WINTER HAVEN – Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law on Monday a sweeping bill that he says will increase punishment for people who violently riot, loot and destroy property, and punish cities that don’t protect lives and property and attempt to redirect funding for law enforcement.
But detractors say the law violates residents’ first-amendment rights to free speech and targets Black communities, which protested last summer following the death of an unarmed Black man, George Floyd, at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. DeSantis signed the bill on the day the jury in the trial of one of those officers was expected to receive the case.
