Calls for Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel to resign!

With everything going around about this guy that department probably needs a change in leadership!

Florida Gov. Rick Scott is facing a growing number of calls to remove Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel from his position over the department’s response to the high school shooting that killed 17 people.

Hager also cited reports that there were “23 calls…
