NEW: Little Rock female officer instigates fight with a suspect then watches her partner throw down
On May 15, Little Rock police were called to a Sunoco after Clifton Shelton, 26, allegedly tried to take a Black and Mild. An off-duty deputy bought him the cigar.
Minutes later an older man said he’d been hit nearby by someone in a red hockey jersey and a hat with flaps, matching Shelton’s description.
Officer Katelyn Brewer caught up and asked if he had “a problem with white people,” then whether he wanted to fight, saying she had the “right people” for him.
Another LRPD officer arrived and they chased Shelton into a yard, where a brawl broke out.
Shelton has since pled not guilty to attempted disarming of an officer, battery, resisting, and fleeing.
Brewer kept her nails clean and now the force is under review.
A man is driving home, casually talking to his wife, the conversation completely ordinary. Then, in a split second, everything changes, a crash out of nowhere. The car jolts violently, airbags explode around him, noise and dust filling the cabin as reality hits all at once. Situations like this are sobering. One second you’re in routine mode, the next your life is shaken, literally. It’s a powerful reminder to stay present, drive carefully, and never take “just another drive” for granted.
How quickly do we forget how fragile every normal moment really is?
