Transcripts For FOXNEWSW The Ingraham Angle 20180316

Indoctrination in the classroom. Pat caddell joins us with advice on the midterm elections that republicans still want to take seriously. And, first, walking out and walking away from the truth about the parkland massacre thats the focus of tonights angle. As we documented last night, the student walkout for gun control yesterday looked at times more like a political celebration than a somber protest. With left wing politicians greeted like rock stars. Look at how the crowd gathered at the u. S. Capitol with their selfie sticks in hand greeted Bernie Sanders as he made his way to the blow horn. Oh my god, they were going nuts. It was pure partisan politics. It was scripted and screamed. And why am i saying that . Because. Because it is not simply about gun control anymore. Oh, here. Because wait. Okay. Because it is not simply about gun control. This is about human life. This is about the children who have lost their lives to gun violence. So i ask our republican lawmakers, is their right to have a gun more important than our right to live . [cheers] laura not partisan at all. Look, thats a nice applause line. But, of course, the wrath of the students is misdirected. The lines are shouting many used repeatedly over the years by antigun activists conveniently do not address the real problem with that horrific tragedy at Stoneman Douglas high. The nra is not responsible for allowing nikolas cruz to be armed and dangerous. Neither are republican politicians that young lady just called out who support Second Amendment rights for law abiding americans. A new Surveillance Video just released by Court Order Confirms what we already knew. Due to malfeasance, cowardice, or just pure poor judgment, the first officer on the scene, Broward Deputy Scott Peterson, did not enter building 1200 where cruz was carrying out his slaughter. He arrived on a golf cart. You see him there, with Staff Members while the massacre was underway. In the video shows peterson with his gun drawn but then he steps back and he remains outside. He stood there as Nikolas Cruzs six minute spree of shooting continued. Well, in a statement, petersons lawyer claimed the deputy thought the shots were being fired outside. But these Radio Communications released last week demonstrate he knew the shots were coming from inside building 1200. Shots fired. 1200 building. We also heard it over inside by the 1200 building. Broward do not approach the 12 or 1300 building. Stay aleast 500 feet away at this point. Sean wow, as we will discuss in a moment, petersonen or none of the other three officers on scene followed police protocol. Remember what broward sheriff scott israel, that number said, when he was pressed about petersons response . I gave him a gun. I gave him a badge. I gave him the training. If he didnt have the heart to go in, thats not my responsibility. Laura so much for the buck stopping at the top. Israel, i know it sounds tough here, but, he comes off as a slimy selfpromoter. And the stories over the years about how he has hired his friends and his family in key positions, reportedly many of them not qualified after he was elect you had. And this is the same guy, by the way, sheriff israel, who thought it was appropriate to opine on a cnn town hall just a week after the shooting. Supposed to be doing the investigation. He is on tv. Of course, when he was on tv, he did not even mention the failure of Scott Peterson on scene. Look, many of those advocating for gun control post parkland, they want to look away from the errors committed by Law Enforcement which were numerous and frankly obscene at both the federal and the state level. There is almost no discussion at yesterdays rallies mentioning Nikolas Cruzs dangerous behavior was flagged repeatedly to authorities over two years. Starting in february of 2016. Now, just a few reminders because we forget this stuff after a month. On february 5th, 2016, Broward Police is told by an anonymous caller that nikolas cruz had threatened to shoot up his school and posted a photo of himself with guns on instagram. The info was provided to deputy Scott Peterson. Then on september 28th, 2016, an investigator for the Florida Department of children and families concludes after a visit that cruz is stable, despite finding fresh cuts on his arms, apparently selfinflicted. His mother linda cruz said he had recently spoken of buying weapons. Then, on september 24th, 2017, a youtube user named nikolas cruz posts a comment stating he wants to become, quote a professional school shooter. The fbi and mississippi hears of this but fails to make the connection to florida. Then, there was this. A few weeks after his mother died, on november 29th, 2017, the Palm Beach County family that took cruz in, after his mothers death called the Palm Beach Sheriffs Office to report a fight between cruz and their son. He bought a gun about a week and a half ago and he today going there now. Thats all you want with his gun and thats all he cares about is his gun. He bought tons of bullets and stuff and