Florida sheriff warns protesters ahead of nationwide rallies: 'We will kill you dead'

[highplainsdem]

Source: The Independent

A Florida sheriff issued a stark message to protesters planning to demonstrate this weekend against increasing ICE arrests nationwide.

-snip-

“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 are going to run you down and put you in jail,” Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said.

“If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital and then jail,” he continued. “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.

“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, because we will kill you, graveyard dead.

1. That's murder.................

[sheshe2]

12. Premeditated murder.

[BonnieJW]

40. I'll bet he's a riot at parties

[highplainsdem]

82. Exactly.

[IronLionZion]

15. They know they'll get away with it

Easiest way to get away with murder is to become a police officer

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

71. His name is Wayne Ivey.

He's been in law enforcement for over 40 years. Apparently he forgot WHAT his job is.

[Drum]

2. Tough tough talk.

[Attilatheblond]

14. Heard he ran out of Viagra and is trying 'alternative medicine'

[Seinan Sensei]

52. Seriously. How small has one's weenie gotta be

… to say stuff like this

[Basso8vb]

3. During the "Great Reset" once we take back control

we will eradicate all nazi scum from all levers of power and lock them up for the rest of their natural born lives.

[pandr32]

47. That can't come soon enough!

[maxsolomon]

80. You won't get rid of elected Sheriffs like this clown.

He reflects the true face of his constituents.

[BigmanPigman]

4. As opposed to "We will kill you alive"?

Sounds like a commercial for RAID bug killer. "Raid, kills buds dead". Are they going to bring cans of Raid to stop the protesters?

[travelingthrulife]

5. And if we lie and pretend you do those things we will shoot you dead.

These people are monsters.

[BOSSHOG]

6. Oh So Manly!

[Hey Joe]

7. They love the tough talk

I’m sure it gave him a woody. They take every opportunity to project their hatred and bile because they just can’t help themselves.

[the nelm]

43. "one of our big, beautiful dogs" - sound like someone we know? A Trump clone? n/t

[MorbidButterflyTat]

74. Thought the same thing

It's as if these MAGAts were just empty meat sacks waiting to be filled with a fat fugly felon.

[HappyH]

65. Not sure it would qualify as a woody

Maybe a twiggy.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Does Ronnie D approve this message?

Because a Sheriff comes under a Governor, unless that Governor cedes his authority.

[radical noodle]

55. DeSantis probably wrote the lines for him

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

89. Not sure what you mean?

As far as I know a Sherriff is usually an elected count-level official with no direct connection to the state government or the Governor. State Police fall under a Governors' control, but not local or county law enforcement.

I agree that what he said was wrong on both moral and legal levels. And that it may reflect DeSantis' views. Just arguing there is probably not a direct command relationship between the two.

[Walleye]

9. Well, they won't go to the hospital because GOPis killing Medicaid

Hope they go to the sheriff’s house and bleed on his sidewalk

[SpankMe]

11. I hope they go to the sheriff's house and shit on his sidewalk. n/t

[C_U_L8R]

10. I think what the sheriff is saying here

Is called evidence. Just try it treasonous dopey MFer.

[Baitball Blogger]

13. The true Florida finally comes out.

[walkingman]

16. He should run for Texas Senator - we love that manly bullshit.

[Brainfodder]

17. Found the weakest man in all of the state that quick, well played all!

Thanks for the laughs you dumb jackass!

[EarthFirst]

18. This guy needs to undergo a psych evaluation for the weekend...

72 hour inpatient evaluation.

It’s clear that this individual cannot handle the command that he’s been bestowed upon by the general public to serve and protect.

Put this psycho as far away as possible this weekend.

[Zorro]

19. Time for Florida to invoke the Baker Act for him

[Dave Bowman]

20. You should go easy with the roids, cowboy.

[DinahMoeHum]

21. Neah neah-neah neah neah booga booga bing bong

[Brainfodder]

22. What is his take on agitators embedded to wreck havoc and blame protestors?

Another quick kick for the Sheriff!

[MW67]

23. Translation

All of these protests and protesters are making our side look bad and having the effect of pointing out who is accountable for causing all the unrest, Stop making us look bad or I'm gonna off somebody ! Which I've always said these people will become their most dangerous ,unhinged, and violent when they are convinced the tide has turned and they are on there way out for good, just look ,the entire thing was started by Taco to break the news cycle of him receiving another foot in the ass every week, guess everyone everywhere should not say anything to upset all the " tough guy" maga self flattering types ,"cause they gonna kill somebody if they don't stop making us look bad" completely insane and very likely

[stillcool]

24. that's a new one for me...

