I can't open the link. But I guess someone (not the elected shurf) was bound to get thrown under the bus.

I don't consider that getting thrown under the bus. She violated written department procedures in ordering staging and perimeter setup.

 

[BRD@66]

Sorry. I didn't mean to imply that she doesn't belong under the bus.

This will raise a question. Do people still blame the deputies for not going in, since their superior officer ordered them to stage and set a perimeter?

BSO is positioning this as “In the email, the BSO spokesperson also shed some light on the allegations against Jordan’s commands writing, “Captain Jordan asked if a perimeter had been established after the shooter left the building.””

I’m not sure what message BSO is sending here.

I do. Was the Capt. onscene? Doesn’t matter too much anyway, it was still a chit order. Of course not following orders I thought were chit was what led me to leave patrol and go to an investigatory agency.

Probably doing their best to obfuscate.

Dispatch logs obtained by Fox News appeared to show that at 2:32 p.m., roughly 11 minutes after Cruz opened fire, the first command to form a perimeter was issued, “17S1... NEED PERIMETER.”

1) Does not explain the actions of all officers there in the 11 minutes prior who did not go in.

2) Cruz stopped after 7-8 minutes, so this order was to contain him so he could not escape, he did anyway.
