Judge rejects embattled school deputy's claim he had no duty to confront Parkland gunman

A judge has rejected a deputy's claim that he had no duty to confront the gunman during the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Refusing to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the parent of a victim, Broward Circuit Judge Patti Englander Henning found after a hearing Wednesday that ex-deputy Scot Peterson did have a duty to protect those inside the school where 17 people died and 17 were wounded on Feb. 14.

Video and other evidence shows Peterson, the only armed officer at the school, remained outside while shots rang out.

The negligence lawsuit was filed by Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was killed in the attack. He said it made no sense for Peterson's attorneys to argue that a sworn law enforcement officer with a badge and a gun had no requirement to go inside.

The fact is this creep was and is a coward.  If he wasn't he would have eaten his gun by now.

Equally guilty is that bleep Police Chief who hired

We are not allowed to carry firearms at my school. That doesn't mean I am unarmed or that I don't have access to improvised weapons.
When you take a job at a school I don't care if you are an administrator, teacher, cafeteria worker, or janitor, you have a DUTY to protect.
