LAST EDITED ON Feb-23-18 AT 11:22AM (MST)[p]Just curious why the rush to lay all the blame at the FBI's feet and not the local officials, including local police?

Social workers, mental health counselors and school administrators ? the front line of defense for many young adults ? documented and dismissed red flags during home visits and school evaluations, the records show.
?Mr. Cruz stated he plans to go out and buy a gun,? an investigator with Florida?s Department of Children and Families wrote in Sept. 28, 2016, four days after he turned 18 and six months before he legally bought the assault rifle. ?It is unknown what he is buying the gun for.?
Quote:
School staff called Henderson Behavioral Health in Broward County after learning Cruz had cut himself and after a fight he had with another student. An Oct. 7, 2016, note by a DCF investigator indicates a school counselor said "Henderson's Mobile crisis unit had been call out to the school and determined that he was not at risk to harm himself or others."
The Henderson crisis clinician treating Cruz said he found him stable enough not to be hospitalized under Florida?s Baker Act, which allows the state to commit people who pose a threat to themselves or others.
Quote:
"To me, that's shocking,? Sanchez said.
Cruz presented a clear threat to himself and others based on the self-mutilation, a frequent trigger for involuntary commitment, he said.
Had DCF or Henderson counselors committed Cruz, state law could have prevented him from buying the gun.
"What more did they want him to say?? Sanchez said. ?As a professional, how many more signs do you need to see before we say, 'We have a serious issue here?? ?
I am not saying the FBI did a good job either, just curious why the Trumpettes rush to judgement on the FBI but ignored the years of warnings local mental health, school and local police had on him?
