Victims of the Parkland shooting are suing Broward county sheriff’s office and school district for not arresting juveniles at school that committed law violations. They are outraged at the “softening” of the law for schools. This is an outrage. I stand with the MSD parents and believe juveniles should be arrested and mugshot posted just like everyone else’s. We need transparency.
