    Former Broward County sheriff's Deputy Scot Peterson — whom Pres. Trump called a "coward" for not engaging the gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — has hired a lawyer to respond to "unfounded criticism of his actions" during the mass shooting. http://abcn.ws/2HNb3b2 pic.twitter.com/gLUqJWUA1i

        I really don't see how he can defend his actions, or rather lack thereof. The safety of those students was his responsibility. He was armed & could have stopped the shooter if he'd tried. He chose not to . . . and children died. Case closed.

        He says it is unfounded criticism, because he was "responding to firecrackers" while 17 children that he was sworn to guard were being slaughtered. No words. Well, I do have words, but Twitter would block me forever if I used them.

        Lay off the guy. He did the same thing the police did in my neighborhood when we had an active shooter : they took cover and waited for SWAT. and there were lots of police. The guy probably followed protocol.

        for some reason, a guy named Scot Peterson may not be the most trustworthy person

        He better get a lawyer. Every victim and the school district is likely going to sue him. It’s going to be a sue-for-all.

        He thinks he deserves a medal because he made sure the shooter had good protection and cover. He assisted the killer by hiding out. So i think if i was him I'd be hiring a lawyer to help him from getting beat down in the civil court system when the Judge says guilty of negligence

        Does anybody read the article? Those who criticize have already be in a god damn gunfight? There was casuality outside that lead him to believe the shooter was outside. And yes he hide to assess the situation....thats what every sane police or military do before action.

        He resigned because, let me see....the president and his boss throw him in front of the bus...and he can retire due to his age....and....I dont know maybe because the whole country want to throw him in front of a bus as well ..then ask the driver to back, forward then back again.
