In reply to the discussion: Florida Sheriff floats deputizing all gun owners in county to battle protests [View all]sop
(9,846 posts)9. Cowboy hat-wearing Daniels, Clay County's first black sheriff, says he wants to run for Congress.
The chances BLM protesters show up in rural Clay County are rather slim, but he's staking out the christian law-and-order political platform just in case: "God is raising up men and women just like the folks standing behind me who will have strong backbones and will stand in the gap between lawlessness and the citizenry were sworn to protect.
Daniels is himself under investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement related to an affair he had with a fellow officer back when he was at the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office and a subsequent false arrest of that officer. Currently Daniels has six challengers in his upcoming re-election bid, he'll probably be out of office soon.
