Florida sheriff says deputies will kill protesters who break the law during 'No Kings Day' [View all]

A sheriff in Florida threatened his community on Thursday, stating that if any protesters get violent or break the law, they will be killed.

"We will kill you graveyard dead," said Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey during an "anti-riot" press conference alongside Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier.

"No Kings" protests have been planned across the country for June 14, coinciding with a military parade scheduled in Washington to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. It's also President Donald Trump's birthday.

"Peaceful protests are part of our democracy," said Ivey. "The key word in that is 'peaceful.'"
