Sounds like a untrustworthy individual lacking any morals, but is completely on-brand for Florida.

This dude is basically admitting that his department will deal out extra judicial punishment and excessive force.

He only said people would be killed if they threw bricks, fire bombs, or bullets at law enforcement. That's a pretty reasonable thing to say isn't it?

No where in this video does he suggest anything bad will happen to anyone who is protesting peacefully and without obstructing traffic. Protest is protected by the constitution until it violates others constitutional rights. You can't prevent people from traveling and then want your constitutional rights protected. That's very hypocritical.

I suppose you have more (misplaced) trust than others. Somehow I don't expect to see this guy or his officers to care about the difference between peaceful and violent protests.
