Florida Sheriff Issues Blunt Warning to Rioters: ‘Throw a Brick, and We Will Kill You Graveyard Dead’
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey issued a brutal warning to would-be rioters on Thursday, threatening to “kill” anyone who attacks law enforcement.
Ivey explained a host of illegal actions for rioters and what their likely consequences could be:
“If you resist lawful orders, you are going to jail.”
“Let me be very clear about that. If you block an intersection or a roadway in Brevard County, you are going to jail.”
“If you flee arrest, you’re going to go to jail tired because we’re going to run you down and put you in jail.”
“If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County — gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave — in our county, you’re most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street.”
“If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital, and in jail.”
“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 that we have here.”
“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.
Watch:
Looters have since ransacked businesses.
Many demonstrators have carried foreign flags or worn Palestinian keffiyehs.
The sheriff appeared to have the issues in mind when warning the rioters.
“This has got to stop.”
“You’re watching what’s taking place out there.”
“You’re seeing police officers that are being attacked, being spit on, being put in harm’s way just for doing their jobs.”
“You’re seeing ICE agents that are being targeted for doing their jobs, and you’re seeing obstructionists that are doing all of this standing in the way of law and order.”
His remarks echoed those of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who said:
“In terms of the unrest, Florida’s policy is very simple: You have every right to exercise your First Amendment rights to protest and demonstrate,” the Florida governor said.
“The minute you cross that line, you are going to be met with serious pushback, and you will be held accountable. We do not tolerate rioting; we do not tolerate civil unrest; we do not tolerate looting; we do not tolerate attacks on law enforcement.“
What do you think the results would be if "Blue" cities had hero's like this?
