The same failures of the Broward Sheriff’s Office still occur in our hypothetical. His deputies are no better trained to handle a school gunman. Ineffective radio communications still hamper the police response. In the months before the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, his department still fails to recognize Nikolas Cruz’s dangerous potential despite 23 encounters with the eventual mass murderer. The day of the shooting, his deputies still dawdle outside the school building while children inside are dying.
