Deputy fired over Parkland school shooting to be reinstated with back pay: reports
By Brie Stimson | Fox News

    A Florida sheriff’s sergeant who lost his job after it was discovered he hid behind his car when a shooter at a high school in Parkland first opened fire will reportedly get his job back with back pay.

Sgt. Brian Miller, of the Broward Sheriff’s Office, was the first supervisor to respond to the 2018 shooting that took the lives of 17 students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

An arbitration ruling this week found the sheriff’s office “violated” Miller’s “constitutional due process rights and improperly terminated him,” the BSO Deputies Association, a union that represents deputies and sergeants said, according to the Miami Herald.

Miller will also receive full back pay and get back his seniority. He made more than $137,000 in 2018.

An investigation by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission found that although Miller arrived as the first shots were fired, he failed to go into the school and didn’t radio anyone for 10 minutes, The Herald reported.

A sheriff’s sergeant fired for hiding behind his car during the Parkland school massacre has got his job back — along with at least $125,000 back-pay, according to reports.

Sgt. Brian Miller was one of four deputies terminated for “neglect of duty” from the 2018 slaughter at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 students and faculty members dead and another 17 injured.

Miller had been the first supervisor on scene — but put on his bulletproof vest and hid behind his car, not even going on his radio for 10 minutes, rather than taking command, a state commission investigation found. ...

Broward County Sheriff’s Office fired him last June — but an arbitrator has ruled that his due process rights were violated, the South Florida Sun Sentinel revealed late Wednesday. ...

Deputy postion in Mayberry came open?

This clown may as well have put his one bullet in his shirt pocket, like Barney Fife. He clearly had no interest in being a law enforcement officer when he arrived at the school.
