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.
These are the types of no nonsense people healthy communities elect as Sheriff. I am jealous of that county. Uuhhh. Someday maybe.
Optic for a maga presser would include a phalanx of coffins.
Ode to Toby Keith:

ZERO tolerance.
Lighten up, Francis.
There was a car chase yesterday in FL (YouTube). Totally unlike chases in CA. They rammed the car to stop it. FL cops don’t fool around.
They have been warned.
And he means it. In Florida if a mob surrounds your car and you feel threatened you can just keep driving... the mob has to move out of your way. We're NOT victims here in Florida...
Bravo.
It’s simple, the rioters and those who are supporting them, including the communist democrats, are seriously working to destroy this nation. Just like in any war, destroy the enemy before they destroy you. This Sheriff is right on!
I wish the LEOs in my state protected me as well as these Floridians are protected.
I hope that blocking traffic and sidewalks is seen for what it..is... not protest...but instead ACTS OF VIOLENCE.
TOUGH LOVE WORKS!
I, too like this guy as I top off all of my mags.
Florida got some great Sheriffs!!
“Graveyard dead.” Any man who is a fan of Jerry Clower, Uncle Bursy, and the Ledbetter family has my admiration and support.
“We killed the suspect. We killed him graveyard dead and we killed him dead in a gunfight, a firefight with our deputies who had no idea they were dealing with anyone other than someone being in the park after the park closed being suspicious and resisting our efforts to identify why they were in the area,” Judd said.
His voters want to be safe in their homes and businesses and not like where protests are getting out of control like California.
Elected leaders should take note of this.
Update: was not translated into Spanish.
Sheriffs are elected and a reflection of the people in the county. They can be unemployed after the next election. It makes all the difference in the world.
