Tapper grills Sheriff Israel over school shooting response

[@mikerobertson4041]

I've been in law enforcement my entire adult life, and I have to say that the actions of the Broward Co. deputies sickens me to no end. And beyond that Scott Israel, if he has any conscience at all, will resign. These failures begin at the top!

[@souljahsquad4447]

One thing I have a problem with is that program he asked about that allows kids a chance to not be in the system for minor crimes and made that out to be a contributing factor to that tragic event is shameful that kind of program should be everywhere it could help kids get on the right path n this shooter never qualified for that program anyways

[@Paul__108__]

This sheriff’s neither credible nor competent. His reaction is: “we’re looking into it.” At the town hall he said no one is responsible but the killer. That was both false and misleading.

He should be held responsible for his poor lack of leadership and management. Why was he not aware of so many things? He said he did not see the videos and so on but as a leader, do you not get a freaking report or any information at all from your employees? It is sickening.

Jake Tapper is officially my favorite news person. Ask those tough question and hold people accountable

[@Paperstreetcapital]

I don't really care if he resigns or not. I'm glad most can see what not taking any responsibility looks like. This guy is a coward. Jake did a great job in the interview.

[@RRW276]

This sheriff is a real piece of work.

[@saintjames8018]

My guess, this guy will lose his job.... soon

[@TheShredfest89]

GREAT JOB TAPPER. I NEVER THOUGHT ID SAY THAT

[@tonguecutsparrow]

Phil McCain Why are you yelling I’m standing right here

[@jakek9925]

I am by no means a CNN fan but in my opinion Tapper has always been great

[@frowlinian8175]

Jake K same here, all the networks have atleast 1 person who actually does a good job, tapper is CNN’s (and maybe Anderson cooper but I don’t really watch him)

[@robertcolfack26]

This is why we need to ban gun free zones too many innocent people are getting killed in gun free zones and guess who created gun free zones it's crazy pervert Shotgun Joe Biden.....You can't blame the 2nd. amendment or the NRA and the government can't protect you you must protect yourself.......You can't trust the government or the media to tell you the truth this sheriff is covering his ass.....

[@angelo2330]

Stop making excuses for cowards. Every single person who puts on a uniform and pledges to protect their community - is indicating by their choice that they are willing (not wanting, willing) to lay down their lives. That is their job.

[@vercoda9997]

Angelo 23 Cops are people and individuals too. When was the last time YOU were tasked with running into a building where a heavily armed person was busy murdering people? I know, I know - you’d rush in. Yeah, yeah.

[@grannyloca5886]

Angelo 23 Thank God the San Bernardino sheriffs didn't act like the cowards of broward when terrorist attacked a Christmas party. I don't remember any cowardice by NYPD on 911.

[@jasonpatton6408]

Ver Coda Did you see the coach without a gun shield children's without a gun, knowing he was going to die. Did you see the students shield using only Kevlar to protect others. So please spare me the poor pitiful me bullshit. 4 people were cowards & should be arrested immediately & charged with 17 counts of NEGLIGENT homocide.

[@shelleygold4923]

Thank you Jake.....its about time somebody DO SOMETHING REAL ON CNN.

[@Thelastboomerworking]

This Sheriff is a liar !

[@Maverick0001]

Why does everyone resort to calling others liars, when they don't even know the truth themselves? Lol

[@sommerashley8115]

He is trying to redirect so badly! I've heard 5 lies already in this interview!

[@joshbaker2157]

Sheriff almost sounds like a WWE wrestler trying to hype his own words.

[@E-ROCK0180]

Sheriff your fired immediately

[@E-ROCK0180]

Bob Martin - Have you been eating tide pods again ? Is there a new flavor out ' huh ...... go watch " Never Enuff Ammo " video he released today .

[@thomaswade9689]

This sheriff has a lot to hide .

[@chainsofdoom3465]

Show me evidence to support your claim.

[@thomaswade9689]

I can not show the evidence at this time , as per the case is under investigation

[@thomaswade9689]

The sheriff has many inconsistencies in his perceptions of what happened durning the time the active crime took place and after the crime was dormant ,he has made a colossal number of statements in public thru the media and one on one with colleagues that will lead to him being not only fired,but also sued personally and he will be very lucky if he is not indicted because the deputy will be indicted,it looks like from the evidence being discovered in the probe .

