At a Florida press conference, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey issued a deadly warning to potential protesters.
"If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you, graveyard dead. We're not gonna play. This has to stop."
"If you spit on us, you're going to the hospital, then jail," said Ivey. "If you hit one of us, you're going to the hospital and jail—and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs we have here."
The press conference happened just two days before the weekend. No Kings protests are planned for 70 locations in Florida, and more are planned across the rest of the United States. The governor has also outlined his stance on any potential violence.
"Florida's policy is very simple," said Governor Ron DeSantis. "You have every right to exercise your First Amendment rights to protest and demonstrate. The minute you cross that line, you are going to be met with serious pushback, and you will be held accountable."
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier also announced at the press conference that state law enforcement is implementing a new program to protect ICE agents who have been doxxed. Doxxing is publishing personal or identifying information about an individual, usually with malicious intent.
Ping.
I like this guy!
FAFO easy to understand
Works for me.
If you call me Francis…I’ll kill ya
The warning should have been, we will treat you like liberals treated Ashley Babbitt if you try that here!
well, that’s pretty clear
It’s about time someone said it.
Now we need Pennsylvania sheriffs to stand up and say the same thing.
Same for me.
So do I.
It is about time.
About f’n time!!
would be nice if all the rioters’ funding could be confiscated real soon
This is what good leadership looks like. Lefty leaders will never change though.
So many places are reporting this as if he simply threatened to shoot anyone who was protesting.
I expect better out of Townhall.
Heck even the Daily Mail clarified it in the headline.
And it’s only is they do something that could potentially take the life of an LEO, and they are completely justified in protecting themseves.
Being LE does not mean having to stand there and take any crap some thug hands out.
Update: was not translated into Spanish.
Yup and go towards paying what it costs to deploy extra LE and National Guard.
He should be cloned and sent to head up every sheriff dept in the country.
If only everywhere authorities and citizens said this and were ready to back it up.
