Now that Broward County has been officially renamed by people as Coward Country, the deputies finally did something and had a no confidence vote over bumbling Sheriff Scott Israel. It only took six weeks and major embarassments to all the Broward County police force for those who ran and hid during the shooting at a Parkland high school. Sorry, too little too late. The fact that Scott Israel hasn’t loss his job yet, nearly two months later is a travesty.

A union of deputies in Florida on Thursday announced it has “no confidence” in Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association said a symbolic vote among its members, initiated last week, indicated 534 of 628 officers in the union voted they had no confidence in the sheriff.
The association, a chapter of the International Union of Police Associations, cited the national criticism surrounding Israel and his office following the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14.
