“Florida Governor Rick Scott has killed funding for a controversial ‘violence prevention program’ in Florida which caused a public backlash after the Sheriff’s office in Palm Beach County encouraged people to report on their neighbors for anti-government rhetoric. The program would have created a 24 hour hotline via which citizens could report ‘suspicious behavior,” prompting “a knock on the door and a referral to services’ by specially trained deputies and mental health caseworkers. Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw stoked anger when he suggested the program would be used to target political free speech deemed potentially violent by authorities.”
