New Stand Your Ground Task Force Members

April 24th, 2012 by flanews

There are two new members on the state’s stand your ground task force. Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings and FSU Police Chief David Perry will join the original 17 members when they meet for the first time in May. The men were suggested to the force by Attorney General Pam Bondi. She says having a campus police chief on the stand your ground review team will help.

“There was not a police chief represented on the task force. I think we needed a police chief. He’s local and I think it’s great to have a college chief,” said Bondi.

There are now 19 members on the review team but still no students. Black student protestors say they deserve a spot on the task force because they are more likely to be victims of gun crimes.
