Preliminary data indicates Black LRPD cops receive twice the suspension time than do their white counterparts for similar violations

Ean Lee Bordeaux - March 23, 2021

Preliminary data reveals that at least since 2008, Black LRPD cops are receiving almost TWICE the suspension time than white LRPD cops are receiving for similar violations.

There are currently 540 LRPD officers*.

BLACK LRPD COPS:

✦ 180 Little Rock Police officers are black, serving a total of 4,036 hrs of suspension since 2008.

✦ 22.42 hrs of suspension per black officer since 2008.

✦ Almost 13.5 hrs of suspension per every 100 black officers since 2008.

✦ Out of 540 total cops, Black cops accounted for 13.8 hours of suspension per 100 cops since 2008. Black cops account for nearly half the total of white cops employed by the city of Little Rock.

WHITE LRPD COPS:

✦ 337 Little Rock Police officers are white, serving a total of 4551.67 hrs. of suspension since 2008.

✦ 13.5 hrs of suspension per white officer since 2008.

✦ Almost 7.5 hrs of suspension per every 100 white officers since 2008.

✦ Out of 540 total cops, white cops accounted for 11.86 hours of suspension per 100 cops since 2008. White cops account for nearly double the total of Black cops employed by the city of Little Rock.

This is an ongoing investigation, check back for updates...

* Almost 70% of all LRPD cops lives outside of the city limits of Little Rock.

Around 80% of all white LRPD cops refuse to live in the city of Little Rock. According to the Little Rock Fraternal Order of Police because of crime and schools.

This makes LRPD a mercenary police department.

***UPDATE***

Here is a document from LRPD that backs up our claims about disparity in suspensions for similar infractions of policy/procedure.

LRSD investigation file of Kendahl Davenport's entanglement with student leaves more questions than answers

An "unprofessional" relationship between a Parkview student, Justin Lanier and a teacher Kendahl Davenport was the talk of the town this week ________ We were contacted by a LRSD employee/whistleblower over the weekend and broke this story on April 13, 2026 at 7:43 a.m. Other media outlets saw our post and scrambled to catch up. Our post about this on social media and other news outlet regurgitating it sent LRSD into a tailspin and the superintendent issued a statement. LRSD attempted to spin the story with little success. We submitted AFOIA requests to LRSD for copies of personnel files and records regarding applicants for the position that Davenport was hired to fill. Other news outlets continued to post stories.
