A Florida sheriff’s office posted a controversial message on social media, urging citizens to arm themselves in self-defense. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey posted the video on Facebook Wednesday, two days after a deadly workplace shooting in nearby Orlando claimed the lives of five people. FLORIDA SHERIFF DEFENDED AFTER ANTI-HEROIN MESSAGE COMPARED TO ISIS VIDEO“Folks, now more than ever is the time for our citizens to be prepared to serve as the first line of defense, not only for them, but for their families,” Sheriff Ivey said. “What they don’t count on is being attacked themselves, having to become defensive to save their own lives,” Ivey argued. The sheriff’s message received a mixed response.
