Sheriff Scott Israel

And in both cases, Sheriff Israel used the tragedy to call for confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel avoided a clear answer when CNN’s Jake Tapper asked him if four deputies who waited outside while the shooting was underway were ordered over the radio to stand down during the Parkland school shooting. Be sure to watch all three short videos. [Listen carefully, and you will recognize that the sheriff appears to be building an explanation that a stand-down order may have been sent out by a deputy officer who was not authorized to give such an order. If so, they might be preparing a scapegoat to take the heat off the Sheriff.
