We know he spoke on the detail of the one officer, and didn't mention the other three.
"What matters is that when we, in law enforcement, arrive at an active shooter, we go in and address the target," the sheriff said. "And that’s what should’ve been done."
When asked what Peterson should have done, Israel said the deputy should have "went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer."
We know he knew it was more than one officer waiting outside.
We know he was confronted in public the day after the shooting about the fact that four officers were outside doing nothing,
The resentment among Coral Springs officials toward Broward County officials about what they perceived to be a dereliction of duty may have reached a boiling point at a vigil the night of February 15, where, in front of dozens of others, Coral Springs City Manager Mike Goodrum confronted Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel.
We know the media didn't report this fact until the responding PD forced their hand.
We know the Coral Springs PD knew the truth was not being told, and sent out this email,
"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. Please know that this issue will be addressed, and the truth will come out in time. The focus for us now, however, must be on healing -- for ourselves, our families, our community and those residents surrounding us. While recognition is not the reason we choose to do what we do, our Commission, City Manager and residents are well aware of the actions our members took in the face of danger and the heroes that you are."
I don't see how random chance is anyone's explanation for what happened. The guy has been lying from the start, and the media tried to cover for him. The fact that he withheld information makes me think he has something he doesn't want getting out, and it probably rhymes with fandown border.
