Sheriff Israel’s Department ignored repeated warnings about the serious mental issues those who knew the shooter reported. He also failed to ensure that his Deputies were adequately informed and trained on protocols for responding to an active shooting scenario in a school.
Sheriff Scott Israel is a preeminent politician who oversees one of the largest Sheriffs departments in America. He has made the selection of employees who can assist with his political career an art form that has now come collapsing on him, in the form of Deputy Nezar Hamze, a devout Muslim and national leader of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Deputy Nezar Hamze, who not only lacked even the most basic qualifications for the job according to Broward County SD’s own senior reviewing officers, but was and remains an actively-serving Florida state-level official for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), HAMAS’ Muslim Brotherhood front group in the U.S.–for whom he conducted active shooter weapons training inside identifiable Muslim Brotherhood Islamic Centers–but obviously failed adequately to train his own Broward County deputies on how to defend Florida students from an active shooter inside a school.
