LRPD drops quarterly community meetings and will only meet with citizens twice a year MAKING LITTLE ROCK ACCOUNTABLE AGAIN LRPD "Chief Keef" Humphrey In a shocking and disturbing move, the Little Rock Police Department moves towards less transparency and interaction with citizens by announcing it drops quarterly meetings in favor in semiannual ones. News of this prompted one citizen to contact her city board representative and express grave concerns. The first homicide of 2020 occurred in West Little Rock on January 6th (Ward 6) as did a double shooting on January 7th (Ward 5).

Jonathan Walker, a LRPD Officer suspended for domestic violence, is outed as a stalker MAKING LITTLE ROCK ACCOUNTABLE AGAIN   Where do you go for help when the people who are meant to keep you safe are the real danger? Our last post  was about two LRPD officers recently involved in domestic violence incidents. One of those domestic abusers was Johnathan Walker. We were contacted by a female that was stalked by Walker after he responded to a call to her residence when a now former boyfriend abused her. She later received a message from him on Instagram from him. Walker claimed they "matched" on a dating site. We asked for a copy of the MVR footage from the incident.  LRPD responded that it was no longer available. That's a shame as cops often forget that they are being recorded and make some interesting comments. Perhaps Walker made comments to other officers about the female he subsequently stalked.  We will never kn
