Broward County was a train wreck when Scott Israel ran the Sheriff’s department, and it’s not gotten much better. His replacement may have lied about killing someone as a minor. And Sgt. Brian Miller, who hid behind his car while shots rang out, just got his job back, with back pay.

Sgt. Brian Miller was one of the four deputies who were terminated because of a “neglect of duty” in the Feb. 14, 2018, Parkland shooting, which killed 17 students and faculty members and injured another 17.
Miller, 57, was paid $138,410.25 in 2017, according to the Sun-Sentinel. The BSO veteran had challenged the decision with union backing. An arbitration ruling found “BSO violated Sgt. Brian Miller’s constitutional due process rights and improperly terminated him,” the union said.

The people of Broward County can sleep safe knowing that Sgt. Miller, armed with all that seniority and back pay, is prepared to hide behind his car for anyone in their time of need.
I wonder if the people of Broward County might just make that into a thing? Every time they see him they hide behind a car.
Every time.
If he stops to investigate wait for him to come over and then say, I thought heard gunshots.
