Police Sergeant Shot Multiple Times, Left Paralyzed And Leg Amputated. On November 11, 2016, Boise Police Sergeant Kevin Holtry's life changed forever. What began as a tactical search for a dangerous fugitive in a quiet Boise neighborhood turned into a brutal ambush that would leave Holtry shot multiple times, paralyzed from the waist down, and ultimately result in the amputation of his left leg. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The suspect, a violent parolee wanted for multiple shootings and a carjacking, had been released early from prison. After eluding officers in a stolen vehicle, he was believed to be hiding somewhere in a residential area. Sergeant Holtry, a member of the Boise Police Department's Special Operations Unit, joined the search along with fellow Sergeant Chris Davis. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms “He knew the risk,” said a department spokesperson. “But Kevin always put others before himself. That's the kind of officer he was.” As the team cleared backyards, Holtry took the lead position, a role both he and Davis understood carried the highest danger. As they entered one yard, the fugitive, armed and crouched behind trash receptacles, opened fire. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Newsbreak and Blogspot. Police Sergeant Shot Multiple Times, Left Paralyzed And Leg Amputated. Holtry was shot five times in the attack. One bullet instantly paralyzed him. Davis was also shot but survived. Officers returned fire, killing the suspect on scene. The team's K9 partner, Jardo, sustained fatal injuries in the firefight. “I was hit immediately,” Holtry later recalled in a podcast interview. “I couldn't move. I knew it was bad. I couldn't feel anything.” The attack marked a turning point in Holtry's life. After more than 16 surgeries, he remained paralyzed and lost his left leg. Despite the devastating injuries, Holtry continued to serve the Boise Police Department for several more years, becoming a symbol of resilience, service, and courage. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. In recognition of his heroism and continued dedication, Holtry was awarded the Medal of Honor, one of the department's highest honors. His journey has since become a beacon of inspiration in the law enforcement community and beyond. “Kevin exemplifies what it means to serve with honor,” said a Boise PD official. “He never gave up, not in the fight, not during recovery, and not when it came to helping others heal.” Holtry's story is featured on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast available as a free podcast on their website, available on Apple, Spotify, and most major platforms. In his episode, he shares raw details about the ambush, the intense physical and emotional recovery, and how he found purpose againthis time, through mentoring, sports, and public speaking. Police Sergeant Shot Multiple Times, Left Paralyzed And Leg Amputated. Outside of uniform, Holtry discovered a new way to find that same adrenaline rush through adaptive athletics. With support from the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), he competed in the 2019 San Diego Triathlon Challenge and participated in Nordic skiing, sledge hockey, and other sports that brought him joy and healing. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. “Sports saved me,” Holtry said. “Being active again gave me back a part of myself I thought was lost.” Holtry, who served three years in the U.S. Army and spent more than 20 years in law enforcement, mostly with Boise Police, had once left a career path in education to become an officer. Though he had a degree in English literature and a potential future in the classroom, he chose the streets instead. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. “I wanted to serve,” he told a citizen's academy class, according to a Boise PD Facebook post. “That's what I was meant to do.” Even after his injuries, that service never stopped. Holtry continued to teach self-defense classes, mentor young officers, and speak to the community about the realities and rewards of police work. His story has been shared widely on Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, and in local and national news. Police Sergeant Shot Multiple Times, Left Paralyzed And Leg Amputated. “Just someone saying, ‘We appreciate your effort' that means the world,” Holtry said in one interview. “I'm a public servant. That's what we do. If you don't find a high in that, you're not human.” Despite the physical challenges, including bullet fragments still lodged in his body and a steel rod holding his right leg together, Holtry never allowed bitterness to take root. “I don't hate what happened,” he said. “It gave me a second chance to impact lives differently.” Today, with the help of a GRIT Freedom Chair provided through a grant from CAF Idaho, Holtry explores Idaho's outdoors, still healing, still teaching, still inspiring. His message is one of resilience, purpose, and pushing through the unimaginable.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers The man you just heard is Hans Conried. Famous for both his dramatic and comedic portrayals on both radio and TV, By January of 1956 he'd been involved in radio for two decades. Here he is on the February 24th, 1956 episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. By early 1956, those still involved in dramatic radio had advanced the medium's production to a high art. Most radio drama still remaining was by then based in Hollywood, with much of the news programming based in New York. For Roberta Bailey-Goodwin, then a teenager, accompanying her father to weekly recordings was a family ritual and she got a firsthand look at the artists plying their craft. “The Todd Matter” was written by E. Jack Neuman under the pen name of John Dawson. Gloria Tierney's landlady, Ethel Stromberg, was voiced by Vivi Janiss. The surname Stromberg has multiple origins. In Swedish “strom” means river, while “berg” means mountain. In Germany it's a habitational name from places like Rhineland and means “flat mountain.” Barbara Fuller was Gloria Tierney. Frank Gerstle played Dan Mapes. Marvin Miller, famed for both announcing and acting, also played a small role in “The Todd Matter.”

