Disgusting: Broward County Sheriff Starts Cracking Jokes While Discussing Dead Kids
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel is not the most popular person in America at the moment.
That’s not just because numerous reports have raised serious questions about how his department acted before and during the Parkland school shooting, or because the implications of those reports are that the teenager who allegedly killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School could have been stopped.
It’s mostly because, as these questions have been raised, Sheriff Israel has adopted an imperious attitude toward anyone who deigns to query him about how his department handled both the incident and the suspect himself.
If you needed an object lesson in what’s made Sheriff Israel so controversial, you could do worse than his Sunday appearance on CNN, where the sheriff cracked jokes as anchor Jake Tapper grilled him regarding his office’s actions.
Israel had been asked “if the Broward sheriff’s office had done things differently, this shooting might not have happened.”
“Listen, if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, O.J. Simpson would still be in the record books,” Israel said.
Tapper was decidedly unimpressed with Israel’s attempt at folksy humor.
“I don’t know what that means,” Tapper responded. “There’s 17 dead people and a whole long list of things your department could have done differently.”
