Five plaintiffs accuse sheriff, others of retaliation for bringing forth evidence of wrongdoing
Let’s be civil.
The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail webmaster [at] flatheadbeacon.com.

The views expressed in the comments section do not reflect those of the Beacon.

Nice photo!!  Look like a bunch of gumbies.  What is the photo for anyway, got a book deal, a
movie?  Try one with all your shirts tucked in for the next beacon article.  Seriously, why do
we need to keep hearing about this?
Didn’t really want to file suit eh?  Then why seek monetary damages?  Why not just have a jury
burn those guys down and call it a day?  Cause they want the payoff, I think.  Probably what
it’s been about all along.  Disgruntled emplyees and an election loser.
You go Myers, can’t wait to hear the results of this one.

A corrupt bunch of law enforcement jerks, and you don’t want to hear about it?? I do. Thank

Your are off base here Jimbo. There is too much here to sweep under the rug. An election looser
does make the man an undesireable. Voters often base their vote on a common name. You’d be
amazed at how many people here don’t know the names of the various officers. They only want the
big bucks? Well if they were unjustly demoted or suspended then it seems they should be
compensated. It’s obvious which side you are on here. Makes me wonder who you really are!

I have no dog in this fight.  Didn’t know I had to pick a side.  I live in Flathead County and
won’t lose a minutes sleep over this.  Tired of reading about it really.  And now I know we will
get to hear some more.  Yayyyy!!!  Just call it like I see it.  How naive are you?  Everyone
wants a payoff, are you kidding me?  They are doing this for the good citizens of Lake
County…......  but we are gonna need money to clear our good name…... and make the county
safe and non-corrupt again.  Laffin.

Probably be a counter suit too, no?

Still love the pic.

Jimbo…when you post two different comments about a story, and the theme of those comments is “I’m tired of
hearing about this” it suggests the exact opposite.  This is, in fact, an important story and investigation.  Anytime the
integrity of public trust positions have been (allegedly) compromised it is critical for a full investigation to confirm or
deny those accusations.

@ jimbo,- is someone forcing you to read their story ?. Or is it too hard to just skip over that
story.

With half the law enforcement suing the other half, who’s minding the store on behalf of the
citizens?  I’m wondering if we are all now at more risk than we were before this was brought into the
open.  The corruption in Lake County has been a subject of private conversations for years.  By the
time this is over, if ever, we’d be better off if we’d wipe the slate clean and start over with a whole
different group.  Who can you trust?  I don’t trust any of them.