[@tysonmillerrealestate]

I hate CNN but I definitely respect tapper the most at least for grilling this coward for the truth!!!

[@al3xp1p]

Tyson Miller yep, he fucked him up

[@DiogenesNephew]

Good on you, CNN. This is one of the only good interviews I've seen come from you.

[@colonelangus8247]

The Sheriff is a liar and coward and should be charged as a accessory after the fact.

[@SirBiGGs21]

Hey Sheriff... I call BS!

[@Blackbart5118]

This jerk needs to be fired immediately! He's responsible for the behavior of his employees! The buck stops with him!

[@mikewhipkey6863]

As a recovering drugged out loser this sheriff sounds a lot like me when I was using incoherently rambling trying to explain why stuff was missing or why something was messed up

[@benjiarehart2878]

Haha, Right!

[@TheArbenGjoni]

Only interview cnn done that is respectable. Good job guys keep it up. Please lol

[@adx3980]

arben gjoni Not CNN, just Tapper

[@Cujobob]

Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper do good work, as do many others. You don’t like the news, that doesn’t make them less respectable. Fox News is pushing this partisan news stuff that more central news has to become more and more partisan. Being completely moderate doesn’t work well in this climate, sadly.

[@mattshelfreliance]

i think Jake Tapper did a good job here. left, or right, pro gun, or anti gun WE THE PEOPLE need true journalism and tough questions on all sides!👍

[@azmtb93]

Cujobob Anderson cooper is cia and ruling elite bloodline. Aka liar

[@mattshelfreliance]

thats not fair... Cooper did come from a very prominent fam in American history but unless you grew up with him or knew his world directly then you couldn't possibly understand what he went through. its all really quite tragic.. and yet he pulled himself up and made a name for himself BY HIMSELF! So without making it personal we should really focus on the actual facts of what TRULY matters. The human heart. Until America can get right with that nothing will truly change😕.

[@herovillevlogs9044]

He was involved

[@qwmf05gcpt42]

I'm impressed CNN.

[@dc9291]

for the first time i am to. they actually dug into a story instead of supporting some 1/2 assed press release. i didn't think they were capable.

[@christopheryniguez825]

Exactly

[@johnaustin5677]

I know right. I feel weird even thinking it. This is like the old CNN. Like Larry King and Ted Turner CNN.

[@Prince-vx8tl]

You represent just a small infinitesimal fraction of the kinds of people the rest of us had no choice but to take the matches away from by electing the current president back in 2016.

[@qwmf05gcpt42]

who are u talking too?

[@topbreak38]

21:15 I've been pissed with CNN lately, but the gloves just came off! I don't know who this Tapper guy is, but I like him!

[@chris66va]

This was a complete failure of law enforcement. The FBI then the Sheriffs department. You want do count on these clowns to protect you? Then the investigation wops I mean cover-up.

[@LLindall1]

Take care of them in a disciplinary manner? These law enforcement officers need to be brought up on charges. Those 17 individuals are DEAD.

[@MASTERu75]

What I don't understand is how after the guy kills 17 people they manage to bring him in alive without a scratch. But we have cases with unarmed men who killed no one and their dead. We need to assess everything we're doing, it's all going to shit, none of this is making any sense. WTF is going on, I think more individuals need to be fired, you can't blame this all on the cowardly officer who didn't go in.

[@CJLAKE123]

Because he's a white kid, it's a conspiracy, or because the disgusting high schooler tossed aside his firearm. Then blended in with the student population, and walked home. While during his walk home, he was unarmed, and probably compiled with the police.

[@danielkokoska545]

Jake Tapper for Broward county sheriff!!

[@NoBody-tz4fb]

That whole department should be investigated. Those cops are cowards, and have to balls to talk about gun control after this? All this did was reinforce my opinion that i need to be able to protect myself.

[@ThriftyMcFlipster]

Amen.

[@saintjames8018]

I didn't need to hear this clown to know the cops will not protect me. These guys are overpaid mall cops waiting on a their unfunded pensions. And the top brass are sucking up to city leaders that tend to be liberal.

