Newly elected governor Ron DeSantis finally has free reins to fire Sheriff Scott Israel for gross neglect of his duties. The Daily Caller reports:
A judge dismissed Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel’s lawsuit Thursday challenging his suspension by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the wake of the Parkland school shooting.
DeSantis had accused Israel of failing to prevent the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on Feb. 14, 2018 that left 17 people dead. The Republican governor issued an executive order removing Israel from duty in January.
Israel sued to overturn the removal, claiming DeSantis had overstepped his constitutional authority. Broward Circuit Court Judge David Haimes ruled the order was compliant with Florida’s Constitution, according to The Associated Press.“I am pleased that the court recognizes my authority as governor to suspend a public official for reasons of neglect of duty and incompetence,” DeSantis said in a prepared statement. “Now, I will ask the Senate to move forward with the process of the formal removal of Scott Israel. Broward County deserves professional law enforcement leadership that will safeguard the best interests of the community and work diligently for the protection of life.”
The people of Broward county deserves a sheriff that will actually protect them when violent criminals attack them.
Sooo, what was the final ‘verdict’ of what the sheriff did wrong? I’ve been waiting to hear the facts of the case, and not just hearsay. Can anyone fill me in?
Good for the Gov. Israel doesn’t even deserve a pension and neither does the school cop who hid outside, and neither do all the cops who hide behind their patrol cars !!!
There IS a God! DeSantis just proved it.
A search of Sheriff Israel with “Mus lim” gets hits such as “Sheriff Israel Pushes Gun Control While His Deputy Is Telling Muslims to Arm Themselves;” “Sheriff Scott Israel’s deputy provided firearms training for radical mosque;” “Sheriff Scott Israel’s deputy provided firearms training for radical mosque;” & more.
There’s even a video: “A video has surfaced of Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel attending a meeting of Muslims, where both Israel and one of his deputies spoke in Arabic. The deputy said that Israel pledged to keep young people out of jail and to put ‘God first, your family second and the community third.’ Israel speaks in Arabic to a 2015 meeting of Muslims.”
Thanks Mr.D,For BEING the Gov.(Fellow Vet) 🙂 Insted of that Freaking Clown!! Yea,Ruin,The Whole state,Like you did your city Moron!!Go Away Loser!!(dem mayor) Semper Fi,Art Crosby
I just read an article today, that the coward filed an appeal to the court ruling. This coward actually believes that he has the right to keep on being sheriff. And he has supporters, who think the same thing!
It is disheartening to see that people like this coward, believe that the citizens of Boward Country do not deserve the justice to have this coward and arrogant sheriff to be removed.
Does he still get to claim his Pension? I hope not.
As a resident of Broward County, I have little to like. Scott Israel is just the latest. We are also cursed with the likes of Debbie Wasserman and Brenda Snipes. Governor DeSantis has at least moved to get rid of one of these worthless slugs.
This is why we must fight against the on slot of voter fraud coming our way in every election from here on. Democrats have lost so many of their voters and putting all their eggs into the basket of illegals. Other wise we will never get rid of problem corrupt people like your Wasserman, and Snipes and our corrupt Governor Inslee, and Both Congressional Politicians Cantwell, and Murry. Got to stop their corruption and lies.
Here come the Liberal lawyers and all the money sucking idiots like Sharpton and Garagose if he’s not in jail but anyway Hahahaha way to go they all need to go
Ah, maybe a light at the end of the tunnel.
Scott and DeSantis—big wins for Florida and the good ole US of A
MAGA
Wait a minute. Isn’t this the same as when he tried to remove that incompetent vote counter idiot? Where was the constitution, there?
Apparently, the problem was Brenda was black, but Scott is white, so, okay.
I LIKED THE VIDEO OF DESANTIS AND HIS LITTLE DAUGHTER BUILDING THE WALL.
DESANTIS WILL BE GREAT FOR FLORIDA.
I like the videos of Islamists killiing innocents in christian churches all over the world and this teenager that circumvented easy security to kill lots of kids despite the fact we had officers right there ready to intercede !
DeSantis better watch his back Israel’s a buddy of Killary
Kil-liar-y has a lot of body bags in her history. knowing how corrupt and vile the Clintons truly are, they have no problem in increasing the body bag count.
Good for Gov DeSantis! Thank you for putting the residents of Florida ahead of politics. The incompetence of this sheriff,
his actions and orders, causing death , is deplorable!
Hopefully his Karma will not be kind!
God bless Florida and the students who were taken too soon!
God bless america??????????
awesome
The country needs more Govenors like DeSantis
I hope that some of the demoRat cesspools will get governor’s like ov. DeSantis and our Gov. Kemp in Georgia. We can look forward to the hopefully eight years of great leadership from both of them.
No they don’t! The word on the street in Tampa is that he cheated his brains out in the election and disenfranchised around 100,000 people who had gotten their votes back. The GOP has got to get its stuff together before 2020 because their countrywide shenanigans are really turning people off!
I think you are accusing the wrong party! If
Tampa is not known for the brightest of people !
“Word on the street” is also known as “heresay” and “rumor”. Usually unreliable, and given to inaccuracy.
You mean like the NY Times?
I agree, but first we need to wake up the voters, especially in the Blue States and the over dominated Democrat Cities.