Kill you Dead? Going to have to google that.

[flamingdem]

25. Put that redneck in jail

Immediately

[Simeon Salus]

26. Obviously just one of Florida's many manly men running for higher office

Because wherever you are, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey, you make chickenshit threats against purely imagined strangers with a purpose to intimidate.

Why? Because after 42 years of public service, you demonstrate you're completely unqualified to actually protect and serve.

[niyad]

27. Where do you stand on the J6 insurrectioinists, you murderous thug?

[orleans]

28. florida -- wow, who doesn't want to go there for vacation? seems like such a fun state

[twodogsbarking]

42. Indian Tribes liked it. Then the worst fucking thing imaginable happened. You know, morons.

[Smackdown2019]

29. Pumped Up Trumper!

Rights of Citizens are being abused/violated before anything occurred.

People are innocent until proven guilty and this executive branch is being the Judical branch before any crime has occurred June 14.

[hay rick]

30. Obviously running for higher office.

[twodogsbarking]

31. The Keeper of the Peace.

[lastlib]

45. more likely keeper of the Piece.....

(smaller the penis, bigger the piece.....)

[benpollard]

32. Should be a fun weekend.

[Danmel]

33. They miss Jim Crow

Unleash the hounds and water hoses.
MFers.

[bronxiteforever]

34. The Police Dog As Weapon of Racial Terror

The Police Dog As Weapon of Racial Terror
Police K-9 units in the United States emerged during the Civil Rights era. This was not a coincidence.

There were experiments with police dogs in England as early as the 1870s and Paris in the 1910s. Police dogs appeared on the streets of New York in 1907, but law enforcement “canine corps” didn’t become institutionalized until after Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–1956). Baltimore (1956) and St. Louis (1958) were the pioneers. By early 1960, at least twenty-four police departments had K-9 units. Many more would soon follow, by no means confined to the South.
… The German connection was overt in Mississippi in 1961. That year, the Jackson police borrowed Happy and Rebel, two German Shepherds, from the Vicksburg police to use against Black college students staging a sit-in in a segregated public library. A local newspaper (“Police Dogs Emphasize Law, Order”) reported, and not in a critical way, that the dogs had been trained by an East German refugee who was a “former Nazi storm trooper who trained Dobermans to guard Hitler’s airports.”

[republianmushroom]

35. Just another fine republican sheriff.

The law and order party.

[MiHale]

36. Bet me, if he got kidnapped...

Thrown in the back of a van, got a 45 pressed against his forehead…he’d be crying for mommy in a flash. Tuff stuff.

[patphil]

37. I could feel his hate, even just reading his statements.

This man doesn't belong in law enforcement. He's a walking time bomb that's going to cost Florida millions of dollars in civil suits, not to mention assault and possibly even murder.
He should resign from his position. That's the best way he can protect and serve his community.

[czarjak]

38. Death threats used to be illegal. What happened?

[Polybius]

67. He was careful enough to throw in "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun"

The keyword being "if." Although I'm not sure "throwing a brick" warrants the officer shooting.

[róisín_dubh]

39. Another Big Mac or 2 is going to kill him graveyard dead...

from the looks of it. Just like his furhrer Tr@mp.

[twodogsbarking]

41. In other news, all of the employees of the Florida Department of Tourism have requested deportation.

[Paladin]

44. Your daily dose of trump jackoff material. (nt)

[lastlib]

46. He don't look so tough.....

[skydive forever]

48. I live in Brevard County

And this guy has had many legal troubles because of his own lack of integrity. Sadly, he often wins.

[SouthBayDem]

49. Sounds more like Wayne Gacy to me.

In the words of another Florida lawman, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

[riversedge]

50. OMG! I only hope that all protesters stay safe and NOT harmed by Trump-Maga.

[hadEnuf]

51. Thanks for the warning, Nazi asshole. However, the sword has two edges.

If you falsely accuse peaceful protesters who are using their 1st Amendment rights and harm them, you may find yourself in a situation you did not bargain for. We out number you and we don't follow illegal directions. We'll leave the third one to your imagination.

[johnnyfins]

59. This is my favorite part of the 1st amendment

Nazi Assholes will ALWAYS out themselves as being, well, Nazi Assholes. They can't help themselves.

