‘We will be notifying your family where to collect your remains, because we will kill you, graveyard dead,’ the sheriff eerily warned Thursday

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

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey warned in a press conference Thursday that if any protesters “throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun,” they will be killed.

Protests against the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown have been popping up across the nation after they first erupted in Los Angeles on Friday.

They are expected to continue through the weekend, in alignment with the president’s birthday parade.

Do you really condone murder over free speech or minor vandalism or self defense? Do you support a police force that skips due process and goes right to murder? Do you support a police force instilling terror to “keep people in line”?Given the situation in LA, and so many more examples of protesting, do you really think they won’t be instigating or faking escalation to murder people.

That’s not a law and order speech, that’s a “meal team 6”, “itchy trigger finger”, looking for an excuse to murder someone. In any sane society, he would have been immediately relieved of duty, and facing charges.

And yes, any murders committed by that police force during upcoming protests should be considered premeditated, and premeditated murder not be protected by qualified immunity

The first sentence specifically said they didn't. The title was cherry picked to be inflammatory and the truth was plenty inflammatory enough. That's all i got out of it.
