And why should I care?
Wilson is the cop who shot
unarmed teenager Michael Brown to death.
If that’s not bad enough, there are people sending him money – bigtime!
A fundraising platform called GoFundMe has already raised nearly A HALF MILLION DOLLARS as a reward for killing a black kid
This kind of stuff has to stop!.
The LA times reported this here: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ferguson-fundraisers-20140901-story.html#page=1
There’s a site organizing against this atrocity http://act.colorofchange.org/go/3841?t=7&akid=3616.673158.5On9fi
This is why...
For the second time in a month, GoFundMe is facing criticism over a fundraising campaign collecting money for a controversial police officer, but this time the results are very different.
The laissez-faire crowdfunding site, which allows people to solicit donations for almost any reason, has put the brakes on a campaign seeking funds for Daniel Ken Holtzclaw, an Oklahoma City police officer accused of sexually assaulting six women while on duty.
The decision contrasts GoFundMe’s handling of two campaigns raising money for Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who shot and killed Mike Brown last month. Despite intense criticism and boycott threats from Mike Brown supporters who accused GoFundMe of “collecting reward money for a lynching,” GoFundMe remained resolute in its assertion that pro-Wilson fundraising efforts did not violate its terms. The site even went on a media offensive of sorts, posting a detailed list regarding the Wilson campaigns in an attempt to “reduce the continued spread of misinformation.”
