I wonder if you (and anyone else who is arguing the same thing) would believe this if one of your children had been among the last that were gunned down.

they're responsible just as much as the little criminal that pulled the trigger.

Probably not, but what does that change? It's pretty clear this is an emotional decision, and likely a popular one in Broward County.

Bingo.
And to bencoleman's (stupid) point, if they wanted to go after someone in the administration to point the finger of blame at, they chose the least culpable one.

I’m glad that lying pussy POS is going to prison.

But even outgunned a 20 year police veteran should be able to slow down an untrained 17 year old kid.
I agree with all of this...but he is a coward obviously and ran from conflict. still don't see what prison time would accomplish

So it's stupid to hold people accountable for policies that encourage and incubate lawlessness and mental illness. Not to mention hide the behavior from anyone that could intervene and do something about it to prevent it from happening to begin with. You're crazy as hell.

Eric Holder was easily as culpable as Scot Peterson.
But I bet only a fraction of you know why, as the program he and Obama are responsible for, is why the perp wasn't in jail instead of out free to murder. And some say there is no media bias. A crucial story, all but buried by the MSM.

Forfeiture of retirement/pensions, which he should have to forfeit if he isn't going to do his job.

And how many damn Scot Petersons are out there? Wasn't there another dude with the same name who was also a police, who killed his wife?
Drew Peterson was a Chicago cop who killed a couple of wives if I remember correctly and of course the Scott Peterson killed his wife Laci and unborn son by dumping them off a skiff in SF bay.

If they are going to make this guy the scapegoat, they picked the guy last in line.
They knew the kid was a threat, but did nothing for years, so that way their discipline numbers would go down (see the Obama administration legislation that started this PC crap).
I wonder about this because just become someone seems dangerous or could be dangerous some day doesn’t leave anyone with many options to actually do anything about it. I can think of a few people I consider mentally and emotionally unstable but there’s not much that can be done until they break a law. Does it even prevent them from buying/owning a gun? I know several gun owners who I would prefer didn’t own or have access to weapons.

This.
I can understand the perjury charge but the others are a waste of money pursuing.

For you and the several others that can't seem to grasp why Peterson is being charged with criminal negligence, do yourselves a big favor and Google "Public Duty Doctrine". In a few states, individual citizens can be charged for failing to render aid or intervene in someway if they are witness to someone in danger.

I dont see how Public Duty Doctrine is why he should be charged criminally.
Civilly yes but not criminally

And there is no requirement to render aid if rendering aid puts someone at risk.

frick. You.
He has the legal authority to carry a gun in a gun free zone. It is his responsibility to protect those whom your precious gun free zone laws leave defenseless.
He’s not responsible for all the deaths, just every one that was shot AFTER he arrived on site and cowered in fear
