Survivors and families impacted by the Parkland mass school shooting condemned a Florida jury’s decision on Friday to acquit Scot Peterson, a former school police officer who was accused of failing to prevent the 2018 massacre, which killed 17 people.
“Remember even when there ARE cops on campus doesn’t mean they will do a damn thing and when they don’t the system does NOTHING,” the activist David Hogg, a student at the time of the shooting, wrote on Twitter on Thursday. “The cop in Parkland like those in Uvalde wasn’t a good guy with a gun, he was a coward with a gun.”
