Missoula PD got a good one..
What a weird fucking thing to say about someone as a kid on an internet forum.Good for him! Coached him in little league when he was 12. Didn't think he would see 16. Fortunately his late mother made him into the man he is today.
He'll see and experience some unbelievable shit during his time. Such is the lot of a Law Enforcement Officer.Hopefully he’s not married and doesn’t have kiddos. It’s a life of disappointment and broken promises for family members, none of which are the desire or intent of the individual in uniform. The end result, however, is the same. I truly wish him the best and above all to go home safe everyday. Welcome to the watch kid.
lol. Fucking what???? This is wild to say about a young guy going into law enforcement.Hopefully he’s not married and doesn’t have kiddos. It’s a life of disappointment and broken promises for family members, none of which are the desire or intent of the individual in uniform. The end result, however, is the same.

There are some positives to being a police officer for someone with a family. There is a stable income, excellent benefits such as health insurance/pension, long term job security and often an opportunity to retire relatively young after 20-25 years.Hopefully he’s not married and doesn’t have kiddos.

Were you there for the infamous Sheehy gun violence incident?I worked in that career for 44 summers as a LE ranger in Glacier. Granted, our visitors were generally harmless family vacationers, but bad guys go there too. We dealt with lots of 10-99's, folks who had felony warrants for their arrest with extensive criminal backgrounds. But we had lots of fun too. LE has many rewards, and it takes the right kind of person, like Janacaro, who will extract plenty of gratification from the career. I wish him well! He has "The Right Stuff".
I’d agree with that. Especially the job security, there’s a never ending supply of job security.There are some positives to being a police officer for someone with a family.

Retired by then. Old friend was still there when it happened. He interviewed Sheehy in the hospital and the admitting doctors in the ER. Clearly it was an accidentally inflicted wound and not service related as he claimed. Yes, the bullet in his arm happened in Glacier. There was not any "violence", just clumsy weapons handling. Form you own conclusions.Were you there for the infamous Sheehy gun violence incident?
My conclusion would be he's a liar but I didn't need your story to deduce that. The fact that he's a politician told me all i needed to know.Retired by then.

Oh BS. No officer ever saw the wound. It was already fixed and bandaged up by the time officer(s) got the hospital. You and your buddies are liars.Retired by then.

My conclusion is that Volvo and his buddies are the liars. I did my research at the time of the incident. Happy to take all of you on over this.My conclusion would be he's a liar but I didn't need your story to deduce that. The fact that he's a politician told me all i needed to know.
Thats nice if gemini to say those things, doesn't change the fact all politicians are liars.My conclusion is that Volvo and his buddies are the liars. I did my research at the time of the incident. Happy to take all of you on over this.
"The situation surrounding Tim Sheehy's wound in Glacier National Park has been the subject of significant public debate, primarily because of conflicting accounts between Sheehy and the responding Law Enforcement Ranger.
According to National Park Service records and interviews:
The Ranger's Account
- Kim Peach, the retired ranger who investigated the 2015 incident, stated he met Sheehy at a hospital in Kalispell rather than at the park itself.
- Peach reported seeing Sheehy with a bandage on his arm.
- In his official 2015 report, Peach noted that the weapon discharge resulted in Sheehy sustaining a gunshot wound to his right forearm.
- Peach recently clarified that he did not physically examine the wound under the bandage (as he is not a medical professional), but he did examine Sheehy's firearm in the hospital parking lot, finding five live rounds and one spent casing.
The Conflict
The core of the controversy lies in whether the wound was "fresh" that day:
- 2015 Account: At the time, Sheehy told the ranger and hospital staff that his Colt .45 had fallen and discharged, hitting his arm. He paid a $525 fine for illegally discharging a firearm in a national park.
- Current Account: Sheehy now claims he lied to the ranger in 2015 to protect his former unit. He asserts that the bullet in his arm was actually a 2012 combat wound from Afghanistan (potentially from friendly fire) that he had never reported. He claims he went to the hospital in 2015 because he fell on a hike and feared the old bullet had been dislodged.
Summary of Witnesses
While Ranger Peach saw the bandaged arm and the discharged weapon, he did not witness the actual shooting or the bare wound. The medical staff at the Kalispell emergency room would have seen the wound, but those medical records have not been publicly released.
The Park Service's formal position remains based on the 2015 report, which classifies the incident as an accidental discharge resulting in a fresh injury."
