‘JUST COMMON SENSE’: Polk county Sheriff tells community to protect themselves from looters, riots

A video of Polk County, Florida Sheriff Grady Judd has over three million views, but now he’s questioning why his words went viral. After his department discovered various social media posts urging protesters to enter residential communities to loot, riot, and begin fires, Sheriff Judd urged them to think again. He said the residents of Polk County WILL defend themselves, their families, and their homes, and if somebody tries to enter with ill intent, those law-abiding homeowners will blow them back out. But Judd says he told Polk County residents to do what every U.S. citizen has the right to do, so why were his words so controversial?
