Sheesh, FRiend, I thought you were asking tongue-in-cheek. Obviously I cannot give you an official answer as to what my department would do in a tragic case such as this. Most likely they would be suspended, fired, and brought up on charges.

And as I said previously, there's no need to call a lawyer before arresting someone because arrest and prosecution are different things and require different levels of evidence.

Nah, man. I wouldn't joke about something like this.

This yahoo has a history. Before joining the Punta Gorda PD, he was asked to resign from Miramar PD. Then, in October 2015 he let his K9 maul a handcuffed bicyclist for almost 2 minutes for riding at night without a headlight. Finally, he loaded live rounds into a revolver instead of blanks and fatally shot an innocent woman.

My prediction is the DA will write this off as a tragic accident, Coel will be quietly asked to resign, then will join another PD where this will start all over again.
