FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Florida judge ruled Thursday that two deputies who were fired for inaction during a high school mass shooting in 2018 should be reinstated with back pay.

Broward Circuit Judge Keathan Frink concluded that arbitrators last year were correct in ruling that the fired Broward County deputies, Brian Miller and Joshua Stambaugh, should get their jobs back, with back pay plus other benefits, the Sun Sentinel reported. That includes accrued sick and vacation time, overtime and off-duty detail pay, among other benefits that they would have been paid had they not been fired.

One arbitrator had ruled in September that Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony acted 13 days too late when he fired deputy Stambaugh in 2019 for his conduct during the February 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The shooting left 17 dead.

State law says discipline against law enforcement officers must occur within 180 days of an investigation’s completion. Another arbitrator reinstated Miller last May, saying Tony had missed that deadline by two days.

This is why Broward is a cesspool of Democratic politics which will not get better any time soon.  Sorry but I can’t but suspect that the “misses” were done on purpose to curry favor with the rank and file. Israel’s job? Maybe somebody paying back a favor, who knows?

I feel the need to continue wearing my mask outside even though I’m fully vaccinated because the inconvenience of having to wear a mask is more than worth it to have people not think I’m a conservative ?

I feel like this is something you can especially understand if you’re in a very liberal area where 99% of the people you see are wearing masks.

One: it’s not about the science, it was never about the science, it is and was always about dividing people along partisan lines.

Two: conservatives are some sort of untermenschen, below contempt, and it would be a grave insult to be confused for one, like calling a Brahmin a Dalit.

Three: liberals are intolerant l tribal brutes who will become hostile to anyone that see as an outsider to their group.

Yes, we all knew it was true but it interesting to see him say it out loud.

In Gaza, the death toll is up to 119, including 31 children. All just in the matter of a few days. This is the "proportional" response we keep hearing about.

Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism.

Palestinians deserve protection.

Unlike Israel, missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, don’t exist to protect Palestinian civilians.

It’s unconscionable to not condemn these attacks on the week of Eid. https://t.co/vWWQfMqBkT

What Muslims and the Left are complaining about now is that there are higher casualties among the Palestinians than the Israelis.

The Palestinians have fired thousands of rockets but most have been shot down by Iron Dome.

It’s not equitable that Israel has an effective anti-missile defense system, so Israel must not strike back at the Palestinians, no matter how many rockets they launch.

Their definition of “proportional response” really means “more Jews need to die for equity.”

I agree with Ian Miles Cheong.

Winning a war against an aggressor that fires hundreds of rockets at your civilians should not come with any consideration to proportionality. You use overwhelming force and put an end to their aggression.

If you launch rockets aimed at my children I would nuke the fuck out if you.

I would fracture your DNA with ionizing radiation to wipe your bloodline from this planet.

Proportional response is bullshit.

An enemy could be confident in attacking you with a idea of how much they are willing to sacrifice to your proportional response to achieve their goals.

No, you kick the fucking shit out of your enemy so hard the very thought of fighting you ever again makes piss run down their legs.

The right response to thousands of Hamas rockets is Gaza should be glassed so intensely that the 1950 Armistice Line becomes beach front property.

She sees someone in public she doesn’t know without a particular piece of cloth on their body and instantly jumps to conclusions about how awful and subhuman they are and that they are a threat to her.

I wonder if this is how Germans felt when they saw someone in public they didn’t know without a particular piece of cloth on their body.

My buddy sent me this picture.  It was the price of a 2×4 from last year to now.

I found myself reminded of this picture from a couple of years ago.

Reality is much worse than what we are being told.
