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.

Deputies fired over Florida school massacre to get jobs back, judge rules

In other news, Former and Disgraced Sheriff Scott Israel landed a cushy $65,000 a year job monitoring red light cameras in Davie, Fl.

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?

It would be considered stupid.

But I have to give it the benefit of the doubt with hurricane season coming and a generator may be home.

Jones isn’t a martyr; she’s a myth-peddler. She isn’t a scientist; she’s a fabulist. She’s not a whistleblower; she’s a good old-fashioned confidence trickster. And, like any confidence trickster, she understands her marks better than they understand themselves.

Rebekah Jones, the COVID Whistleblower Who Wasn’t

You need to read this. Mr. Cooke writes a very comprehensive article of who is Ms. Jones with documentation to boot. We have covered her doings a bit here including the possibility she is “disturbed” enough to boil the bunny.

She was the huckster the left needed to wedge uncertainty in Florida’s progress against the Pandemic even if it meant hurting people because she was messing around with the statistics.  Florida was a renegade and she took it upon herself to try and bring it back in the CDC corral and lock it down. When that did not happen, she tried to make herself a martyr for the cause and idiots in the Media (but I repeat myself) bought the smelly package because they needed “proof” Florida was not doing it right no matter what the stats said.
