It’s become pretty clear that Broward County Sherrif Scott Israel needs to resign. His office failed the people of Florida. Plain and simple.

From National Review:

It is impossible to imagine circumstances under which Broward County sheriff Scott Israel could attempt to perform his duties with the confidence of the public. He should resign immediately, and if, as he promises, he refuses to go quietly, then he should be shown the door by the people he professes to serve.

The numbers tell the story: 23 sheriff’s calls involving the Parkland shooter; 18 sheriff’s calls involving the shooter’s behavior directly (some of the others were principally about his brother); four sheriff’s deputies, armed and trained, cowering outside the high school while the killer within carried out his massacre; 17 dead.

In spite of having the school’s armed “resource officer” — an on-site deputy — and three other sheriff’s deputies outside the school during the massacre, no one lifted a finger to stop the shooting until police from Coral Springs arrived and entered the building, at which point the killer escaped, walking off the campus with the rest of the stunned students. He then walked down the street to a fast-food restaurant and ordered himself a drink, and wandered around the neighborhood for a while (past an elementary school) before being spotted by a Coral Springs police officer, to whom he surrendered without incident. He eventually made his way into the Broward County sheriff’s custody — when he was delivered there in handcuffs.

It is difficult to imagine a scenario where Israel keeps his job. Right?

Tucker Carlson is fed up with the Scott Israel and he let him know it on his show Monday night.

“Scott Israel is the man in charge of all of this and, of course, he is responsible for it. He loudly disagrees, indeed, Israel relentlessly brags about himself to all media who will record it,” The Daily Caller co-founder said.

“Two years ago for example, the local newspaper in Florida, reported that Israel used tax dollars to build a personal political machine, and he clearly had, the evidence was there, stone cold. Confronted with it, Israel said this, quote: ‘What have I done differently than Don Shula or Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King or Gandhi,’ end quote. And by the way, he said, lions don’t care about the opinions of sheep. Stable people don’t talk like this, obviously. Something is wrong with Sheriff Israel. As recently as yesterday, he was refusing to accept any responsibility in the face of his well-documented failures.”
