Florida...

 

Police went to a  mayor's house with a warrant and they say he shot at them

190221184823-port-richey-mayor-dale-mass

Dale Massad, who was elected mayor in 2015, was arrested by the officers from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and accused of practicing medicine without a license. He now also faces two charges of attempted murder. 

Nocco said no one was hurt at Massad's home after the predawn incident in which the sheriff's SWAT officers were assisting FDLE.

According to a complaint affidavit, SWAT officers knocked several times on the front doors of the mayor's home and tried unsuccessfully to use a battering ram to force them open. Another officer tried shooting the locks of the doors with a shotgun.

After they swung the doors open, a SWAT member set off a flash bang grenade inside the doorway.

When officers heard two shots, they retreated behind an armored vehicle, the court document says.

The mayor had a gun in his hand, so officers ordered him to drop the weapon, Nocco said. 

"If somebody is firing at us we have every means and every right to fire back at them," the sheriff said. "They did what they thought was appropriate at the time.

"He's lucky he's not dead."

Authorities said Massad, 68, was in jail Thursday. It is unclear whether he has an attorney. CNN called his home number and reached out to family members but didn't get a response. 

Massad relinquished his medical license in 1992 but was still practicing medicine, the FDLE said. Patients were coming to his home, the agency said in a news release. 

"He had performed medical procedures at his residence, with one procedure requiring additional hospital treatment for the patient," the statement said.

Port Richey is on the Gulf of Mexico and has about 2,800 residents. 

“If somebody is firing at us we have every means and every right to fire back at them," the sheriff said. "They did what they thought was appropriate at the time.” "He's lucky he's not dead."

Pre-dawn SWAT raid.
Battering ram
Shots fired at the door & lock
Flashbang

For practicing medicine without a license in a town of less than 3000.

Must have gone to the academy with Art.

Imagine what they would have done if he had given a false statement to federal investigators....

No shit. Doesn’t a judge have to sign a warrant when they do these things? Why doesn’t the fucking judge say no, you are not gonna do a pre-dawn SWAT raid, you’re gonna do a regular search in the middle of the day with regular LEOs. No pre-dawn, no battering rams, no shooting the lock, no grenades, no armored trucks.

Now where's the fun in that? Can't you see all this cool shit we got just sitting around doing nothing?

He's the mayor.  You LITERALLY have a publicly-available schedule that tells you when he's going to be leaving the house: "Public meeting notice for city council, Tuesday Feb 26 at 6:00 p.m."  You have a squad car pull him over and arrest him on his way to or from the meeting.  Easy as pie.

Instead, you attack his house with shots and explosions, and are SHOCKED that a surprised-out-of-a-dead-sleep homeowner shoots at you.  Do you even America?  We fucking CELEBRATE people who shoot at intruders.  And predawn, busting in while firing shots?  That gets your ass shot at.  That's EXACTLY how to get your ass shot at.

They shotgunned the door locks? Is this fucking Kabul? 

I don’t blame the guys playing Army. They’re living their dream. I blame the cunt who decided to send a SWAT team. I want to know who that pussy is.

You mean like the two whiteys HPD blew away a few days ago?

Wait until Art tries to pull this once Tony Buzbee is elected mayor.

So now people are supposed to know who’s breaking through thier door in the middle of the night?  Protecting your family and house isn’t attempted murder.

I suspect HPD as well as many other large metro cop squads have something to deploy from the air for such situations.

Florida, proud castle doctrine / stand your ground state.

“He’s lucky he’s not dead.”

Don’t try and reconcile the two. It’s not the citizens job to think. The friendly neighborhood Barney Fife is here to protect and serve...Flashbang and sprinkle crack.

That’s kinda my point. The story leaves out when the shots are fired and my suspension is that being it was only two the guy figured it out rather quickly.  I’m not a criminal so if you try busting into my house unannounced I’m probably getting more a few more rounds off.  Unless something incriminating comes to light he “feared for his life”. 

 

Get a good attorney.

I guess "practicing medicine without a license" is white for moving large amounts of oxycontin
