Florida Court Rules Governor Had Right To Suspend Sheriff Who Bungled Parkland Shooting

One of the first things Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) did as governor was to suspend Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel for the way he handled two mass shootings, including last year’s school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

DeSantis signed an executive order suspending the sheriff, noting that Israel failed the people of Broward County.
