    Darryl Daniels is Clay County, Florida's first black sheriff, and he has posted a strongly worded video on his department's website warning those who want to cause mischief to stay out of his county.

    "Lawlessness, that's unacceptable in this country. Lawlessness, that's unacceptable in Clay County.

    And if you come to Clay County and you think for one second, we'll bend our backs for you, you're sadly mistaken.

    I know what happens when lawlessness prevails.

    And in this day and time, 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 we're sworn to protect."

    Daniels said he would deputize every gun owner in the county as special deputies to put a stop to lawlessness if necessary.
