He was reported to the school and was taken out of class and questioned by not one, not two, but three Broward County deputies. Without a parent present. And in his opinion, in a very aggressive manner.
He posted about that too.
Then the Broward County SO released a deputy's incident report of the contact with the kid. And it is laughable. The deputy that wrote it misspelled RIFLE twice. Seriously. And, he mixed the kid's parents' names up in the report as well.
Questioning a kid without parents. Writing reports filled with spelling errors and false information. That department has a serious lack of professionalism.

Oh yeah, the video has not been taken down either.Quote:
On April 23, 2018 I was approached by the school security supervisor Mr. Greenleaf regarding a student that posted a video on social media of himself shooting a riffle. There were students concerned about the video.
The student was Kyle Kashuv w/m [birth date]. He was asked about the video and he stated the riffle [sic] was a friend of his [sic]. He stated he went shooting with his dad and he took a video and posted it on social media. He said he didn’t threaten anyone.
Kyle mother [name redacted] was contacted and she said she knew about the video and she confirmed Kyle statement about going with his dad to the gun range. She stated he’s a good kid and wouldn’t hurt anyone.
The video was taken down prior to the meeting.
Dumb.
The school assumes the role of guardian while the child is in school.
We had an issue, close to 30 ago with our daughter. To say they over stepped their bounds (le & school district) would be an understatement. However after consulting with more than 1 attorney i was told there were grounds to move forward.
BUT..... the school admin will say they were acting on what they "thought to be" the best interest of the child. LE will say they acted on school authority request.
The question we were asked was. How much would we like to spend to pursue the questionable violations that were present. LE apologized, the school admin didn't give 2 shits.
The teacher who started the ball rolling took some admin leave and never apologized. She was "acting on her feels" just 1 more reason those in the education system have done so well brain washing public school kids.
That sucks Kazoo. I am no fan of public schools.
This pro 2A Parkland kid seems to be doing a good job tearing apart the school via the interwebs and supportive media. I don't think he intends to make it a legal fight. But who knows.
School district shuts down information after Parkland shootings
Quote:
The Broward County, Fla., school district's repeated, emphatic - and it turns out, false - statements that Nikolas Cruz had not been in a controversial disciplinary program fit a pattern of an institution on the defense and under siege.
Facing significant legal and political exposure over the Feb. 14 shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the district has tried to keep information from the public and put out untrue and misleading statements, frustrating parents who say this is the time for maximum transparency.
The district is fighting in court against the release of school surveillance video. It flatly refused to provide any records regarding the shooting to the news media, in a possible violation of the state's open-records law. Superintendent Robert Runcie has blocked critics, including parents, from his Twitter account. More than two months after the shooting, a Broward sheriff's detective told a state commission on school safety that he was still waiting for the district to provide all of Cruz's disciplinary records.
The worst came last week, when Runcie acknowledged that his forceful denials that Cruz had been involved in the Promise program, which is intended to provide an alternative to the arrest of students for minor offenses, were wrong.
"It would appear that the district is more interested in protecting their programs than they are the students and teachers in our schools," said Ryan Petty, whose 14-year-old daughter, Alaina, was killed by Cruz during his rampage through the school. "As a father, I would ask the district to please be completely transparent so we can make sure this doesn't happen to any other children in any other schools in Florida."
School district spokeswoman Tracy Clark said the district has provided accurate information to investigators, the press and the public as fast as possible and "any suggestion that the district is not being forthcoming is either based on a misunderstanding or misinformation."
"The district continues to focus on responding in a timely and accurate manner to the unprecedented number of public records requests, media requests and subpoenas related to the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School," she said in an email. "In addition, we have coordinated numerous interviews with employees as part of the various ongoing investigations. Both the State Attorney's Office, through the Broward Sheriff's Office, and the Public Defender's Office have been given complete copies of the records related to Nikolas Cruz that have been gathered to date."
Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was killed in the shooting, said he was surprised to learn that the district still has not provided all of Cruz's records to investigators. At a meeting of the state commission set up after the shooting to improve school safety, Pollack asked a Broward sheriff's detective whether all of the records had been provided.
"I believe that some of the items we are seeking to get from the school board, we have received some," Detective Zachary Scott said. "But I do not believe we've received everything yet."
"It caught us all off guard," Pollack said in an interview last week. "We didn't believe it. It's past two months now already. A lot of the people on the committee couldn't believe it."
From the school district, Pollack said, "there's no honesty at all."