i took it away from him and i have a bunch of other little guns here. Bb guns though. He has real guns he is going to get now. Laura then she mentions specific threats he had made. Made laura its unbelievable to hear this. Then there were two other calls. One to broward the next day and one to the fbi on january 5th of this year tagging cruz again as a potential school shooter. Neither broward nor the fbi followed up. So, while everybody is denouncing the nra or trashing President Trump in the wake of the Sickening School shooting, activists might think that although its fun to get the coverage opt evening news or be the subject of an exciting viral video for your speech in front of the capitol, youre only hurting your own cause if you refuse to acknowledge, really focus on the fact that we actually didnt need new laws to stop cruz. We needed to follow the proper policing on the state and federal levels because had those that policy, those protocols actually been conducted, cruz would have been prevented from carrying out the parkland carnage. He probably wouldnt have been able to get a gun in the first place. Sheriff scott israel, after all of this, look, he should have packed his desk as soon as he learned of Deputy Petersons failure on his watch. The shooter was not confronted in the building. Instead of passing the buck and grant standing against the nra, thats what a good sheriff would have done. And thats the angle. Joining us now for reaction is jeff bell, the president of the Broward County sheriff deputys association as well as mark fuhrman, who is a former lapd detective and a fox news contributor. Gentlemen, its good to see you. Mark, lets start with you. It was chilling to watch the Surveillance Video and also to listen both to the students 911 calls and to the old 911 calls that cruz himself made and that cruzs caretaker at the time had made. Your reaction to the new developments . Well, when i watched the video, laura, the thing that really strikes me is watching peterson look at the building, not look at the area outside of the building. He knew the shots were coming from the building. He stood there and he listened for 4 to 5 minutes as probably as many as 17, 18, 20 people were shot inside. And he did nothing. So, i watch him in that video. I dont think he was mentally or physically prepared for the job. I dont think he probably ever was. He lost his nerve, if he ever had any. He lost it, and there is really no excuse for it except for, i think one thing is there was probably a lack of training and leadership on that Sheriffs Department coming right down from sheriff israel right down to Scott Peterson. Laura jeff, you had spoken about this before. The utter lack of time and focus on training for the exact type of situation that mark was analyzing there. Active shooter, it has to be muferl memory. You just know what to do and you have to train repeatedly and often to be able to respond in the right way. I mean, most people do. So, what do you know about the training at broward . We know what the manual says and im going to get to that in a minute, but what actually took place . Well, lawyer laura, i would think in Broward County i could sum this up best Law Enforcement community. We perfect storm coming. Unfortunately 17 people lost their lives in parkland that day for a series of events that we consider to be bad policy, the wrong priorities in training, the politicizing of our Police Forces down here, and the bad implementation of deals we made with the School Board Promise Program and civil citation what i mean by training when i go back to that our trainer does a wonderful job with the limited resources they have with the broward sheriffs office. But what we need to do is focus the resources that we have on better tactics and better training. For example, we spend n Service Training, 8 hours mandatory in Service Training in do escalation tactics, and then we spend another 8 hours in policing tactics to be nicer to people we are arresting. When it comes time to practicing on gun range and scenarios four hours of training on the gun range where we may squeeze off about 150 rounds and in two hours of practice with simulation on that. The wrong. Laura oh my goodness. Emphasis put on politicizing the Police Department and not training properly for these scenarios. It sought of control and we have to stop. Laura the politeness training. Maybe i need politeness training. Here is one school screen. First officers or two officers on screen will immediately go to confront the shooter. Military tactics work well in this situation. Also another part of it, remember, every time you hear gun shout in active shooter incident you have to believe that another victim is being killed. Mark, you know this well, with all your experience in lapd something isnt adding up here. We are getting report and still doing actual investigation on this. Reports from retired officers, mark, who say that because of the way the patronage system scott israel has in effect there, a lot of people in place with inadequate experience to do the jobs