New School Policing Info Marks Scott Israel An Ayn Rand Villain
Wesley Mouch
You know who Israel reminds me of? He reminds me of  Wesley Mouch   one of the villains in Ayn Randâs novel âAtlas Shrugged â the classic dissection of the big government mindset.  Mouch  is a DC hanger-on who fails upward into the position of chief economic planner  and every time his blundering interventions lead to disaster  he has the same response: âI need wider powers.â Itâs his signature line.
In other news  I occasionally get people who tell me that Randâs novels are not realistic. So why do people in real life keep auditioning for roles in it? Iâm going to start calling Israel  âSheriff Wesley Mouch .â
In practice  it functions like broken windows policing in reverse. The idea behind the broken windows approach is that if you crack down on minor crimes  criminals are deterred from committing bigger ones. They are not emboldened by the âbroken windowsâ of a neighborhood that has been abandoned by the police.  Sheriff Wesley Mouchâs  approach in Broward sent the opposite message  both to juvenile delinquents and to  his  own deputies  that anything goes because the police donât really want to enforce the law.
Sheriff Israel said that he instructed BSO deputies to issue juvenile civil citations  not arrests; The BCSDâs own written policy encouraged handling even criminal activity âoutside the criminal justice systemâ; The BCSDâs own written policy did not actually require arrests  even for felonies and serious threats to school safety;  Cruzâs  behavior included repeated disruptive behavior  violent outbursts  threats  and physical assaults on other students; and Cruz was never expelled or apparently arrested for this behavior.
All of this makes the case for why we need private ownership of firearms so we can defend ourselves. Because we sure donât want to have to depend for our safety entirely on Sheriff Wesley Mouch.
