Broward County Sheriff Israel is an elected politician as well as a lawman. I don't think he's handling the situation well, though I'm not sure what the appropriate response to such incompetence would look like.
Some of the students and teachers seem sympathetic to the deputies not rushing in to confront a madman with an AR15 when they only had handguns.
However, some of the parents are pissed, and I don't blame them. Experts who I've seen interviewed have all confirmed that active shooter training dictates that officers should always confront the shooter in order to distract him/her and hopefully stop the shooter and minimize fatalities.
Broward County deputies failed terribly in their duties, based on what's known to the public. Some are calling for Sheriff Israel's resignation.
I'm not trying to pile on LE. The massive LE failure is just a fact that needs to be acknowledged and seriously addressed so it doesn't happen again, anywhere.
