Ha good laugh there but FAIL!
Fail because we are Americans and we don't have to have YOUR approval to protect ourselves, legally.

Yes. We have a right to defend OURSELVES. I'm a longtime LTC carrying individual. This isn't about MY approval but good try. This is about a sheriff going rogue. We have enough problems with TRAINED LEOs on the line. Putting a bunch of armed amateurs is asking for trouble. Other sheriffs and the LEO community are calling this a dumb-ass move. And it is.

Are people even rioting anymore?
I’ve watched very little news in the last 2-3 weeks. I know protests have still been going, albeit, diminished in size and frequency, but I haven’t heard anything about looting or riots in a while.
Arrests are being made to the rioters, they ARE slowing down but yes the last two weeks have been filled with them. The LEO's are finally pushing back is why it slowed down.

A quick Google search didn’t turn up much outside of the NYC Pride parade that turned sour after police intervention.
Any links to your claim? Not pickin’ at ya, I’m just curious as to the current state of the riots/looting.

Well, your first 'proof' was two teens trying to set fire to a statue and another was from May 30th. Can you show us some 'proof' of the dangerous riots in Florida? I can't find anything since the beginning of June during the Floyd protests.

Please interject some honesty into this discussion. He's not doing this. He merely threatened to do it. When he does, then we can talk. And if he does, which is highly unlikely, the backlash will be swift. And rightfully so. Idiot.

I haven't heard much about violent rioting here in Florida. At the beginning there was some in places, but not lately.
That link to the couple trying to destroy a statue with thermite is pretty crazy, but that is in South Carolina. Thermite though, damn, now that I think about I am surprised that hasn't happened in other places. Easy to make and set off, but they still need to know what they are doing for it to be effective. I kinda doubt that many of them do which I am glad about.
