So far things have been quiet and protests have been peaceful in Clay County, Florida, and Sheriff Darryl Daniels wants to keep it that way. In a video posted to Facebook from the account of the Clay County Sheriff’s Department, Daniels warns would be rioters and looters what to expect if they try to do damage in the local community.
“Somebody has to step up in front of the camera and say ‘enough is enough,’” promises the sheriff in the video, adding “if we can’t handle you …. I’ll make special deputies of every lawful gun owner in this county.”
“In Clay County we have a great quality of life,” argues the sheriff while standing in a line of Clay County sheriff’s deputies. “We have a great relationship with our community, but across this country not so much. I just wanted to take a stand with these men and these women who feel the same way that I do. Lawlessness? That’s unacceptable in this country. Lawlessness? That’s unacceptable in Clay County. And if you threaten to come to Clay County and think for one second that we’ll bend our backs to you, you’re sadly mistaken.”
According to the sheriff’s department, Clay County hasn’t seen any major protests, but the office has had to deal with some recent vandalism.
