Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, who ran and won as a Democrat in the 2012 general election, is sticking to his guns- restating that he “absolutely” believes that schools need to have armed police officers.

Most, if not all Broward County schools are already armed or are assigning more throughout the school district.
