about how the Sheriff's Department were presenting themselves in the wake of the shooting

Goodrum later admitted to having a 'heated moment' with the sheriff but said they had put the confrontation behind them.
'Given the horrific events of that day emotions were running high and the sheriff and I had a heated moment the following evening,' he told CNN.
'Sheriff Israel and I have spoken several times since and I can assure you that our departments have a good working relationship and the utmost respect for each other.'
Coral Springs Mayor Skip Campbell is now demanding answers and told the Sun Sentinel that the allegations, if true, made him 'furious.'

'I understand that another agency has given the impression that it had provided the majority of the rescue efforts, and that the tremendous work of the Coral Springs Police and Fire Departments has not been recognized,' he said in the email, obtained by CNN.
'Please know that this issue will be addressed, and the truth will come out in time.'

Suspected gunman Nikolas Cruz appears in court for a status hearing before Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer on February 19

The massacre ranks as the second-deadliest shooting ever at a U.S. public school, and was carried out by a lone gunman wielding a semiautomatic AR-15-style assault rifle.
Coral Springs officers reported that they arrived at the scene on February 14, and were stunned to find all four deputies still outside the building, with their pistils drawn.
With some direction from the Broward deputies, the Coral Springs officers entered the building to track down the shooter.
Additional Broward deputies soon arrived, and two of them joined the Coral Springs officers inside the building, along with an officer from Sunrise City Police.
Israel has confirmed that video from the school shows Deputy Peterson, the school's armed response officer and former employee of the month, standing outside the building for more than four minutes while suspected gunman Nikolas Cruz, 19, opened fire inside.
'What I saw was a deputy arrive at the west side of Building 12, take up a position and he never went in,' said Sheriff Israel, referring to the building on campus, popularly known as the 'freshman building,' where authorities said the bulk of the shooting occurred.
Israel told reporters the shooting in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Parkland lasted six minutes, and that Peterson arrived at the freshman building about 90 seconds after the first shots were fired, then lingered outside for at least four minutes.
Asked what the deputy should have done, Israel replied: 'Went in. Addressed the killer. Killed the killer.'
Peterson has not given a reason for why he did not enter the building, Israel said.
Neither the deputy nor any representatives could immediately be reached for comment.
Israel said he would not release the video at this time and may never do so, 'depending on the prosecution and criminal case' against Cruz, the 19-year-old former student who is charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder in the assault.
Peterson was initially suspended without pay, and has since resigned.

Yep - most people dont know how they would react in the face of adversity, as most have never truly faced it.
These guys are trained in ways in which their comfort level is much higher than a normal citizen.
The fact that they cowered like pussies is very odd and suggestive in my opinion.

4 is a lot.

Knowing children are being killed.

Like you said they are trained.

Two police officers have emotionally recalled the terrifying moment they entered the Florida school where a gunman was on the loose while a number of sheriff deputies cowered outside.
Coral Springs Police Department officers Chris Crawford and Sgt. Jeff Heinrich recounted their heroics during a local news conference on Friday, describing the 'surreal' events of that fateful Valentine's Day.
The incident 'was bad as you can imagine — times 10,' Crawford said in the aftermath of the campus shooting. 'I have a 2-year-old. I don't want to send him to school.'

par for the course for cops.

They are nothing but overpaid cheerleaders.

Only there for show.

They don't start to act like big shots till the danger has clearly passed.

I wonder if there is a point to be made by telling you that you're an ass?

I guess not.

Pretty sure we’ve never had a issue. Until now. Wow, not called for

Yea, keep the kids out of jail, Sheriff. And make sure they get the mental health care help you promised. You fraud.

What the fuck is going on here? Really, that many pussies localized in one area of Florida in law enforcement?! Something smells..

THawk+ · Feb 26, 2018

That pretty much explains it then. The sheriff is a pussy and his force follow in his lead.

A unit is only as good as it's leadership, hence why they sat outside and did nothing. Their boss is soft so they are also

Need to fire Israel and clean out his department from all the soft useless pussies that infest it..

Wow! Some common sense comes out of the House.

Speaker Paul Ryan says GOP will look at "system failures," not gun control, in wake of Florida shooting.

"There was a colossal breakdown in the system," Ryan, R-Wis., told reporters at a news
conference on Tuesday. Ryan cited inaction by a deputy stationed outside the school and
tips called in to federal and local law enforcement officials about the alleged shooter,
Nikolas Cruz, which raised concerns that the 19-year-old was planning such a rampage.

Duh?
