““If somebody wants to know what I mean by ‘turn violent,’ this is what I mean," Ivery said. "If you resist lawful orders, you’re going to jail. Let me be very clear about that. If you block an intersection or a roadway in Brevard County, you are going to jail. If you flee arrest, you’re going to jail tired, because we are going to run you down and put you in jail.

"If you try to mob-rule a car in Brevard County—gathering around it and refusing to let the driver leave—in our county, you’re most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street. If you spit on us, you’re going to the hospital and to jail," he added.

The clip was reshared by Phil Mickelson on his X (formerly Twitter) account with a caption:
