Who better to be issuing tactical orders than the woman formerly in charge serving papers on people? One victim, his family, and their attorney believe mistakes were made and are litigating for damages. And, we learn, as part of the series of totally rational responses we have seen here, they are going to tear down the building where it happened (again). Wise use of taxpayer dollars for sure.

That’s not the trainingThe Broward Sheriff’s Office captain who initially took charge of the chaotic scene at a Parkland high school where 17 people were killed told deputies to form a perimeter around the deadly scene — which they did instead of going in to confront the shooter, according to a partial BSO dispatch log obtained by the Miami Herald.
Capt. Jan Jordan, commander of BSO’s Parkland district, gave the order, the log shows, identifying her by her police call sign.
Broward Sheriff Scott Israel has said BSO training and nationwide active-shooter procedure call for armed law enforcement officers to confront shooters immediately rather than secure a scene.
Before being appointed to command Parkland, Jordan was assigned to BSO’s civil division, which serves subpoenas and injunctions, according to her online biography.http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/broward/article203661689.htmlTeen shot five times at Stoneman Douglas High plans to sue BSO, school systemA 15-year-old Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting survivor and his family have put Broward County authorities on notice that they will sue to seek money damages to help cover the cost of his recovery.
Attorney Alex Arreaza filed the letter on behalf of Anthony Borges, who was shot five times, including in both of his legs.
“These kids at this school were let down at just about every level,” Arreaza said.
The two-page letter was sent Monday to notify various Broward agencies, including the Broward Sheriff’s Office, of the Borges’ intent to sue.
In the letter, Arreaza says more should have been done to protect the students and teachers.
“The failure of Broward County Public Schools and of the Principal and School Resource officer to adequately protect students, and in particular our client, from life-threatening harm were unreasonable, callous and negligent,” he wrote in the letter. “Such action or inaction led to the personal injuries sustained by my client.”
Arreaza told the Herald that there was a breakdown on every level.