[@godswrath1244]

Here is the deal. These small-town police departments and deputies who arrived at the scene of this killing floor were afraid to go in and engage the shooter. Even though they are trained, they don't have serious police runs, they don't do any serious police work, and they don't know what to do in a situation like that. But if you take police officers who face these kinds of situations daily like from Detroit, New York, Philidelphia, California would have gone in and engaged the killer. But police officers who only deal with police runs where a dog was pissing on someone's flower garden, they are not going to confront a real killer. Training modules where there are no real shooters but only mock situations, it is a big difference from a real active shooter who is on a killing spree! This Four Star paper pusher should be fired. The first thing that he should have done was looked at the freaking footage and film! YOU ARE FIRED! Look you are the Sheriff of your department, you should have looked into this yourself since there were so many complaints about this killer! You should look at every violent report that comes into the Sheriff's office, and you should know what is happening, situations like this after all that many "red flags" should have been followed-up! Stop licking your lips and making freaking excuses! You need to be locked up yourself for this debacle with your department!

[@smalltowngirlbigcityheart3724]

A Warrior of Christ Amen!

[@JasonP2]

A Warrior of Christ - Broward county has a population of nearly 2 million people, I would hardly call that a "small-town police department." Furthermore, Florida has consistently been top 10 in terms of crime compared to other states over the past few years - i.e. only a hand full of states have more crime. While states like Illinois and California may have more shootings, Florida has had a higher death toll as a result of shootings in recent years. To sum this all up, I feel it is inaccurate to say that these officers lacked the training or experience necessary to handle the situation. I agree with you on most of your other points though, especially about watching the footage and listening to the audio. How has the SHERIFF of the county not seen the footage or listened to the audio of what happened that day NEARLY A WEEK AFTER THE EVENT. I mean, what could possible be more important than this active investigation which the entire country is watching and scrutinizing? Just shameful. Also, Israel seems to care an awful lot about "crossing t's and dotting i's" now, but where was this level of due diligence when Cruz was making threats and arming himself to the teeth with firearms? 16 or 18 calls - either way, too many - to Broward County Sheriff's department and nothing was done. Cruz should have been committed after the 2nd call.

[@sclass21]

is this a cnn interview? I'm shocked....good interview.

[@cherylsmith1828]

Just checked outside to see if the moon had turned to blood.

I just checked outside and by jolly I see pigs flying@@@!!!

[@whatever-id6cw]

WOW all i can say is CNN fake news did something real for ones.

[@chrisbuchanan1145]

I was thinking the same thing. He actually made comments on how badly ran the Town Hall meeting was.

[@zealot777]

This guy danced around the interviewers questions like MC Hammer doing the Running Man!

[@intermodaldan]

Hey sheriff release the video and radio transmissions - he is covering up their incompetence

[@SW-ju1wx]

that's the KEY folks. Align the radio transmissions, video feeds (public, private, and agency domained....dash cams, body cams) and "reconstruct the whole scene". That will never happen. "They" will always dismiss or subtract those pieces of material evidence that does not fit the official narrative....how many times have we seen this script? AND ONLY PIECES OF IT AND NOT THE WHOLE DAMN STORY LINE?

[@SW-ju1wx]

it's called an event reconstruction and it can be very damning for those who have made mistakes or worse..........

[@jakecapezzuto1050]

Bravo, Jake Tapper.

[@cherylsmith1828]

Better late than never.

[@wordforlife1585]

I can't believe it Jake! You actually did a pretty good job here. You should quit cnn and go over the Fox.

You act like FOX is better than CNN. Its not.

Excuse after excuse! Finally CNN is producing real news! IM NOT A RUSSIAN

Good job Jake. This guy is crooked.

[@nathanwellings3669]

That was difficult to sit through.

[@vinhadenpar]

Seriously!

[@collinlewis1739]

He decided to play politics and go on that town hall before even knowing everything about the situation. This is sickening on behalf of the Sheriff

[@jasonpatton6408]

Collin Lewis He knew and did it anyway. He openly lied. He damn well know & we all know it. JAKE got him to admit it. He is an evil vile man who is a coward. If he is not arrested I sure hope he burns in hell.

[@erika348]

This arrogant Sheriff needs to lose his job. His entire department failed to keep our children safe. They failed in the repeated reports of problems with this kid and failed to protect the kids during the shooting. Letting him investigate his own is unbelievably irresponsible.

[@johnmarshall4852]

As a conservative, I absolutely love Jake Tapper. Doesn’t matter who you are or what side of the aisle you are on. He holds everyone’s feet to the fire. Bravo, sir.

[@justmyster1976]

You sure? Holds everyone's feet to the fire?

[@ep4637]

The whole Broward County Sheriff's department needs to be fired immediately
