Parkland cop who was fired for taking cover behind his truck and then driving away during school massacre in 2018 is reinstated - with back-pay
2020-09-17
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Arbitrator reinstates Broward County Sheriff's Deputy Josh Stambaugh

  • Stambaugh was fired by sheriff past legal deadline, arbitrator ruled

  • He was on duty in February 2018 when Nikolas Cruz went on shooting spree

  • Seventeen were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland

  • Stambaugh hid behind his truck and then drove off during the massacre

  • He and other deputies were faulted for failing to adequately respond to shooting
    ...sadly, they responded as trained and as ordered. It should be noted that, as one of his first acts as governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis suspended Sheriff Scott Israel and appointed a replacement, and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office lost its accreditation.
  • Sergeant Brian Miller was also reinstated by arbitrator after he was fired

  • Another deputy, Edward Eason, is due to have his case heard by arbitrator

  • Stambaugh, Eason, and Miller were fired by Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony

  • Tony was hired last year by Governor DeSantis, who fired Scott Israel

It'd be nice to think otherwise, but I suspect many will high-five him for "beating the system".
