Broward Sheriff's sergeant who 'hid behind his car' during Stoneman Douglas shooting gets job back, awarded back pay

Unbelievable.

An arbitrator ruled that Broward Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Brian Miller, the first on the scene to the Stoneman Douglas shooting in Parkland, FL who “hid behind his car,” should get his job back, with back pay:

From the Miami Herald:

The Broward Sheriff’s Office sergeant who was the first supervisor to respond to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and lost his job after it was found he hid behind his car as the first shots rang out, will be reinstated, awarded full back pay and get back his seniority, the BSO Deputies Association said Wednesday.

Sgt. Brian Miller was one of the four deputies who were terminated because of a “neglect of duty” in the Feb. 14, 2018, Parkland shooting, which killed 17 students and faculty members and injured another 17.

Miller, 57, was paid $138,410.25 in 2017, according to the Sun-Sentinel. The BSO veteran had challenged the decision with union backing. An arbitration ruling found “BSO violated Sgt. Brian Miller’s constitutional due process rights and improperly terminated him,” the union said.

Oh, and by the way, Gregory Tony, the guy hired to replace disgraced Broward Sheriff Scott Israel, has a controversy of his own after it was revealed he killed some dude as a minor and potentially lied about when he was interviewing for the job:

Way to go Broward County.
