Why Were Parkland School’s Cameras On a 26 Minute Delay?

Another data-point:

Surveillance footage from the Florida high school where 17 people were fatally shot and more than a dozen others wounded was not shown live, as responding officers initially thought.

It was on a 26-minute delay — leading police to brace for a shootout when the gunman was actually long gone, Coral Springs Police Capt. Brad McKeone said.

“Nobody told us,” Coral Springs Police Chief Tony Pustizzi told the Sun Sentinel, which first reported the tape delay.

But McKeone, one of the responding officers, said the delay did not hinder access to the victims.

“It had no delay. It didn’t slow us down to getting us to anybody,” McKeone told CNN.

The main difference, he said, was that officers thought they were going to confront the gunman…

Broward County Public Schools has not responded to CNN’s request for comment Thursday about the school surveillance system. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office, which is now leading the shooting investigation, also has not explained why the video was on tape delay…

“Somebody would say, ‘He’s on the second floor,’ and we had guys on the second floor saying, ‘We’re on the second floor, we don’t see him.’ That’s when we figured out there’s a tape delay,” Pustizzi told the Sun Sentinel.

According to police scanner traffic from the streaming website Broadcastify, at 2:43 p.m. on February 14, police found someone to give them access to the school’s security footage…

By 2:54 p.m., police were watching Cruz make his way through the building.

“They are monitoring the subject right now,” one person says. “He went from the third floor to the second floor. He may have a gas mask on now. Stand by for further. They’re monitoring him on camera.”

But the suspect had fled the building 26 minutes earlier, according to a preliminary timeline provided by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

First notice again, Coral Springs is not Deep State controlled, which is why they will not have a school shooter until their police chief is imprisoned and replaced with a Deep State operator, and their officers either turned or replaced. I would take this independence as prima facia evidence that Coral Springs must be one disciplined department with incorruptible officers of impeccable morals and behavior.

As a result, Coral Springs PD keeps speaking openly and honestly about all the weirdness, while Broward, which is under machine control, keeps trying to avoid discussion of all the disturbing loose ends by not commenting.

When you see something like this, view it from the perspective of an operator setting the stage for a successful operation, because with the Deep State, that will often be what it is. Then ask yourself does it make sense from an accidental standpoint, or from an operational standpoint? There is no reasonable reason for the school to have its cameras on a half-hour delay, nor do I see how that happens accidently. In fact, as far as I know, no DVR has a delay. They only have the option of replaying old recordings. Simply calling it a delay is disingenuous.

So why would this be done? Remember that Cruz had to walk through the front gate, right after it was unlocked, with an AR-15 in a soft-case – almost all of which are black, assault-rifle-shaped, and have the distinctive 30 rnd mag pouches along the side.

Security cameras will always focus on access points and choke points/transit paths, and in this school the front gate was both. If Cruz, a known risk, which security had been briefed was not allowed to even carry a backpack, had walked alone through the entrance carrying an assault-rifle-shaped case and a heavy backpack filled with loaded mags, that would have almost certainly attracted attention if anybody was at the camera. And if they saw it, it would have triggered alarms. The response could have been almost instantaneous if they radio’d the school resource officer, and police would have arrived much faster with a 911 call that began before the shooting started. The SRO, guided by radio, might have reached him even before he could have unpacked the gun and loaded it. Then again, the SRO’s post may have been at that security system, and that system might have been near the front gate. He might have been able to pop out a door and confront the shooter before he got his gun up.

But somebody created a delay in the camera system of almost a half hour, so none of that could happen.

I have had six different security DVR systems, upgrading over the years. None of them would default to a delay when started up, and I am not even sure how I would create the delay, other than to enter the replay screen and replay old video, starting a half hour back, and then just leave it replaying.

But on every system I had, replaying old video would create a separate control panel for playback and file selection which was not present in the default live screen. Live screens, when you call up the menu, have a different set of options, relating to screen resolutions and frame rate selections (to optimize video quality or file size), file recording formats, internet connectivity settings, sound capture, HD setup, reboot options, 4-9-16 camera display options, Pan Tilt Zoom for each screen, screen settings and color adjustments, and so on. The playback screen has the menu for date and time selection of clips, as well as play forward or backward, fast play and slow play, frame by frame, pause, backup file to USB or disk, and so on. If a cop showed up on my front step, and asked to see a live shot of my backyard, there is zero chance I would show him a replay of ten minutes ago. Every system I had also had a quick option to get to the live screen, like right clicking a menu and selecting something like “GoTo Live.”

It makes sense. I mean what system would want to have a screen playing old video which could be mistaken for live video. That would almost rise to the level of a defect in system design. Because when you have a live active shooter, someone might come in, check the screen, and not realize they are looking at video from 26 minutes ago.

Notice the massage of it too. A “tape delay” makes it sound harmless and accidental, but this was not a tape delay. These devices do not even use a tape. The DVR was almost certainly set replaying old video from 27 minutes back so it would not show what was going on in real time, and Cruz could make entry with his AR-15 without any resistance, and then the side menu was purposely killed so it wouldn’t be obvious it was old video playback. I have to wonder if the School Resource Officer set it that way, under direct orders from his handler, since I would imagine his responsibilities would bring him in contact with it, and he appeared to be on the playbook. That the media perpetuates the innocuous explanation by calling it a tape delay only makes me think they are part of the coverup.

That “tape delay” was not accidental. Somebody set that camera system like that, and the only reason to do that would be to sabotage any defenses against an active shooter. So I view this as yet one more example indicating enemy action.

At least they set the delay long enough, and the police response was held up long enough, that it didn’t get any of the responding Coral Springs PD killed by sending them through a place the video said had no threat, while the shooter was there, poised to kill them. If that delay had been four minutes, and cops were moving based on the video not expecting to encounter the shooter, and they suddenly bumped into him while not ready, the hero cops who ran in could have been killed too.

If you are trying to do good around the Deep State, especially if you are a cop, watch your ass, and remember nothing is necessarily what it seems.

Tell others about r/K Theory, because until it is everywhere, everybody is at risk
