Comment on Florida sheriff warns protesters ahead of nationwide rallies: ‘We will kill you dead’

I’m not endorsing this but I have to say the title is a bit click baity. This is what be actually says.

“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, because we will kill you, graveyard dead."

They arent just out there shooting people for regular protest

None of those things automatically give you the right to murder someone. Due process exists for a reason.

  Yeah I don’t think so either. I’m just pointing out that they omitted portions of what he said to get more clicks

    With how cops are, it’s tantamount to the same thing – it’s tacit approval for them to straight up murder protesters regardless of provocation. They can always make that shit up later and get off without consequences.

    This guy is basically waxing poetic about his hopes and dreams to violently brutalize the communities hes supposed to protect, and I guaranfuckingtee you, given the polices penchant for escalation peaceful interaction into violent hysteria, that it wont take firebombs, bricks, or anything else for them to start killing people.
    
    All it’ll take is one hurt feefee. Which is pretty much all it ever takes for cops to start brutalizing and killing the innocent.

There was more actually.

But what it comes down to is “Uhhh… It looked like he was throwing a brick. And that one, let’s see… Yeah she looked like she had a gun. The kid? Yeah let’s go with gun again.”

Do you really condone over free speech or minor vandalism or self defense? Do you support a police force that skips due process and goes right to murder? Given the situation in LA, and so many more examples of protesting, do you really think they won’t be instigating or faking escalation to murder people

  The first sentence specifically said they didn’t. The title was cherry picked to be inflammatory and the truth was plenty inflammatory enough. That’s all i got out of it.

Technically you are correct, but only if we completely ignore the context in which it was said.

Totally not a dog whistle.
