LRPD Undercover cop Mark Allen Ison  LRPD trys to keep their undercover cops a secret, but they have a hard time since they are really not undercover cops. When I was in junior high,  I had a teacher who's husband was a Texas Ranger. One day while in her class, we noticed that she was looking at a rough looking man in Hell's Angel looking biker attire in the parking lot outside our classroom. She rushed out of the classroom and ran up to the man and hugged and kissed him. My classmates and I were startled and wondered what was going on. Our teacher and that man came back into the classroom and she introduced us to her Texas Ranger husband that had been on an undercover assignment for the last several months. She had not talked with him or seen him while he was on assigment as an undercover cop. The thirty-six or so undercover cops at LRPD go home each night in a city issued ride to their homes and families mostly outside the safe city of Little Rock. They met other LRPD cops, ...

In 2023 and 2024 we made Freedom of Information requests for records regarding the Little Rock mayor's State of the City address prior to it being made. The city ignored thoses requests. We made a similar FOI request this year on February 6th. The mayor acknowledged receipt of the request, but failed to respond with any records.   A few days later we made another FOI request as a comment on a post the city made on the social medial platform formerly know as Twitter.  This was not the first time we have made a FOI request to the city in a comment to one of their social media posts. They also provided records back then. We were the first ones to make a FOI request to a public agency in Arkansas in that manner. Instead of ignoring us this time (a threat of seeking injunctive relief in the courts helped), they actually provided the records we are sharing with you today as an exclusive preview. This is the outline of the speech that Feckless Frank will deliver. This is the site wa...

      When we started the Snarky Media Group back in 2014 and debuted our Bad City of Little Rock Blog , and our Bad Government in Arkansas Blog , we received reports that the city attorney was using racial slurs at LRPD recruit training. Sources would not go on the record and give statements fearing retaliation and loss of employment. We filed the emails and notes we had received in our KlanWatch files and moved on. In February of 2018, when Mark Stodola was mayor, we initated action to have a traitor statue removed from city of Little Rock owned property in McArthur Park. The idea to remove that statute was born in 2017 when Mayor Stododla  was caught telling a lie in a news report about traitor statues being removed from municipal owned property across the United States and he told the reporter we had none in Little Rock. It was our organization that took him to task and called out his lie. You can read our story about that by clicking here . In February of 2018...

Raymond Mural Koonce - LRPD undercover cop and Kansas City Chiefs fan It's impossible for LRPD to keep it a secret that Raymond Mural Koonce is one of their so called undercover cops. Koonce makes frequent appearance before the ABC Board to testify about a violation or make comments on a permit application. We took a photo of him there several years ago. When LRPD makes a post on Facebook about a Little Rock business that has applied to the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control agency ("ABC") for a permit to sell alcoholic beverages, they list his work phone number on each post.  There is no ABC requirement that LRPD make any public notice at all, nor is there a state law that requires LRPD to make a notice to the public. In fact, the ABC and state law requires the business to make a public notice.  Shame on LRPD for expressing bias towards a legally operating business in the city of Little Rock by urging the public to object to the application. Sales tax revenue is used...
