They Elected Him Sheriff
What is the likelihood of Sheriff Greg Tony applying for a job as a patrol cop again? The public can rest assured the scenario will not recur.
In mid-September 2022, the Florida Commission on Ethics ruled that Broward Sheriff Greg Tony had “misused his position and lied on his job application.” Tony began working as a police officer with the City of Coral Springs, Florida 2005.
After eleven years of service (2016), he left the CSPD department with the rank of sergeant in 2016. In 2015, Tony and his wife Holly started an “Active Shooter” training business called Blue Spear Solutions.
On January 6, 2017, Esteban Santiago-Ruiz, an Iraq War veteran with schizophrenia, flew from Alaska to Fort Lauderdale/Dania/Hollywood International Airport.
Once the plane landed in Fort Lauderdale, Santiago-Ruiz wasted no time retrieving his Walther PPS 9mm semi-automatic pistol. He went to the restroom, loaded his gun, and came out shooting. Within about 80 seconds after Santiago-Ruiz started his killing spree, BSO deputies took the active shooter into custody.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was in the middle of his first campaign for the Governor of Florida. The then Broward Sheriff Scott Israel (a Republican playing Democrat) did not support DeSantis. Broward County has the reputation of being predominantly a “blue” county.

BSO Sheriff Scott Israel In The Right Job at The Wrong Time
On February 14, 2018, another mass killing happened in Florida. Nikolas Jacob Cruz, a 19-year-old former Marjory Stoneman Douglas High student, entered the school. Cruz killed seventeen students and faculty members. Ron De Santos noted BSO Sheriff Scott Israel was in charge at the time of the shooting.
On January 08, 2019, when Ron De Santos took off as governor, one of his first acts — on January 11 — was to suspend Sheriff Scott Israel.
The case brought by the CJSTC (Florida Criminal Justice Standards & Training Commission) is moot, and they know it. It’s all political nonsense.
(1) But what is the likelihood of Sheriff Tony applying for a job as a cop again? That scenario will not recur.
(2) The chances of a similar controversy happening again between Sheriff Greg Tony and the Coral Springs Police Department are meager. The case is moot.
It would be better for someone to lie to get the job and testify truthfully on all police reports and in a court of law when dealing with arrestees.
At least 90 percent of all police officers testify untruthfully in court against African Americans. And it’s reasonable to believe they lie on their police reports—at some point. It would be naïve to think otherwise.
No one believed what African Americans used to say about police brutality and the lies told until the cellphone videos came along.
Rowdy School Kids In the City of Tamarac McDonald’s Parking Lot
Sheriff Greg Tony became a marked man when, on April 18, 2019, three out-of-control BSO deputies pounded the head of a 15-year-old Black boy on the concrete of a parking lot. The BSO Department investigates the brutal beating video by Channel 10 News. They found the deputies violated departmental policies.
Sheriff Tony attempted to discipline the deputies for the incident. However, an all-white jury and lop-sided judge nullified the Sheriff’s decision to fire the most brutal of the three deputies.
Soon after Sheriff Tony attempted to discipline the brutal deputies, that was when the police Union began pounding Sheriff Tony.

Before, there was the murder of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida.
There was another man in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who attempted to harangue another Black kid. The kid got the best of him. He went to college and earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree. Later in life, the kid became the Sheriff of Broward County, Florida.
Trayvon Martin didn’t get the chance to make it.
