SO THIS IS WHAT “AMAZING LEADERSHIP” LOOKS LIKE: Three media companies filed a lawsuit Monday to force authorities to release security camera video footage from the exterior of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to shed light on the actions — or inaction — of law enforcement during the mass shooting.

It’s bad enough there’s a school shooting, it’s bad enough there’s a plethora of evidence that the FBI, the school administrators and the Broward County Sheriff’s office stumbled through a cascade of failures resulting in this tragedy.

No, not bad enough. Now, you have to add Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel refusing to allow the press and public to see videotape from cameras outside the Parkland school on the day of the shooting. Where deputies were not only hiding, but according to later reports, prevented paramedics from entering the building.
