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.
