Complete homicide count so far for Little Rock in 2019

The listing highlighted are homicides committed by LRPD officers

LRPD Officer Tyrus Harris crashes his patrol vehicle into Rx Catering on Capitol Avenue

LRPD Officer Tyrus DeShun Harris



According to the accident report (#2019-107737) Harris was driving south on Chester Street, in the wrong lane of traffic, when he rammed into a black Lexus driven by Ann McNulty Bordueax of Little Rock.

After ramming Bordeaux's vehicle, Harris crashed into RX Catering causing several thousands of dollars of damage to it.

We were the only news organization to obtained the security camera footage from Rx Catering that recorded the accident. In fact we provided it to two television stations that requested it after we posted our report on YouTube.





Here is our exclusive coverage of the incident.



We have requested the MVR footage from officer Harris' vehicle and will post it as an update as soon as we receive it.

Where do LRPD take-home vehicles go? - Episode 52 - Sgt. Lea Dawn Folsom

Sgt. Lela Dawn Folsom drives an unmarked vehicle home




In 2018 we spent $1,032.79 on fuel for Folsom's take-home vehicle.



In 2017we spent $958.93 on fuel for Folsom's take-home vehicle.





LRPD and the city of Little Rock refused to provide us information regarding the city where the take-home cars go. So much for being transparent and open.

They provided it last year and you can read our post about that by clicking here.
Since they refuse to provide the information (the take home city is what we requested), we will post where these vehicles are actually going (their address which was not requested and is exempt under the AFOIA) and how much we pay for the fuel to provide transportation for these officers to drive to and from their homes each day.

More than half of all LRPD officers refuse to live in the city of Little Rock and be a true part of our community. Those are mercenary officers.



  
Many LRPD officers that have take-home vehicles use them to drive to and from off-duty jobs where they moonlight at security for merchants and direct traffic at churches on Sundays.

We believe this violates certain state laws and will be filing complaints with the Arkansas Ethics Commission concerning this illegal activity.


All the information used in this post is public information, readily available from the Internet or from a Freedom of Information Request.   We used the interwebs in this instance.

 ###

According to information provided by LRPD eairler this month, Folsom is or was on extended leave. 


Folsom filed a lawsuit against some other LRPD officers back in 2013. It was dismissed a little over a year later due to no activity.

LRPD Liars List - special preview



For sometime now we have been collecting records on Little Rock Police officers that have been found in internal investigations to have falsified records, made willful misrepresentations, and lied (they use the term untruthfulness).
Experts say one of the concerns about police officers who tell even the smallest of lies is that their false statements can be used to discredit their testimony in unrelated court cases. While the badge brings a certain amount of automatic credibility with jurors, it can be easily tarnished.

The persistence of lying by the police has inevitably become a contributing factor to wrongful convictions, in Little Rock and beyond. The New York Times wrote: “Police lying raises the likelihood that the innocent end up in jail – and that as juries and judges come to regard the police as less credible, or as cases are dismissed when the lies are discovered, the guilty will go free.”

Police departments have been rewarded in recent years for the sheer numbers of stops, searches and arrests. In the war on drugs, federal grant programs have encouraged state and local law enforcement agencies to boost drug arrests in order to compete for millions of dollars in funding. Agencies receive cash rewards for arresting high numbers of people for drug offenses, no matter how minor the offenses or how weak the evidence. Law enforcement has increasingly become a numbers game. And as it has, police officers tendency to regard procedural rules as optional and to lie and distort the facts has grown as well. Numerous scandals involving police officers lying or planting drugs — in Tulia, TX and Oakland, CA, for example — have been linked to federally funded drug task forces eager to keep the cash rolling in.

We have been amassing the internal investigation files of the lying officers and compiling the records into a useful database that can be accessed by the public and attorneys.  

We still have a way to go before the page goes live,  but this is a preview of the LRPD officers that have issues with credibility and honesty. 

We believe the information must be made public as many of these officers make arrests and testify in legal proceedings and being on this list will end their ability to do just that. Getting them off the public payroll is another problem altogether.

The Civil Service Commission reinstated him (a reason to form a real Citizens Review Board). He is now at the training academy passing on his bad behaviors to recruits.

We have some other undercover officers that will be included in our final list as well as some officers that while not cited, have clearly lied in the course of their employment with LRPD.

Our publisher and two associates, Chief Ean Lee Bordeaux (Activist and publisher of  Corruption Sucks Blog) and Robert Webb (Retired Activist and co-host of Black Focus Radio on Joynetradio.com), had a meeting last week with LRPD Chief Humphrey and his #1 - Assistant Chief Bewley (it lasted almost 3 hours). Among topics discussed was this list.

Humphrey stated that he had no use for liars and had fired at least two since he took over.

Stay tuned.
