I'm sure you know your own states politics very well, so I only became aware of then Governor Scott's latter views on some issues during the last election. So, I agree with you, he most likely would have suspended Sheriff Israel. So my original post should have read, "if a democratic governor "had" been in office", my error.
From what Ive read though, Scott's views did change during his tenure, which probably helped him get defeated in the last election, and this is just internet information below:
Although appearing somewhat conservative in winning the Republican primary, general election, and in his first few months in office, as he began focusing on his desire to be reelected in 2014 he became increasingly liberal, even to the point of attempting to impose ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion on his State, and he caved to the gun control lobby by proposing more gun laws.
In June 2017, Scott signed an expanded "stand your ground" bill into law.[6] However, in February 2018, Scott caved to the gun control lobby and began advocating for additional gun control laws.[7] On March 9, 2018, Scott fully caved by signing a bill that enacted several gun controls, including raising the minimum age of gun purchases from 18 to 21, allowing judges to confiscate firearms from people they consider a threat, and requiring a three-day waiting period for purchases.[8]
