#1 Every "involved" government employee of each agency that failed, no matter what agency, should be fired and NO PENSION AND MADE INELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT.

Was there a single agency at any level that did their job?

It's for the children

#2 According to Sundance, the failures of Broward County Sheriff Department were not caused by incompetence but by a concerted plan to reduce racial imbalance and reported incidence of crime by high school students in the county by not reporting many crimes including felonies and not arresting students for committing them.
That is why Mr. Cruz had no criminal record, and why a large number of reports about his behavior were ignored by the Sheriff's office.
This disgraceful behavior by the Sheriff's department earned the Broward School system praise and financial rewards from the Obama administration and the state of Florida for its supposed prowess in reducing crime by its high school students, and equalizing crime rates among racial groups.
My question is: was the FBI aware of this, and did its failure to react to reports stem from its cooperation with this scandalous behavior by the Broward Sheriff's department?

Does anyone need any more Blues Clues from the dog about where this comes from?

Waste of more than a hyphen. Waste of a sexual liaison, waste of a vote, waste of air...need I go on?

#9 News outlets including CNN and NBC have since reported that at least three more armed Broward County sheriff’s deputies were present on the scene, taking cover behind their vehicles instead of immediately going into the school.

I can believe that one guy failed but four is beginning to smell a little fishy.

#10 Possibly there are many [now] shredded memos directing first responders to secure the scene and wait for the special teams.

#11 Well they didn't want to have to arrest anyone - it'll mess up their crime stats!

A sheriff *has* to have his priorities!

#12 "Coward County Sheriff"

I'll bet someone out there has already reworked the last verse of "Coward of the County."
