The mayor made sure to turn the 65 pounds of cocaine over to the district attorney. The DA got the 58 pounds of cocaine to the Tampa police. The Tampa police made sure the 41 pounds of cocaine made it to the DEA, and the DEA publicized the discovery and seizure of the 33 pounds of cocaine.

I don’t know why, I have absolutely zero against Mayor Castor. I don’t even really know much about her or her politics.

But… Her being a former police chief and now 2 time mayor of Tampa for some reason part of my brain is telling me “prearranged publicity stunt.”

Why else disclose that she’s the one who found the dope? And, while it’s not unheard of to find cocaine floating around the ocean down here, that’s a LOT of cocaine. Enough for a big fat nationwide headline, especially if you’re mayor of Tampa.

So maybe it is a coincidence that she found it and she did not, in fact, trade a favor to get some white girl lost from a drug bust, but I have never been a fan of coincidence.

Meanwhile, some dolphins in the Atlantic had a very boring Saturday night.

Mayor’s about to get a lot of shit done.

Haha sure thing. ‘Uh, I “found” it officer’
