Should Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel Resign?

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel wasted no time in canning and condemning the deputy who was actually at the school in Parkland, Florida working as security when Nikolas Cruz went on his rampage killing 17 people. Israel was rightfully outraged that the deputy failed to go into the building while the shots were ringing out.

Then it was disclosed that other deputies who responded took up positions outside while people were dying. Now there are calls for Israel to resign.

But even before the shooting occurred, Israel was under fire for hiring a CAIR official, Nezar Hamze, as a deputy sheriff over the objections of three ranking members of his organization. Joe Kaufman, writing in Frontpage Magazine, has the story.

So it appears that Israel joins other stooge police officials who have jumped into bed with CAIR and other questionable Islamic groups. For years we have pointed out the questionable judgment of former LASD Sheriff Lee Baca, former chief of LAPD Counter Terror Unit Michael Downing and even Janet Napolitano when she was head of DHS. Baca and Downing were active apologists for groups like CAIR, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and others while attending events that reassured the public that Islam was peaceful and sharia law was perfectly compatible with our laws, neither of which is true. Napolitano, for her part, hired Mohamed Elibiary as a DHS official, a position he used to access sensitive computer data which he used to discredit political opponents.

So the answer to the question whether Sheriff Israel should resign is a resounding YES.
