List of six finalists for Little Rock Police Chief reveals lack of interest by qualified individuals - LR Mayor's favorite is former LRPD assistant chief Crystal Young-Haskins

Asst. Chief Crystal Young-Haskins of Tacoma, WA is the LR mayor's favorite A list of candidates for the LRPD's top job was provided to us this afternoon from one of our Little Rock City Hall sources. The only surprise for us was not seeing interim LRPD chief Michael Moore on the list . As we expected. former LRPD assistant chief Crystal Young-Haskins was brought in after all of the other finalists were interviewed. In 2022, after disgraced LRPD chief Keith Humphrey resigned in May 2022 during  a criminal and internal investigation for a New Years Eve shooting incident, Young-Haskins was named the interim police chief. She quit a month later to take a position with the Tacoma, WA police department. Young-Haskins has had a tumultuous time in Tacoma. Young-Haskins filed a lawsuit in July 2026, claiming that she was overlooked for a promotion because her complaint against ex-Deputy Chief Paul Junger led to him being fired. Since Junger’s termination, Young-Haskins has been increas...

Little Rock School District revealed as one of Flock's most active users

Records obtained from the Little Rock School District under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act reveal that the District is one of Flock's most active users. Flock Safety, one of the fastest growing police surveillance companies in the United States, holds a number of contracts with school districts across the United States. https://sassisouth.org/projects/flock-safety-and-s%E2%80%A6 These contracts are primarily for the placement of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) but Flock is attempting to sell more products to districts. On August 17, 2026 we sent this AFOIA request to LRSD. The LRSD staff attorney's office sent this out to the director of Safety & Security and Computer Information Services. LRSD provided us with a 6,142 page PDF of emails in response to our request. One email from Flock to the LRSD Safety & Security Director William El-Amin (the District has Americanized the spelling of his last name) makes that crystal clear. From the records provided, ...

Pulaski County Circuit & County Clerk caught in a lie about a social media post

Yesterday evening our Russ Racop saw a post made on the Facebook page of the Pulaski County Circuit & County Clerk. He posted this comment at around 7:26 pm. About an hour ago, Racop received notice that clerk's office posted a response. The Pulaski County Circuit & County Clerk edited their post and changed the image posted, after Racop made his post. Facebook allows all to see if a post is edited and it show when they made edits. The Pulaski County Circuit & County Clerk lied about including the name of the former employee. Their post edit history reveals that they edited their post at 8:52 p.m. and added the former employee's name AFTER Racop called them out at 7:26 p.m. We published a story about that employee and her criminal actions back in 2024. Click here to read that story. Since Hollingsworth was first elected, we have received numerous tips from employees about her hiring unqualified friends and have exposed questionable actions of her and her staff. htt...

Racist LRPD cop Katelyn Marie Waters-Brewer shown lying and instigating an attack on a homeless Black man in LRPD videos

Mercenary LRPD cop Katelyn Marie Waters-Brewer of Benton, AR,  told multiple lies about a homeless Black man that led to to a brutal attack on him by LRPD cop Kyle Dishman on May 15, 2026.  Reports of this incident were circulated on social media but the name of the cops involved were not included.  We made a FOI request for a copy of the incident report and videos. We followed that request up with another for copies of personnel files. This is the narrative from the incident report Waters-Brewer filed. We reviewed all the videos provided by LRPD in response to our FOI request and found that Waters-Brewer lied multiple times about what actually occurred. We uploaded this video to YouTube and posted links on social media platforms. In the video you see LRPD cop Kyle Dishman arriving and running up to the scene and brutally punches the restrained homeless man while LRPD cop Brad Forrester is sitting on top on him in the face multiple times making an "ump, ump, ump" sound.
