Former school resource officer Scot Peterson is on trial for allegedly not following active shooter training during the Parkland school massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018. Peterson — dubbed “The Broward Coward” — has been criticized for his actions after surveillance video showed him remaining outside the high school while shots were fired inside killing 14 students and threes staff members. Peterson faces seven counts of felony child neglect, three counts of culpable negligence, and one count of perjury. He and his defense team believe the once “dedicated officer” did nothing wrong.

This witness is very damaging to the defense atm… We're learning that Peterson at the very least completely and totally ignored his training 1:26:09
Doesnt*
The sound quality is terrible.
Expect the Unexpected
Officer Peterson did do something, he did several things. I agree with everyone else…this case is wrong in so many ways and the jury agreed. How many tax dollars were spent on this frivolous case?
Sound stinks on these videos.
The FBI agents that had the knowledge ahead of the this incident should be held accountable.
Deputy Peterson's opportunity to have a positive impact was only during the initial 4 + minutes while shots were being fired, but he was prevented by lack of information and gaining real-time knowledge of where the shots were coming from. After that, his further involvement would have only been redundant and/or hindered the work of the SWAT teams. 20-20 hindsight at this point is non-productive and only serves to try to pin blame that is rightly shared by many involved that day.
This cop is so frustrated every time he has to agree with defense it sort of indicates what's up.
No way another scot Peterson 😂😂😂😂
If coward was a person
I want to know who was in the video room, he was actively trying to get intel on where the shooter was, hindsight is a beautiful thing. When you are in the moment things become overwhelming that does not mean you send a guy to prison.
That officer I believed lied. He did state I saw a video showing children leaving a building then he said he didn't 🤦
The defense attorney gives me Saul Goodman vibes, in a good way 😂
Is the first lawyer seriously questioning a witness with sunglasses on his head??
Scapegoating this officer. NG.
Is an officer obliged to act, by law?
I wanted to watch this trial so badly but no matter what device I use, what audio device I use, I volume is so low that it's just to hard to try and hear it. All other videos are fine, so I know it's not me. I hope the jury lets this man free, he is not a criminal and he should never have been charged.
He was really trying with the “is it prudent to stop parents coming on campus thing” 😂
Sorry for the family, he didn't have to fire power to handle a shooter, I understand he was there to stop students fighting at school, can't blame him
I think this judge is a jerk!!!
This defense attorney has NO CLUE on how a LEO should perform on any active school shooter scenario and has NO CLUE how monumentally wrong and contradictory (and intentionally criminally negligent) his client, Peterson, truly is.
Why are these cops covering for this lazy coward.
Active shooter does not mean stay in one spot and hide.
He could hear the shots and did not run to the shooter as training mandates.
Guilty..no pension and jail time …
What’s even more disturbing here is that if found guilty, Peterson may face the same life sentence as Cruz who actually carried all of this out and the sole reason this case is occurring in the first place… Peterson is clearly being made into the fall person in this situation as it wasn’t physically possible to clear all floors of the 1200 building by himself in the four minutes that he realized Cruz in all likelihood was still in the building even though there was conflicting info. from law enforcement already onsite and on the radio. Hopefully the jury examines everything here to determine the feasibility to read and react to this situation in real time at the time of the incident and return a verdict of Not Guilty. Defense counsel is doing an excellent job thus far with cross examination.
Cop is a COWARD but not a criminal.
If they are charging this guy they need to charge every cop that was in the uvalde school listening to shots going off more that once
Mark is in over his head here. Notice how everything has to be hypothetical because he knows that if he compares any scenario to what his client actually did which we all know was nothing. It wouldn’t match up or make sense. Mark clearly is one of these attorneys who thinks he’s a star because he’s hired to be a talking head on television. Point being he believes his on Bull***
Let’s just hope that the jury isn’t star struck. Stranger things have happened 😅
He’s just as bad as the uvalde cops
He must be from uvalde
I am so over this judge. He is so condescending towards the defense attorney and clearly very biased towards the defense. I have never seen a judge be so strict to where the state doesn’t even have to object, the judge does it for them. It’s hard to watch 🤯
Why aren’t we talking more about the FBI that admittedly had intel weeks before that this was going to happen? They get to simply say, “oops sorry…oversight” BUT FOR their lack of intervention, we wouldn’t be here at all. Start at that. SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING (except it’s ignored or overlooked).
imo, the judge is making some serious mistakes in the way he is dealing with the defense attorney. I happen to believe the defendant is guilty, although I don't think he is going to be convicted. But, if he is convicted, he will win an appeal due to the judge's rulings.
Sham of justice. I suppose that on 9/11 if one of those heroic fire fighters had decided they would not go into WTC and decided that their families needed them more than their job they would also have faced charges? There is no way to know for sure what anyone would do in the shock and stress of this situation. This should not be criminal. Ridiculous!
The dude is a coward. He's guilty.
The officer on the stand most of this day…his entire demeanor and his body language completely changed as soon as the defense attorney stepped up. I hope the jury saw that!
This is wrong he didn’t kill anyone he was scared. 99% of people in this comment section would be scared too. The shooting been over for 5 yrs let’s move on
Why is it a 4 day weekend? Government workers are parasites of hard working tax payers. Fake holidays and fake month long celebrations to please the pathetic squeaky wheels.
If any to be charged I would think it would have been Medina who saw NC get out of car with huge bag knowing he was kicked out of school
wait until later… all those involved in the false flag operation the parkland shooting will be charged with their crimes. they just don't know it yet because they are just puppets and pawns
Is this garbage still going on? Praying for not guilty!
God this defense attorney is a dickless little twerp.
imho According to what I've heard, he was bridging the gap…the radio failed. I'm still waiting to hear the rest from the state, who seem pretty unprepared!
I'll wait to hear the rest (if ever) of the state's case.
You gots to CRANK UP THAT VOLUME people! 😂🤣
Blame the police department for hiring a coward. Bahahahahahah
All I know is, if Peterson ends up getting convicted, then I’d expect to see the Uvalde officers charged as well, otherwise that is the height of hypocrisy and injustice, especially since the Uvalde officers didn’t have the excuse of “not knowing where the bullets were being shot”, had each other to back each other up to breech the classroom door, and some of the Uvalde LEOs had AR-15s and even a shield. Peterson had none of these tactical “advantages”.
