    Can Anyone Spot The Fail In This?

    FLORIDA CITY, Fla. -- Florida City’s police chief is facing scrutiny for inadvertently leaving his loaded service revolver in a Miami-Dade County park.

    “No one got hurt. That's the most important thing,” said Chief Pedro Taylor.

    Taylor admits not knowing his gun was missing until he was notified by Miami-Dade police.


    A 12-year-old boy found the .40-caliber Glock revolver in the grass near the playground at Colonial Drive Park just before noon last Thursday. He turned it in to the park management, which then called Miami-Dade police. The serial number traced back to the Florida City Police Department, and high-ranking officers on duty there identified it as the chief’s service revolver.

    Taylor said he was at the park to exercise before dawn on Thursday. He said the gun fell out of his bag as he collected his items and left.

    But the report filed by Miami-Dade detectives tells a different version of the story. According to that report, Taylor said he’d “placed the gun by the play area while he worked out and forgot it was there”.

    The chief said he has been forthcoming with his superiors.

    “I've talked to people in power. I've done what's right,” Taylor said.

    Florida City Mayor Otis Wallace confirmed there's an internal investigation into the incident to corroborate the chief’s account.

    “It’s not a good thing,” said Wallace. “It’s certainly human -- more in a realm of a mistake rather than some conscious bad act.”

    Which fail? The "trained" LEO losing his sidearm near a playground? The "glock revolver"? Or perhaps the fact that according to the report, he carries it in his "pack".

    You have to be more specific on what level of fail you want pointed out.

    All police carry "service revolvers". I've seen the phrase "semi-automatic service revolver" in edited, published stories.

    Journalists seem to find comfort in cops carrying "revolvers", even if they use "18 bullet clips". It would be fun to get a professional journalist to describe a "revolver", a "high-powered rifle", and "assault weapon" without looking the terms up.

    No excuse for this what so ever, his side arm is first and for most and he should be disciplined! If it happens again, he should be fired.