Female police captain, who stopped deputies from storming Parkland high school during Nicholas Cruz's deadly rampage, will be removed from her position
•Jan Jordan issued the command 'NEED PERIMETER' over her radio on Feb 14
•Police sources say she was in charge and that deputies had to follow her orders
•It was given at 2.32pm, 15 minutes before a SWAT team entered the school
•Gunman Nikolas Cruz, 19, had already fled in a crowd of panicked students
•Deputies say Jordan's decision was described as 'atrocious' by police sources
•Some said it may have cost some of the 17 lives that were taken
•Broward County Sheriff's Office said she 'asked if a perimeter had been set up'
The police captain who told sheriff's deputies to 'stage' and form a perimeter outside Stoneman Douglas High School as students and teachers were shot inside on February 14 is being replaced.
Jan Jordan, 49, was in charge of deputies who responded to the first calls of the shooting in Parkland, Florida, on February 14.
She will be removed from her position, which will instead be taken up by an officer of a higher rank, Fox News reported on Thursday.
The move to replace Jordan with a major was made as part of the city's re-evaluation of its contract with the Broward County Sheriff's Office.
Jordan, the 27-year force veteran, was issuing commands from her radio during the response to the shooting.
At 2.32pm, ten minutes after the first call to police that shots had been fired, the following command came from Jordan's radio: 'NEED PERIMETER'.
It was included in the police log from the day with her radio call sign, 17 Sierra 1.

Jordan has not spoken out since the shooting to confirm that it was her who sent the signal and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel will not speak of it either.
Sources, however, said it was indeed her who gave the command and that it may have cost lives.
The order goes against the sheriff's department's policy to immediately enter the site of a shooting until the suspect is in custody.
When questioned over the command, a Broward County Sheriff's spokesman claimed she was 'asking' if a perimeter had been set up and not ordering for one to be put in place.
They said the command came after gunman Nikolas Cruz had left the building but there is no evidence that she knew he was no longer inside at the time she sent it.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/newpix/20...0346917908.jpg
'Captain Jordan asked if a perimeter had been established after the shooter left the building,' the spokesman told Fox News.
The SWAT team entered the school at 2.47pm, 15 minutes after the 'need perimeter' command was issued.
It was not until 3.02pm that the first mention of the gunman leaving the school was made.
'20 min delay from camera. He exited the building running south,' it said.

Jordan was hired by Israel when he was elected in 2012.
Beforehand, she spent decades working for police in Fort Lauderdale and she also worked briefly in Colorado.
She has not spoken about her involvement in the shooting.
When approached by an ABC reporter last week, she said: 'I don’t have any comments. Sorry, sir.'
When it emerged last week that officers had been told not to go in immediately, one law enforcement source told Fox News the decision may have cost lives.
'It’s atrocious. If deputies were staging it could have cost lives,' they said.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office has come under intense scrutiny over its handling of the massacre which killed 17 and left another 16 injured.
School resource officer Scot Peterson, who worked for the department, resigned a week after the shooting after it was revealed that he stayed outside as other officers went in to find Cruz, 19.
Peterson's actions were slammed as cowardly by a wave of critics which included President Trump himself.
Theory: she didn't want to give the order which could result in the SWAT doing their policy-enforced duty to engage an active shooter. Why? Because women, typically and by nature, do not desire a fight and do not desire to order a man to fight.
Saw this sort of behavior in the Army, too. Usually out of wimpy males. Have heard stories of female officers and NCOs having the same issue. It comes down to mentality and willingness to engage in violence. Women aren't generally programmed to do so, and those who have overcome that natural barrier are generally awful to be around.
I hate the way that they seem to use "police" describing the Sheriff's Dept., but they are British.
I won't be happy until that PoS Sheriff is gone.
