| CITIZENS WONDER ABOUT THE AGED DIRECTOR'S MENTAL FACULTIES |
At the November 13th agenda meeting, at-large director Kumpuris bitched and moaned about an article that appeared in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on November 11, 2018.
Kumpuris incorrectly stated that the article was about a
rise in drive-by shooting in 2018, when in fact as you can see by the attached
copy of the article it clearly stated that it was about 2017.

Kumpuris futher stated at least two businesses were not coming
to the city based on that article, so he says the Chamber of Commerce told him.
We wonder how many others will decide to not consider our city with the five homicides that occurred over the weekend.
The data in the article is accurate and facts are
facts.
Police Department data indicate that about 150 drive-by shootings are reported in Little Rock each year but that there were 239 drive-by shootings in 2017 alone.

The Arkansas
Democrat-Gazette reported that there have been more than 1,200 drive-by
shootings in Arkansas' largest city since 2011 and almost 147 through
Oct. 16, 2018.
The Little Rock Police Department says apartment
complexes often have a concentration of drive-by shootings. Of the 12
addresses where drive-by shootings occurred more than four times since
2011, 10 were apartment complexes and two were houses.
Just ask all the LRPD officers about these facts Director Kumpuris disputes. More than half of all LRPD officers that refuse to live in the city state crime and schools are the main reasons.Look at the numbers for yourself:
Apparently Kumpuris is experiencing problems with reading
comprehension and he should consider stepping down before he further
embarrasses himself and the city.
Those illegal no-knock warrants that the Washington Post
and others have exposed along with 40 other ones that did not result in an
arrest or charges (this information has not been revealed to the media yet)
have done more damage to the sullied reputation of the city than anything else
and the board refuses to talk about them.
