Militarization of the police force, you say? Take a look at this...

Yeah, it's a warning meant to intimidate heroin dealers. But some people are saying the impression it creates of law enforcement officers is doing more damage than any prevention of drug crimes that may result.

LAKE COUNTY, Florida – An intense video of a Florida sheriff’s warning to heroin dealers has gone viral, but for interesting reason.

“Enjoy looking over your shoulder constantly wondering if today’s the day we come for you,” says Lake County Sheriff Peyton Grinnell in the video, “Enjoy trying to sleep tonight wondering if tonight’s the night our SWAT team blows your front door off the hinges.”

Masked SWAT team members are behind Grinnell in the video, concealing their identities because they’re in undercover investigations.

Views on the video are conflicting. Many on Twitter didn’t agree with the approach, criticizing and comparing them to ISIS.

1. THUGS

If they are undercover they should remain so...

And drugs should be legalized so all these twits are put of work intimidating and murdering innocent people.

Wow, what a terrifying concept... Stupid tough guys in masks...

This is the beginning of government invading your home without provocation and with impunity.

Trump is spy... Hes Putin's bum-boy and these images evoke the elimination of you personal freedom.

2. What's with the masked thugs flanking the sheriff?

What I thought this looked like was those Al qaeda hostage videos. All that's missing is a kneeling hostage in an orange jumpsuit waiting to get their head cut off. What in the holy hell is this?? Talk about being drunk on power.

8. "If today's the day ( un-natural pause)............we come for you"

He has the same problem with reading a telepromer that Blotus has.

Interesting fact: that is the county that arrested and fried Ted Bundy.
Pretty red-necked up in that area.

9. Good grief...

That is my Sheriff.

The sad thing is that most residents of this county will eat it up.

Of course they visualize the ISIS looking dudes crashing into houses occupied by people of color. Not theirs or their children.

10. I think that ISIS wore it better.