[Traildogbob]

53. Well

According to Clapton and Marley, your deputy may be safe.

[dchill]

54. He seems nice.

[orangecrush]

57. You'll get your big beautiful ass sued off

If you violate our civil rights.

[1WorldHope]

58. Serve and protect? Nahhhh.

[Buddyzbuddy]

60. Those are words of a cowardly, impotent, bully.

So you won't even think about engaging. Just as in the animal kingdom there are those animals that are capable of becoming larger and louder to ward off predators.

Republicans in general are cowards, scared of everything they've made up in their own minds. They're incapable of evolving. They don't know how to use their words or play by the rules. They bring guns and torches to protest. We bring signs and candles.
They storm the Capital, we stand outside on the steps and talk.

It may not feel like it, but we are winning. That's why they, from the top down, are so reactionary. If you're are truly in control, you don't need to threaten, yell or become violent. You calmly tell people what you want and expect them to do as told.

This is desperation because things aren't going as they planned. 2026 is getting closer and closer.

The law is on our side and we have patience. You don't see riots in Los Angeles, for the most part, you see peaceful protests. That frustrates them. It's not part of the plan.

[Magoo48]

61. He doesn't realize he's one of the turds stopping up our national toilet.

It is backed up now, but eventually it will flush.

[hamsterjill]

62. Why can't something be done about this?

This is clearly a direct threat to anyone exercising their constitutional right to protest.

[California Kid]

63. Boy, you're in a heap of trouble...

[Initech]

64. Legalized terrorism.

Hell of a job, GOP! You've officially turned into the parties that we once declared war against!

[Canada Kid]

66. Don't mess with me boy!

I'm Sherriff Buford T. Putzface...an' if ya'll come 'round heeaw lookin' fer trouble....wee just gonna give ya some! Y'all go way now...ya here! This is a modern day example of Florida's finest defending the 'gators an folks!
"The only free speech around heeyaw is comin' from my mouth, son!"
God Bless America!

[DFW]

68. Isn't Florida a Stand Your Ground state?

So, if his thugs corner a crowd of protesting Latinos and one of them pulls a threatening gun, and then 500 protesters pull theirs, who gets to start the fun? I remember DeSantis was a “gun on every hip” type 2nd Amendment guy. I’ll bet that in some barrios, he got his wish.

[The Grand Illuminist]

86. You also have to count the ones in the tall tree znd atop high rise buildings.

nt

[Scalded Nun]

69. Trying to out-asshole the restof the assholes

Pretty much a job-seeking video for any openings in the Trump administration.

[Ohioboy]

70. What a man

Don't incite any of what you just listed then, Mr. tough guy.

[returnee]

72. I wonder if he's ever heard the expression...

…”What goes around comes around”?

[madville]

73. Sounds about right for Florida

The Sheriff’s departments in most FL counties aren’t going to tolerate roads being blocked, letting suspects run away or their deputies being assaulted, they will retaliate with excessive force and basically have a blank check to do so because DeSantis will remove any state prosecutor that tries to hold them accountable.

[DUU]

75. Don't do stupid stuff especially this weekend

A young relative in the Guard called and said he won’t be able to come to our annual family get together this weekend. He is deploying “in support of public safety”. “What does that mean?” I asked.
He just said “it would be a really bad for anyone messing with police, fire or EMS. “

If you are “participating” this weekend, please don’t do stupid shit this weekend.

[struggle4progress]

76. It sounds like the tourism industry has a new slogan:

Florida is for corpses

[Irish_Dem]

77. They can't wait to kill Americans.

Chomping at the bit to start a massacre.

[Doodley]

78. "Graveyard dead!" He has written a whole SNL skit!

[SSJVegeta]

79. If their intention is to dissuade people from protesting, perhaps they should look at history

And see how killing and beating protesters in times like, perhaps, the civil rights movement, actually worked out for the government.

[The Grand Illuminist]

84. We live in different times now.

What worked then no longer works now.

[SSJVegeta]

87. Maybe not as different as we would like to think, though

[Bengus81]

81. There will be camera's everywhere asshat when YOU and your boys try and escalate a peaceful march

[The Grand Illuminist]

85. They'll just say "Hi Mom!"

They don't care.

[sakabatou]

83. Sheriff should be sacked and arrested immediately

[Skittles]

88. anyone who behaved that irresponsibly in any other job would be FIRED

SERIOUSLY bad judgment
