Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey went viral for warning protesters to avoid violent tactics, and he blasted pop star Lizzo for apparently misconstruing his words in her own viral video.
Ahead of the "No Kings" protests that occurred across the country, Ivey warned at a news conference alongside Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, "If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital and then jail. If you hit one of us, you’re going to the hospital and then jail and most likely get bitten by one of our big beautiful dogs that we have here."
He went on to further warn, "Throw a brick, 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. We’re not going to play."
Lizzo appeared to call out the video in a social media post.
