A Florida sheriff has warned protesters that they will be killed if they throw weapons or point a gun at law enforcement officers.
Brevard County Sheriff, Wayne Ivey, addressing a press conference on Thursday, June 12, 2025 had a warning to violent protesters and rioters ahead of Saturday’s “No Kings” rallies against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
According to him, “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 are not going to play.”
He added that “If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital, then 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 we have here.”
Ivey noted that “If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County — gather 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.”
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, a Republican, backed Ivey’s stance, which followed remarks by GOP Governor Ron DeSantis, who recently suggested that drivers could run over protesters if they felt the need to flee for safety.
“You don’t need to sit there and wait while people smash your window and damage your vehicle and put your family in jeopardy. You drive. Just drive,” Uthmeier noted at the press conference.
