Well said.
A Florida sheriff warned that he would deputize legal gun owners in his county if he feels protesters are overwhelming the police force.
“If we can’t handle you … I’ll exercise the power and authority as the sheriff, and I’ll make special deputies of every lawful gun owner in this county, and I’ll deputize them for this one purpose: to stand in the gap between lawlessness and civility,” Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels, the county’s first black sheriff, said in a video released on Tuesday.
“That’s what we’re sworn to do. And that’s what we’re going to do. You’ve been warned,” he added.
