The radical Left has been throwing violent tantrums ever since Donald Trump took office.
They thought they could intimidate law enforcement and get away with it.
But one Florida Sheriff stopped rioters cold with this graveyard warning they should not have tested.
Sheriff Wayne Ivey put violent protesters on notice
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey wasn’t mincing words when he addressed potential rioters ahead of the so-called "No Kings" protests that were planned across the country.
The left-wing agitators had announced their "day of defiance" against President Trump’s administration, promising to "reject authoritarianism" and "show what democracy really looks like."
But Sheriff Ivey had a different message for anyone planning to bring violence to his county.
"I’m gonna break it down for you, alright, and if somebody wants to know what I mean by turn violent," Ivey said in a video message that quickly went viral.
The Sheriff laid out exactly what would happen to anyone who thought they could riot in Brevard County.
"If you resist lawful orders, you’re going to jail. Let me be very clear about that. If you block an intersection or a roadway in Brevard County, you are going to jail," Ivey stated.
But he was just getting started.
"If you flee arrest, you’re gonna go to jail tired because we are going to run you down and put you in jail. If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County, gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave in our county, you’re gonna get run over and dragged across the street," the Sheriff continued.
Ivey made it crystal clear that his deputies wouldn’t tolerate any violence against law enforcement officers.
"If you spit on us, you are going to the hospital and then to jail. If you hit one of us, you’re going to the hospital and jail and likely will get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs we have here," he explained.
Then Sheriff Ivey delivered the warning that sent shockwaves through the radical Left.
"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," Ivey declared. "We’re not going to play."
Los Angeles riots show why Sheriff Ivey’s warning was necessary
Sheriff Ivey’s tough stance came as violent riots were already erupting in Los Angeles following ICE raids that arrested over 100 illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes.
The rioters burned cars, vandalized property, assaulted police officers, and threw Molotov cocktails and fireworks at law enforcement.
One Mexican national who entered the country illegally, Emiliano Garduno-Galvez, was charged with attempted murder in connection to a Molotov cocktail he threw toward ICE agents.
Rioters also threw rocks at Customs and Border Protection agents, with one agent suffering a minor injury to his hand after a rock broke through his vehicle’s windshield.
The violence got so bad that President Trump had to deploy at least 2,000 National Guard troops and around 700 U.S. Marines to restore order in Los Angeles.
In the Little Tokyo area, rioters tagged walls with anti-Trump and anti-ICE graffiti, writing things like "F*** ICE, Trumps A Lame."
Local businesses were forced to board up their windows to prevent further damage and looting.
Anti-ICE riots also broke out in New York City, resulting in 86 people being taken into custody on Tuesday alone, with 34 arrested on charges including disorderly conduct.
Florida won’t tolerate left-wing violence
Sheriff Ivey’s message reflected the broader stance of Florida law enforcement officials who have made it clear they won’t tolerate the kind of violence that has plagued other parts of the country.
While cities like Los Angeles and New York allowed rioters to run wild, Florida officials have taken a zero-tolerance approach to political violence.
The "No Kings" organization tried to organize their "day of defiance" across multiple states, but law enforcement agencies like Sheriff Ivey’s made it clear that anyone bringing violence would face serious consequences.
Sheriff Ivey’s video warning went viral on social media as Americans tired of watching violent rioters destroy property and attack police officers praised his no-nonsense approach.
The contrast between Florida’s law-and-order approach and the chaos in Democrat-run cities couldn’t be more stark.
While California filed lawsuits trying to stop Trump’s efforts to restore order, Sheriff Ivey was making sure his county stayed peaceful through strength and clear communication about consequences.
The radical Left has gotten used to throwing violent tantrums without facing real consequences in places like Portland, Seattle, and Los Angeles.
But Sheriff Ivey’s message was clear: that won’t fly in Brevard County, Florida.
His warning sent a powerful message that law enforcement officers who actually believe in protecting their communities won’t hesitate to use all necessary force to stop violent rioters.
Sheriff Wayne Ivey showed other law enforcement agencies across the country how to handle violent left-wing extremists who think they can intimidate police officers and terrorize communities.
