Bell responded to Israel's comments by calling the sheriff a \"complete liar.\"

\"This has never been abut a contract,\" Bell said. \"This has been about his longstanding policies.\"

Bell said that the only thing that he and Israel agree on is that on the day of the Parkland shooting, school resource deputy Scott Peterson \"needed to go into the building to save more lives.\"

More than a week after the shooting, Israel announced that Peterson \"did nothing\" as he stayed outside the school as shots rang out for more than four minutes. However, Bell said Peterson wasn't a \"coward\" and merely \"froze.\"

The association will be taking the issue up with lawmakers in Tallahassee, where they will ask Gov. Rick Scott to \"do his job\" and re-evaluate Israel's position within the sheriff's office, Bell said.
