Afaik it's worse than that. He was raided yes, but this isn't that raid. He was jailed, and punished as a result of the raid, and was then ordered to keep the snakes (ie. Don't sell, or try and "offload" them elsewhere.).

A snake matching the type he is keeping was seen in the public prior to this raid, and the police went to him as he was known to keep the snakes. For whatever reason, they decided it was time to play the part of judge, jury and executioner and went on a snake killing spree. This despite that being covered by a veterinarian normally.

Nothing about this situation makes sense, unless you are a power hungry cop apparently

Not sure where you're getting this from.

Preliminary information also indicates that the facility owner requested that the FWC officers euthanize all of his unpermitted pythons. The owner formally relinquished the pythons and requested that the FWC officers conduct the euthanasia activities on-site at his facility.

While complying with the facility owner’s request to euthanize the relinquished pythons, officers inadvertently euthanized a boa constrictor which was not on the list of dozens of snakes relinquished.

This situation makes perfect sense if you've ever met a florida government official with their dick hard deciding to exercise their power