An amended complaint was filed earlier this month in Cook County Circuit Court naming Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard in her individual capacity, Dolton Police Chief Lewis Lacey in his individual capacity, and Dolton Board of Fire and Police Commissioners (“BOFPC”) Board Member DeVonte Stewart in his official capacity as Defendants. The Complaint alleges falsified police sergeant tests scores, unlawful promotions, and that the BOFPC is required to have three commissioners, however, Mayor Henyard has yet to appoint any replacements for the two vacancies on the commission. The result of the two vacancies is that no business may be conducted, and no official action of the commission can happen due to lack of quorum, even though “pseudo official” action has purportedly taken place. Promotional testing for Police Sergeant was conducted, with “all promotions shall be made from the three having the highest rating” according to the Rules and Regulations of the Commission. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

Welcome back to our “Beasts” Double Bill! Last time, we watched "The Dummy" from the infamous anthology series by General Witchfinders hero Nigel Kneale. We now leave the smashed-up movie set of "The Dummy" with its snarling Y-fronts-wearing jilted actor and join Angie and Roger Truscott in their secluded Hampshire home for "During Barty's Party." This episode features the only actual 'beasts' as the main threat: in this case, large, super-evolved, intelligent rats. Elizabeth Sellars plays Angie Truscott, known for "The Mummy's Shroud," and Anthony Bate plays Roger Truscott, heavily channeling Michael Bryant's Peter Brock character from "The Stone Tape." Bate was cast as Doctor Fendehman in "Image of the Fendahl" but dropped out, with Denis Lill taking the role. Colin Bell plays Barty Wills, the local DJ hosting the titular "Barty's Party," his regular rock and roll radio show. Like the rest of the cast, Bell is only heard, not seen. He is seen, however, in "The Sea Devils" and "Invasion of the Dinosaurs," both Jon Pertwee stories. Norman Mitchell plays the Police Sergeant. Supposedly, at 18, Mitchell walked from Sheffield to London to become an actor, leading to nearly 200 film appearances, 500 radio broadcasts, and an estimated 2,000 television appearances. He developed a niche of playing policemen, appearing as such in 12 episodes of "Worzel Gummidge," "Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell" (more on this very soon), "And Now the Screaming Starts!", "Oliver!" and the first Doctor Who Christmas episode, "The Feast of Steven." John Rhys-Davies plays Peter Newell. Famous for his parts in Lord of the Rings and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Rhys-Daviesis a supporter of the British Conservative Party, Rhys-Davies was a radical leftist in the '60s, who tried to heckle a young Tory MP. But the parliamentarian "shot down the first two hecklers in such brilliant fashion that I decided I ought for once to shut up and listen". The MP was Margaret Thatcher. He is a supporter of Brexit. On 25 April 2019, he appeared as a panellist on the BBC's Question Time. His conduct on the programme towards politician Caroline Lucas was later described as "thuggish and sexist" by some viewers.

We are happy to welcome back The Children's International Rescue Foundation to the Podcast! This time we are joined by one of the co-founders of the group, Walt. He also serves at the director of operations. Walt details his journey working undercover, why relationships are so vital, some what real undercover investigations look like vs. how they may be portrayed on other media outlets. This conversation is vital as there is much confusion and misrepresentation on undercover work in general. Walt is a highly skilled investigator dedicated to combating transnational criminal organizations involved in child trafficking. His expertise encompasses investigative fieldwork, hostage rescue, fugitive apprehension, and small unit leadership. Walt has had the privilege of briefing Vice Presidents of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, as well as U.S. Ambassador Popp on behalf of NGOs fighting human trafficking in the Northern Triangle. He has also conducted extensive ground investigations in Colombia and Ecuador, collaborating with National Police agencies to infiltrate criminal networks. In 2021, Walt played a pivotal role in an award-winning Colombian human trafficking investigation.Throughout his career, Walt has held positions such as S.W.A.T Master Operator, U.S. Marshal Service Task Force Officer, Police Sergeant, and U.S. Marine Corps Platoon Sergeant. Walt emphasizes the importance of continuous training, operational planning, and international partnerships between law enforcement, financial institutions, and NGOs in combating the human trafficking crisis in Latin America. Walt's language abilities in Spanish and Portuguese, along with his cross-cultural experiences, including a two-year Christian mission in Brazil and teaching the English Connect program in Ecuador, further enrich his perspective. Above all, Walt considers his greatest success to be his enduring marriage of over 20 years and the joy of raising children with his wife.Here is the link to their website-https://www.childrensinternationalrescuefoundation.org/Here is the link to some of their recent cases-https://www.childrensinternationalrescuefoundation.org/post/2-csam-web-studios-eliminatedHere is the link to the Libertas International website- libertasfreedom.org