they are supposed to be doing. Inadequate experience but they got a connection because a friend of a friend gave a donation to his campaign. And it doesnt look good. On the surface it doesnt look good. Your reaction . Well, this is the problem when you have a politicized Law Enforcement agency, when you have an elected official calling the shots that quite possibly is a Competent Police officer or he could just be a civilian that becomes sheriff. But, when you start using nepotism to fill your ranks or favors or paying somebody back for their contributions or their support during the campaign, its the kiss of death. This is the leadership problem and as far as what jeff was saying about training, level one of those beautiful golf courses down in florida make a range for the officers, county wide, a state range. This is where the rubber meets the road. And as far as suspects and being nice, when they say you are under arrest, its up to the suspects to determine what happens after that. If they want to play hard, then you play harder. That class just lasted 30 seconds. Its over. You need to focus all your attention on the threat and the deadly threat. Not only to the officer but to civilians and citizens that are completely unknowing of the threat in front of them. Officers know it and they should train for it and they should train for specific incidents just like parkland. Laura jeff, i have to ask you about these calls that a lot of people havent focused on but that november, late november call to 911, you had nikolas cruz himself call saying i was kicked out of the house im staying. In i got in a fight with someone. I was punching the wall u and then ms. Deschamp who took in nikolas cruz, she said on 11 call that we just played he had held a gun to his brothers head before and to his dead mothers head who had just recently died. This was nothing new for him to threaten someone to hold a gun to his head. At that point you can both address, this how does the police not act on that knowing she says he is going to get a gun at Dicks Sporting Goods and basically said im very worried about that. And then she doesnt decide to press charges afterwards because she felt bad for him or whatever. Couldnt the police have acted right at that moment . Well, laura, down here in Broward County, with the Law Enforcement officers all of that was removed out of our hands with the Civil Citation Program or Promise Program out in the school or are 00 streets for these misdemeanor crimes we dont have the ability to arrest these juveniles and bring them down to the juvenile hall. Laura 19 years old. Not a juvenile. Correct. Is he 19 now but we have created this sense of empowerment to allow mr. Cruz and other people like this to get to this point where nothing has happened in their life and now we have created this problem. Right. I get that. But my point is at that point when his guardian essentially says pointing son, mother and brother and going to get a weapon. Could the police at that point have done something and should they have . Yes they could have its a felony assault with a deadly weapon. Laura it shouldnt be. Its not a misdemeanor. Brandishing a firearm is a misdemeanor but when you couple with a threat, a verbal threat then its assault with a deadly weapon. You have a victim its arrestable offense. At the very least you get the weapons out of the house. You arrest the juvenile. Get him in the system. Get him in front of a detective. A social worker. Get him into juvenile hall. If he is an adult get him into jail and have a detective talk to him. Do you what you can. Get all the guns, everything that he has then, and you take it. Laura there are so many things that are red flags here. Flares, fireworks. The fact that none of them added up to an intervention that stopped this is really stunning. None of this was discussed at the rallies yesterday. It was all donald trump is bad and get the guns. I mean, thats all we were talking about. We werent talking about any of this. I know the other lye line is convenient. Up next . Can i Say Something . Laura go ahead. Go ahead. I just want to say they are always looking for an excuse not to do something in certain instances. Female. Its a mental patient. Its a drug addict. Its a child. They are looking for a reason not to do something, not to do something because its difficult, complicated and timeconsuming. Laura and they might get sued, right . Or they might get disciplined. Or they might not get supported by the sheriff. Thats another thing that they are worried about. Everyone is worried about getting sued and having their lives turned upside down. And so the police are some of them are damned if they do damned if they dont. Its a terrible situation. That was a great seeing up next, we will tell you why the disgraced fbi official who oversaw the hillary email investigation is tonight fighting to keep his job just days before his retirement. And later, Michelle Malkin joins us to discuss what may be the first wave of parents fighting back against leftist indoctrination in the classroom. Stay there.
