Florida Mayor is a drug dealer - shoots at police as they raid his house...

Mayor accused of shooting at deputies was a known 'drug dealer,' sheriff says
"He was a drug dealer. He had drugs in his house," Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said.

PORT RICHEY, Fla. — The mayor of Port Richey was arrested after law enforcement officers say he shot at Pasco County deputies.

The Pasco Sheriff's Office said around 4:40 a.m. Thursday, SWAT team members were attempting to serve a search warrant at a home on Hayward Lane in Port Richey.

The sheriff's office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Mayor Dale Massad fired two shots at the entry team who he claims he thought was the Port Richey Police Department. Deputies did not shoot back.

Which made it okay to shoot at them, apparently.

Cops didn't shoot back, Massad's house is still standing, nobody got killed or even hurt. I guess none of the officers was in fear for his life, even while the suspect was shooting real live bullets at them. It's not Massad is a seven year old black girl, so everything was okay.
