Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik: Broward Sheriff Should Resign

There are 17 people dead because of catastrophic failures by the local, state and federal government, but the cowardice by sworn law enforcement personnel is unfathomable"
 
Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik said it was "outrageous" if reports were confirmed that four Broward County sheriff's deputies failed to enter the Parkland, Florida, high school during a February 14 shooting that claimed 17 lives.

"It's outrageous. I've never heard anything like this before," Kerik told Newsmax on Saturday.
"If these reports are true, these deputies are constitutionally bound to engage the shooter to protect the students," Kerik added.

He said the deputies should be investigated by the Florida attorney general's office, not by an interagency probe of the Broward County Sheriff's Department. If they neglected their duty, he maintained they should be charged with "criminally negligent homicide."

    Great....just what we need. ANOTHER ignoramus spewing BS. And this one is a former Police Commissioner. The above statement is PATENTLY FALSE. The SCOTUS has ruled NUMEROUS TIMES that LEO have NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT to provide protection to ANY PERSON and cannot be legally held accountable for failing to do so. The Coward County Deputies are scum, dirtbags and wastes of skin but the law is clear....they CANNOT be punished for failing to save lives. This is a settled matter under the law. The MOST we can hope for is they are all hounded, abused and denigrated by EVERYONE they meet till they all go home and suck start a Glock.
