Follow a simple timeline: ♦In 2011/2012 Broward County School administration made a policy decision to block the arrests of students in order to improve their education statistics. ♦In 2013 that same school board was warned what was happening as a result of that policy. ♦In 2015 the School doubled-down on the diversionary policies and allowed students to break the law, including physical violence, without legal consequence. ♦In January 2017 Nikolas Cruz criminally assaulted someone; again, law enforcement engagement was blocked by policy. ♦A year later in February 2018 Cruz killed seventeen students

I think if the victims would have pressed for charges, the school board could do nothing about it.
The police couldn't do anything because the victims chose not to.
Perhaps the state needs to pursue charges when victims will not.
Does anyone know besides murder, what charges the state can file without the victims consent and what laws regulate those?
Domestic abuse victims often chose not to.file. if the state could file any way, that would reduce domestic violence a lot. NFL players couldn't bribe their victims into not pressing charges.
I believe the instance this story refers to were threats against someone in the house he was living with.
If police can verify a threat was made or if a gun was pointed, perhaps allow them to make an arrest regardless of the victims wishes.
