| KENTON TREMAR BUCKNER - LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO CALL HOME |
We will call it as it is, that is what our readers expect us to do - the last ditch effort by befouled Little Rock Police Chief Kenton Tremar Buckner is pure bullshit, a ploy to try and gain favor of city leaders ready to replace him.
Buckner's use of official LRPD letterhead for a personal statement is itself a violation of LRPD Rules & Regulations.
Citizens posted these comments on LRPD Facebook page where they had posted Buckner's letter.
We would have posted a comment as well but LRPD has blocked us in violation of our Free Speech Rights.
The week Buckner was in Charleston for a series of interviews we posted this. At 10:30 pm the evening we posted it, there were 29 active users on server registered to the city of Charleston looking at that page when we were reviewing data on Google Analytics.

Buckner has been on thin ice here for some time and several board members have told us that it might be time for him to go. Some have even told the city manger, and Buckner toady, Bruce "Home-Wrecker" Moore that he need to be fired.
There have been tense meeting and conversations between troubled city manager Bruce Moore and Buckner as pressure has been steadily poured out on Moore to get rid of Buckner.
There is speculation that Buckner has something on Moore that he uses to "blackmail" him. It might be another undisclosed nasty home-wrecking incident or one involving some other sketchy activity.
An article that appeared in yesterday's edition of Charleston's The Post and Courier that hinted that questions about Buckner's abilities were mounting and he was not going to be selected.
A savvy reader there even suggested what we and others know to be true. The agency that conducted the search for the Charleston position let Buckner know he was out of the running and suggested that he uses the same sort of public relations tactic the city of Little Rock did with the Amazon selection process - pull out when you don't stand a chance for selection and try an use it to your advantage.
Using that private headhunting agency prevents Freedom of Information inquiries as the city of Charleston is "hands off" in the recruiting process and can skirt transparency in the selection process, including giving Buckner a heads up that he was out of the running.
To make matters worse for the city, the Fraternal Order of Police, mainly composed of white officers that overwhelmingly choose to live somewhere else than the city for which they work, supports Buckner like one of those third-world children you can allegedly feed for a few dollars a month. For example, take a look at what appeared in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette yesterday.
Perhaps it is because that Buckner intends to let officers, like Gilchrest, that are on a purported "liars list" and have been relegated to positions where LRPD will not have disclose that they are Brady Officers, are to be permitted to go back to regular positions perhaps as payoff for supporting him. Why LRPD keeps such officers will be explored and revealed in an upcoming post.
Certainly the Black Police Officer Association will not let Buckner off the hook so easily if at all.
No doubt Buckner will try and punish Sgt. Davis some more for doing the right thing and speaking out against a corrupt, biased system.
If Sgt. Davis and the BPOA had not made public the complaint about the racist and subversive white police recruit, LRPD would have white-washed the whole matter and swept it under the rug.
Sgt. Davis and the BPOA should be commended for their whistle-blower activities instead of being punished for attempting to make LRPD a better less biased and honest, respectable agency. Something that can never occur under befouled Buckner's leadership.
This is an election year for city leadership and a wave of change is going to wash over the city and clean out the scum.
It's damn time.

***UPDATE 3/9/18***
A newspaper in Charleston revealed the real reason behind pulling out from the job selection process. It was due to the problems with black officers and the issues that they have raised about his failed problematic leadership.
