Sheriff Scott Israel is getting a lot of heat.

[Sunsky]

38. He is being scapegoated

and Democrats are falling for the republicans dirty tricks again. When he challenged DaNRa to her face, I told my husband to be prepared for the calls for him to resign.

Soon after, the attacks started on two fronts- 1) Democrats tying him to Stone by bringing up an old Sun Sentinel article. The same Sun Sentinel that endorsed Israel in 2016. Broward county is a democratic stronghold, he doesn't need outside help to win once he has a D behind his name. Lamberti needed Stone's help to win in 2008 and when Stone didn't help Lamberti, he lost.
2) The republicans calling for him to resign because somehow it's his fault that the officers didn't enter the building or didn't follow up on calls etc.
Yes there needs to be an investigation and there need to be changes but this is a he neither him nor Wray should resign over this.

I know that Israel switched parties from R to D but, his work has spoken for itself. I'm happy with Israel as our sheriff. He has been very involved in our community. He stands up for the homeless unlike the Ft. Lauderdale Pd. He's for body cam on officers. He supported issuing a fine for small-time pot possession instead of a criminal arrest. He was very outspoken about his issue with the Stand your ground law, after Trayvon Martin's murder and he supports common sense gun laws. I'm sure Stone opposes these positions. Scott Israel stands up for what he believes in, even if it may be politically problematic.
At first, I was skeptical about him but he won me over and I was very happy vote for his re-election in 2016.
tRick Scott should not get to choose who is the head of BSO.
