Broward County Sheriff's Office Prepares Zimmerman Verdict Riot Plan

On Monday, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office released a video calling on the public not to riot in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict, expected this week or next in Florida. The Sheriff’s Office released a statement explaining that it was “working closely with the Sanford Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies” to coordinate “a response plan in anticipation of the verdict.”

The video, titled “Raise Your Voice, Not Your Hands,” focuses on attempting to channel reaction into non-violent response. It depicts two youngsters, one black teenage boy, one Hispanic teenage girl. “Raise your voice!” says the girl. “And not your hands!” says the boy. “We need to stand together as one, no cuffs, no guns,” says the girl. “Let’s give violence a rest, because we can easily end up arrested,” says the boy. “I know your patience will be tested,” says the girl, and then both conclude, “but law enforcement has your back!”

“Let’s back up and choose not to act up, and deputies are with us, so no need to act up,” says the boy. “Let it roll off your shoulders,” says the girl, “it’s water off your back, don’t lack composure, because in one instant it could be over.” Both conclude: “So let’s make the choice to raise your voice and not your hands.” Sheriff Scott Israel says, “I’m Sheriff Scott Israel, and law enforcement does have your back.”

If Zimmerman is convicted do you suppose White Hispanics will riot?

This was a “race” trial.....just like the Duke Trial. It needs to be treated the same. Not guilty is NOT enough.

Yeah, that’ll work...

Yep. Dumb waste of money. No potential rioter is going to change his plans just because somebody tells him that “law enforcement has your back”.

In fact, I don't even know what that phrase is supposed to mean in this situation.

This kind of reminds me of Nancy Reagan's old anti-drug TV messages. Like any pot head would change his behavior based on what she has to say.

Most rioters are opportunists, not idealists.

During the LA riot, most of the looters were women and children.

Exactly. It’s just an excuse to steal, set fires, and beat the crap out of people. Savages all.

Here's a plan: They riot - you shoot.

They call them "riot guns" for a reason....

The anger should be among whites who have followed the trial and can now rightly conclude they have been deliberately profiled, maligned, and collectively smeared by the powers that be.

Moreover, I can think of nothing that so clearly demonstrates the absence of white on black crime in this country, at this point in time, than the choice of this particular episode in order to push the concocted white racism narrative.

So, they’re worried about riots if he’s found guilty?

Hand out a shotgun and a case of shells to each of Sanford's black store owners before the verdict is read.

Show the distribution of shotguns on the evening news.
