North Florida County Sheriff Gave Violent Protesters And Rioters A Stern Warning

Black Lives Movement (BLM) violent protesters and rioters have now been adquately warned by the Clay County authorities not to create trouble or they will face grave consequences.

In a three-minute Facebook video, Sheriff Darryl Daniels said last 30 June that "we'll be waiting on" protesters who are "disrupting the quality of life" in their northern Florida county.

"If you threaten to come to Clay County and think that for one second that we'll bend our backs for you, you're sadly mistaken," said Daniels, with about 17 deputies standing behind him.

"I'll make special deputies of every lawful gun owner in this county. And I'll deputize them for this one purpose — to stand between the gap of lawlessness and civility," he said.

Daniels, a first-term sheriff who is in the middle of his campaign for reelection, said he would use his authority as sheriff to grant civilians the authority to enforce the law within the county's jurisdiction.

Daniels, who is Black, said he posted the video as a response to questions on how he would handle rioters.

"We'll be waiting on you. And we'll give you everything you want — all the publicity, all the pain, all the glamour and glory for all that five minutes will give you," he said.
