It's clear that they want to make him culpable for what happened. First, because he didn't do anything and people were slaughtered over a LONG period of time while he sat there doing nothing. Second, and I really think this is the big driver, because he took away the anti-gunners argument that only cops should have guns because they're the only ones who can save anybody.

So teachers are required to enter a building with an active shooter? That seems like a difficult argument.
DeSantis announced the suspension at the Broward Sheriff’s Office headquarters while the displaced former sheriff prepared his response from a church in northwest Fort Lauderdale.
“I have no interest in dancing on Scott Israel’s political grave,” DeSantis said of the Democratic former sheriff, “but suffice it to say the massacre might never have happened had Broward had better leadership in the sheriff’s department.”
