Florida Sheriff to Anti-ICE Protesters: ‘We Will Kill You Graveyard Dead’
Trump’s police state is now official.
Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?
— Donald Trump to his Defense Secretary during the George Floyd marches and demonstrations….and yes, “riots”, in the summer of 2020.
I have conferred with the superintendent of police this morning and I gave him the following instructions...
I said to him very emphatically and very definitely that [he should issue an order] immediately and under his signature to shoot to kill any arsonist or anyone with a Molotov cocktail in his hand in Chicago because they’re potential murderers, and to issue a police order to shoot to maim or cripple any arsonists and looters–-arsonists to kill and looters to maim and detain.
— Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, April 7, 1968, after Dr. King’s brutal assassination.
Now comes word that the Sheriff of Brevard County, Florida, has vowed to kill any anti-police and/or anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during marches, demonstrations, or protests in “his” county this weekend.
His officers will not first detain nor arrest you. That means that he will not follow the Constitution and subject protesters…
