what does this tell you?....we are going to learn why...you aren't going to like it.... and it will have nothing to do with the effectiveness of a background check......
Miami Herald reported on Friday that, in November 2017, a tipster called the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) to say Cruz "'could be a school shooter in the making,'
but deputies did not write up a report on that warning."
The Herald added that this tip came just weeks after a relative called urging BSO to seize his weapons. Two years prior, "A deputy investigated a report that Cruz 'planned to shoot up the school' –
intelligence that was forwarded to the school's RESOURCE OFFICER, with no apparent result."
CNN's Jake Tapper cited the 23 incidents before the shooting that involved Cruz and questioned whether the
PROMISE program might have been responsible for the inaction by the sheriff's office.
"It's helping many, many people," Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said in defense of the program. "What this program does is not put a person at 14, 15, 16 years old into the criminal justice system."
In 2014, Scot Peterson was named School
Resource Officer of the Year by the Broward County Crime Commission for handling issues "with tact and judgment."
some sad irony there....
