<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThis is the story of Quinn McCarthy, who was a Captain in the Tucson Police Department and has served faithfully in that department since May, 1994. Prior to that, he was in the active Army and the Army Reserves, and for some reason, he didn’t feel that he had done enough in the military, so he needed to enhance his career in conversations.<\/p>\n
He told his brother officers that he had served in Desert Storm, that he had been shot twice in the chest by an AK47 during the conflict, that he made the longest tank kill with his own tank. He had an expended tank round in his office that he told everyone was the first round that he had fired in the war – and it was the first round of the war. McCarthy told folks that he had a “handful of Bronze Star Medals” – because they were “handing them out like candy” after Desert Storm. There were other stories about how he’d been “gassed by Saddam Hussein” and injuries he had suffered as a result of combat against Iraq.<\/p>\n
An internal investigation by the Tucson PD revealed that McCarthy had served on active duty from 1984 – 1988, with a tour of Korea, and in the Reserves until 1997. He was assigned to the 8th Battalion, 40th Armor Reserve unit during Desert Storm, and the unit hadn’t deployed to Desert Storm, so it’s a pretty good guess that he didn’t deploy. So, here’s his FOIA;<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nFolks tell me that the Tucson PD has a good record among the veterans who they hire, and for that reason, the investigator and the chief recommended that they should terminate McCarthy, but before they could, he retired. Who can trust someone like that anyway? Apparently, he used his phony stories to win arguments in regards to police training, so you know his expertise was based on being a staff sergeant in a tank unit, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but how much does what tankers do relate to police duties? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
