NOTED ACTIVIST MAKES SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST LRPD - CHIEF BUCKNER FILPPANTLY SAYS FILE A COMPLAINT

NOTED ACTIVIST REV. BENNY JOHNSON NARROWLY ESCAPED INJURY AFTER MAKING 911 CALL

In a story that first appeared on the blog Corruption Sucks, Reverend Benny Johnson heard gunfire outside his residence on October 1, 2017 and called 911 to report it.

Rev. Johnson then called the property manger to advise her that LRPD was on it's way and heard additional gunfire.

Rev. Johnson while still on the phone went to look out the widow to see if LRPD had arrived and that's when the real ordeal began. Let's watch Rev. Johnson's detailed narrative of what happened next.

The previous incident that Rev. Johnson made reference to in the video happen just a couple of weeks ago.

LRPD officers claimed that that man "took a shooting stance" and "appeared to have a gun in his hand" according to initial reports.

Turns out that it was only a cellphone.

Now we are not saying that the man shot back in September was without some responsibility, but a thin rectangular object looks nothing like a handgun.

So you can see why Rev. Johnson had some concern. LRPD officers saw him standing in the widow and mistook his small Blackberry smartphone for a handgun being held up to his head.

REV. JOHNSON WITH HIS PHONE AS IT WAS THE NIGHT OF THE INCIDENT

It is even more problematic for LRPD when one of the officers that responded to Rev. Johnson's call was one of the same officers that thought a cellphone was a gun and fired back in September. Is it a coincidence that they mistook a cellphone for a handgun again or is it a pattern of behavior? That is something that only an external investigation can resolve.

As the story that appeared in today's edition of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette revealed, beleaguered LRPD Chief Kenton Tremar Buckner tossed the responsibility to initiate an investigation back onto Rev. Johnson instead of taking a proactive step and ordering one himself.

CHIEF KENTON TREMAR BUCKNER

************
There is an interesting take on this as alluded to in the Corruption Sucks post. Is there an effort to retaliate against those who voice concerns about LPRD and the system's failure to take action?

A shocking story we will have posted in the coming days seems to indicate that there is something to what Corruption Sucks blog is saying.

Stay tuned.
