There is a developing story that states the reason the deputies stayed out of the school was because they were told they needed working body cams to do so. They didn’t have them so they stayed outside.
What were they afraid of? Lawsuits?

Would you want to be the person who had to tell a grieving parent that their child died because the cops weren’t wearing a body cam?
Anyone who raises their hand is a far braver (or foolish) person than I am.
Sheriff Isreal couldn’t have them going in and ruining the setup he’d perfected !
Plantsman nails it! “Sheriff Israel’s setup” Israel is a name that corresponds to this:
Ostrovsky, a former Mossad agent, says its motto is “By way of deception, thou shalt do war”. And the war is against Americans’ right to defense by the 2nd Amendment. Just who are the traitors within attacking our country by scripting psy-op mass shootings?
Add in more spurious bullshit, show the logs.
Just admit it you phucked up. Body cams? Give me a break.
What’s next they didn’t go in because?
The sun was in there eyes
No extra clips
They might get shot
They didn’t have a change of uniforms and there was a gay wedding right after work
They aren’t allowed to take their safeties off
Any other ideas
The Deputies weren’t provided body cams as part of their gear. The Deputies were ordered not to enter unless they had working body cams. So EFFECTIVELY the Deputies were ordered to “stand down.”
I thought there were surveillance cameras in the school. Set on a 30 minute delay, of course.
Why would a school have safety surveillance cameras set on a 30 minute delay, comrade?
What caliber bullet does the body cam fire, and how many rounds does it hold? 🙄
Seems reasonable.
But were they told this BEFORE or DURING the shooting?
That’s a lot of commiseration and decision for a 4-minute shooting spree.
Something stinks.
Oh, yeah, why (and when) did they ask?
izlamo delenda est …
I could care less what their orders were, at the end of the day they still refused to go in and save children. They were the supposedly “good” guys with a gun and they did nothing while children were being murdered.
The entire department needs to be gone. A man as sorry and corrupt as that sheriff is not going to have upstanding citizens serving as deputies.
One of them used the wrong gender pronoun in a report and each one of them had to turn in their bullet.
Possibility?: Cruz was not the shooter. Because of his troubled background, he was the perfect patsy. This was a deep state precision operation that turned out not so precise.
Anything could be possible, what with all the evil that’s been exposed over the last 10+ years. I also wonder if the oil rig accident in the golf of Mexico was really a bomb planted to give Obama an excuse to shut down US oil operations.
See? I’m getting to be a conspiracy theorist! I don’t really believe it, but wouldn’t be shocked if it were true.
God, please shine your blazing light of truth on the evil hiding in the darkness.
I guess they learned that from the last active shooter mass murder that occurred in 2017 at the Ft Lauderdale Airport. Sheriff Israel now has 2 active shooter incidents under his belt and his deputies failed miserably during both of them.
A good many conspiracy theories end up turning out true over time.
The lack of an honest government justifies the theories.
This guy was a known nut job, a time bomb with every red flag pointing at him with law-enforcement knowing about it but did nothing.
Stupid or evil or a conspiracy both?
Body cameras, yeah, that’s the ticket.
Claudia, multiple alarms/sirens were disabled so that it wouldn’t wake those sleeping (operations on a 24/7 schedule means someone is always sleeping).
Several safety functions were disabled to allow for operations outside the normal, more specifically the most costly issue was the Blow Out Preventer, or “dead man’s switch” (named because it is the last line of automatic defense and assumes that there is no one left around to keep the rig safe).
As back pressure built up & indicated rapidly rising risk of explosion the dead man’s switch would slam shut (other types smash/crimp the pipe).
The Deepwater Horizon didn’t have a functioning dead man’s switch.
Too many things pointed to an intentional set up for an accident waiting to happen.
I wonder where the cop was that would say “fuck the cams” and gone in anyway because he knew it was his job to protect the innocents. I’d wager if this happened 20 years ago all three of the cops would have disobeyed this directive and gone in. Being a policeman or fireman used to be a calling now it’s just a job with good pay (mostly) and lots of benefits and if you’re careful you get to retire early with a second to none pension. To be fair that’s not the case on a lot of towns or counties but I suspect it might have been the case here.
Co-incidently, 4 crushed police body cams that were found nearby have been quickly determined to be completely unrelated to this event…
they were under orders to not interfere until the real shooters gave the all clear and the patsy was named and in place.
scr_north, My oldest is an officer in a suburb of Dallas. He says the only way not to get written up is to do nothing – ever. The cops with the best records are the guys that don’t chase bad guys and don’t make many arrests. No mistakes made if you take no action in the first place.
So I’m not surprised this Sheriff’s command skills/style led to them being frozen from action. That the world isn’t coming down on this Sheriff, is a crime itself.
