It turns out that the po-po who recommended that Cruz be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility was none other than (drum roll please)
the much-vilified [strike]Barney Fife[/strike] Scot Peterson
A psychological assessment service initiated by Cruz's mother, Henderson Behavioral Health (HBH), show high school resource officer and Sheriff's deputy Scot Peterson along with two high school counselers recommending that Cruz be committed for mental evaluation under Florida's Baker Act - which allows for the involuntary commitment of a person for at least three days.
Obviously, someone higher-up than Barney countermanded that recommendation, probably for political reasons, as highlighted earlier by Rich and Jered: https://www.americanthinker.com/article ... lives.html

I'm waiting for some MSM reporter (if any real reporters still exist) to find out which senior official in the Broward County Sheriff's office or Broward County School District was responsible and write an editorial apologizing to gun owners and the NRA (sound of crickets chirping).
I've seen the Jack Cashill article.

That decriminalization stuff is what happened in the Trayvon Martin case and probably what directly led to his death.

That's progressivism for you, though. They completely screwed the pooch on this feral miscreat, but rather than look at their policies and wonder where or how they went wrong, they're blaming everyone but themselves.

I posted this to another forum, and a doctor there who used to work in Florida said that under the Baker Act in FL, the deputy's signature on the form would have been sufficient on it's own to commit the kid for eval for at least 72 hours. Further, the only person who could have countermanded that, is the physician at the "psychiatric receiving facility" where he would have taken the kid. Would have, that is, if Deputy Peterson weren't a lying sack of shit who is trying to deflect blame from himself. In other words, the article above is bullshit.

How it's supposed to be done.

Which is why it won't be newsworthy.

I found what appears to be the Florida Baker Act forms.

It's a CF-MH 3052A.

So, the doctor on that other forum is most likely correct.

However, that isn't to say that the sheriff's office could have enacted a policy that's more restrictive than state law with regards to committing someone pursuant to the Baker Act and required a sign off by the sheriff or one of the senior managers at the department. Had he felt strongly about the sack of shit, Peterson probably could have committed him anyway, in violation of the policy.

...in which case, he's an amoral sack of shit trying to deflect blame from himself.

...and...it looks like Gloria Allred is involved with the family that took this feral little shit in.
Rocxanne Deschamps spoke at a news conference in New York City with her lawyer, Gloria Allred, marking the first time she publicly discussed what was happening at her home near Lantana when Nikolas and his brother Zachary lived with her and her family.

So FBI was called twice (did nothing), local cops showed up to the lil angel's house 69 times, and now the school district didn't spend 100 million dollars allocated for security. https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2018/04 ... ard-meets/

So, quick napkin math:
$104.3m available
327 schools in the district
~$319k PER SCHOOL specifically earmarked for safety measure improvements.

Ah'm not a smart man, but I'm pretty sure that would have covered most if not all of the entry control measures required to improve school security there.

But it's the NRA's fault.

Gets even better. Turns out they've been giving a private company gas under some kind of "contract". Israel is saying since NAPA delivers parts to get emergency vehicles up, they contracted to get fuel to replace what was used. Almost 6,000 gallons though?https://www.local10.com/news/local-10-i ... f-free-gas THEN this pops up. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/browa ... ar-AAwodSm
