Bewley Family: True Color of Corruption in LRPD
We have all read stories, seen the movies, and oddly expect that the stuff that we see on the screen, predictably happen that way in real life.
Exposure is Transparency.
Ryan Bewley, the son of Assistant Chief Wayne Bewley, and the apple of his eye, as many knew him to be, is corrupt and inept. The same people who saw Ryan as the “prodigal son,” also observed his many mishaps in the Patrol Division.
Ryan was not a good patrol officer.
He stumbled through Field Training, but none dared to “fail” him or give him remarks which would reflect badly on the reputation of the already failed Chief. Ryan was book smart, but not acclimated to the street, and it did not serve him well when communicating with people in the Community.
Badge Buddies.
Ryan joined Violent Criminal Apprehension Team (VCAT) in approximately 2016, along with Courtney Johnson, another LRPD Officer. Ryan and Courtney met each other early in their careers, developed a bond, and under the radar attempted to hide their infatuation for each other.

Courtney was more reserved, stayed quiet, surveilled, and intelligent from her days on Patrol. But, Courtney was very lazy, never took her calls, and struggled to maintain actual relationships with colleagues.
The Glow-Up.
Ryan continued his erratic behavior until 2018. After only two years as an officer, he applied for the Gun Crimes spot within Special Investigations. Ryan was not a three year officer as outlined in the memorandum as required by most LRPD Officers. Ryan interviewed along with approximately eight other very qualified candidates. These candidates were more streetwise, experienced, and knew the protocols of what it required to do such an important and specific job protecting the Community. These Officers were cast aside, sadly and expectedly, and Ryan Bewley was chosen for Detective despite the violation of almost EVERY job requirement outlined in the memorandum.
Shortly thereafter, Courtney Johnson Interviewed for Special Investigations. Ryan and Courtney attempted to hide their relationship, despite it being vastly obvious. Courtney was “chosen” by her predecessors, and one can safely deduce nepotism was involved. Courtney admittedly denied a relationship with Ryan, and therefore was allowed into SID.
The Twist.

Sarah then moved onto the next victim, known homophobic cop, Bryan Davenport of the LRPD. Sarah, a consummate “badge bunny” by this time, began seeing Bryan, a fellow member of the VCAT team.

All of this is to say, in addition to the clearly unqualified detectives and rampant nepotism in VCAT, it seems that passing women around is an important objective for the men/women of the VCAT Team.
Trouble in Paradise.
Sarah and Bryan eventually got married in secret, and it was later blatantly obvious the relationship would not work out; Bryan with his homophobic rants, Sarah with her blatant badge bunny tendencies.
Ryan therefore moved forward into his “career” by from what all of Patrol report. His supervisors were well aware of his relationship (shared) with Ms. Johnson, though they continued to deny it. Ryan was allotted to do whatever he wanted, only because his “daddy” would ensure nothing would happen to him. The pieces become clear, when you know who is in the front office.
But Wait, There’s More...
Ryan and Courtney eventually got married after secretly dating for well over a year or more.
Ryan, along with Courtney, then tested to become Supervisors with the Little Rock Police Department. Both lacking the experience of the street, both lacking the moral fortitude to even tell the truth, will now be put in the position to judge others for the same behaviors if given the chance. Curiously, they tested the highest out of almost all other more qualified and experienced officers.
Odd.
We now know scores can be edited, changed, challenged, and not actually reflect the truth.
Were Ryan and Courtney’s scores manipulated?
True Grit.
We as men and women are tied to this thing called ethical fortitude; we owe it to our minds, body, and souls. We owe it to our name, because in the end we only have our Integrity. I challenge you to find a man, woman, or child that holds the same set of values. We train our minds to accept it, but some of us do not.
We are the resistance. We shall outwit and we shall show the public the TRANSPARENCY that is lacking in the morally bankrupt police department. This Department is full of liars, cheats, drunks, woman abusers, false witnesses, and prostitutes.
To those that stand for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness for ALL People, we will shine light and transparency on those who portend to lead us. Police are supposed to be held to a higher standard, so why don’t we hold these apostates for hire accountable, like those in the corrupt VCAT Division, and those engaging in gross and overt nepotism?
When you pay for a service, and that service becomes horrid, don’t you ask for your money back?
Without holding these corrupt individuals accountable, we are willing to take a proverbial slap in the face from the White “Klan Kommonly Known” as the Little Rock Fraternal Order of Police. Ask yourselves, who is really running the show?
The good women and men in Blue are few and far between. But we as a City, we as a People, we deserve better.
Chief Keef won’t stand up for the people, and along with The Mayor, they both have their own losses of questionable ethical proportion. The Chief, zipping up his pants, can barely manage his own morality, much less, preach to his Staff about Values and Ethics. The Mayor, consulting his private attorney he’s paying under the table, uses golf courses to launder dirty money into his private bank accounts. His hands aren’t clean either.
Awaken. Then Act.

LRPD desperate to improve image makes a staged social media post trying to pass off a convicted felony as a participant in the OK Program
Russ Racop - January 24, 2021
On or about November 17, 2020 LRPD posted this on their Facebook and Twitter feeds.
The problem with this post about Owen having been in the OK Program is that he never was and is in fact a convicted felon.
The man pictured in the fake post is Owen Chandler Blake, a twenty-three year old man that was never a participant in the OK Program according to sources in the OK Program of Little Rock.
Blake was arrested and charged with residential burglary (felony) and criminal mischief back in September 2019.
Blake accepted a negotiated guilty plea and was placed on probation.
Blake was given the mask by a former LRPD officer that was involved in the OK Program. Blake has a younger brother that did participate in the program and that is his only connection to it.
Having or wearing an OK Program mask does not signify involvement with the program.
We attempted to find out how LRPD came in possession of the photos or who removed it but the city and LRPD ignored our requests for records.
LRPD frequently makes copaganda posts like this.
Copaganda typically encompasses things like fictionalized, positive TV depictions of police officers,
heartfelt social media posts made by police departments, and videos of
cops kneeling with anti-police brutality protestors; it is all the media
made in an effort to show police as being uncomplicatedly friendly,
heroic, and good. But these one-dimensional displays actually do harm by
presenting cops as being solely friends
and allies to the public at-large, rather than offering a truthful
depiction of the deeply violent and racist nature of police work in
America.
We also filed a complaint in the event a LRPD cop was involved as their own policies forbid them hanging out with felons.
LRPD often refuses to provide records which results in our filing a AFOIA Denial of Rights lawsuit and having a judge order them to turn over the records.
We have several of these lawsuits going on now with more to follow as soon as the courts open back up.
