$10 Michael Brown 6 mins ago This officer shot a unarmed man six times and you are supporting this? How can this be justified, I would really like to know? The information provided at present this officer should be facing manslaughter charges instead of support by anonymous supporters who are afraid to reveal there identities because they know they are some RACIST clowns. Be open with your racism, I am a black male and would respect you more if you showed your true colors so I don't have to play games to find out what you are about. The guy was unarmed and he shot him six times with his hands raised in the air, I come from a family of law enforcement and this is not justifiable nor anything that I can support. I don't know officer Darren Wilson so I can't say he is a racist, I believe he lacked the proper trainging to be patroling a predominately black area and his first line of defense was to use his gun, because he lacked the proper training skills and methods to patrol that district properly. I am glad this was not a family member of mine because I would use every resource available to me and make it a life commitment to haunt the wilson family for as long as I lived. So you red-neck, supports release your inner KKK
So before any investigation is complete, you're cool with this shooting as is? Now you're taking the word of the very media you say you don't trust. I wonder if you would do that if it was a white guy who was shot by a black officer.
Really this whole thing has spun completely sideways and people are losing their minds on this. LET THE INVESTIGATION go, it will work.
Either the shooting was justified, or it wasn't; it's just as simple as that. All the hubub didn't change the Rodney King verdict, it didn't change the OJ verdict, it didn't change the Zimmerman verdict...in every case, the EVIDENCE prevailed.
I can't think of many things that are a bigger waste of time than speculating on this incident BEFORE the completion of the investigation.

At this point, if it's not MSM and it's not .gov, it's far more trustworthy.
If it were a black cop and a white dead guy, none of us would ever know about it (hint: there was just one in SLC).

The court system worked in the OJ case...Law Enforcement is what failed. So yes, the EVIDENCE did prevail (or in that particular the lack of, or presence of very bad evidence).
No, it didn't. You obviously don't have a clue about that case. The evidence was overwhelming. The DAs blew the case by turning into a circus in order to make themselves famous and set their careers.
At this point, if it's not MSM and it's not .gov, it's far more trustworthy.
If it were a black cop and a white dead guy, none of us would ever know about it (hint: there was just one in SLC).
Valid point, but it still doesn't justify all the hubub. If the blacks want to fly of the handle and rush to judgment; let them...it's a free country.
But look at all the whites who are flying off the handle based on hearsay evidence (at best, just plain BS at worst) who are exonerating the cop.
NEITHER side has any REAL EVIDENCE, as in; something that would hold up in court.
Meanwhile the grown ups are sitting back laughing at all the black and white people jumping up and down making complete idiots of themselves.
Yep, we're all watching those white folks looting and burning and pillaging; flying right off the handle by flying in their "civil rights leaders", calling for special investigations, and demanding "justice". Silly white folks...

What investigation? Reports are it's going to a Grand Jury as early as tomorrow, despite no toxicology report and without locating and interviewing all witnesses. We know the cop was attacked in his car and a shot was fired inside his vehicle. We know he has an orbital skull fracture. We know that the wounds on the dead guy are consistent with the officer's story and inconsistent with the accomplices story. We know this was 10 minutes after the two "allegedly robbed a convenience store".
So - are you asking if I think the guy's life is being railroaded by race-baiters and thugs, then the answer is yes - and that's worth $20 from me. I have no confidence in the politics of a local-appointed police chief, a liberal city council and a Democrat governor. As has been said many times - a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich. Nobody in America should be able to be charged with a crime on political grounds. Equal protection under the law, means if you did your job and protected yourself and the community from a criminal, you shouldn't be indicted and your fate left to a jury. A prosecutor needs to have the balls to NOT indict despite the looting, burning and political pressure.

I'm sure with Dickweed Holder involved everything will be above board and all parties treated equal....
Most of this money will go to legal fees. He will need more than what his union provides. The family of the dead idiot will get much more donated, I'm sure, and will most likely have free representation.
Without money, this legal system and investigation you guys want to wait for will fail him. It's just the way it is

Well the Blacks are not just flying off the handle,they are rioting,looting and shooting people.I have not read anywhere in the MSM where whites do this when a white man gets shot by a cop justified or not!!!

I have hard time saying the court system worked in the OJ case. What I do know is that we have a 6 year cop that has never been written up, a dead offender that was not shot in the back as the liars say, and the cop has a broken orbital socket. I think the cop needs a little support. If you don't, that's on you.

If you don't give a pphukk that the officer gets a fair shake, then fine. There is no speculation that he's going to need monetary assistance and damned sure no speculation that the evidence is not being presented fairly. You haven't said one [bleep] word about the hysteria the blacks are causing, the lies and misinformation put out there to taint the jury pool against the cop, or the fact that the damned state police and the Feds are openly inciting the blacks and castigating the cop with no facts in hand either.
To some folks, a few dollars to see that this guy has a chance to NOT be lynched is worth it. To you, obviously not. So, don't contribute but don't cast aspersions on what another man does with his own EARNED money.

Sounds like the cop is getting a lot of support. All I'm saying is, I'll wait until ALL of the evidence is in before I say one side or the other is right or wrong.
I can envision all sorts of scenarios where it could go one way or another. But my opinion doesn't mean squat. There will be a preliminary investigation. Based on that information the cop will either be indicted or he won't. If he is, there will be a more complete investigation and he'll have his day in court.
I think when an unarmed man is shot, there seriously needs to be an investigation; I think that's appropriate. Let the investigation go and let the cards fall where they fall. The evidence will prevail.
If you don't give a pphukk that the officer gets a fair shake, then fine.
I do care, I think he will get a fair shake and I think history has proven that.

Yes he will need money, but it won't come from me. I won't cover his defense any more than I'd cover anyone else's criminal defense on the off chance that if in fact he killed the kid wrongfully; I don't want to be a part of that. Now after the acquittal; I would consider it. Once I know I'm not supporting a murderer.

HE put it out there on a PUBLIC forum what he was doing...Sorry I didn't follow the heard. God forbid someone have a different opinion on the matter.
Honestly I don't give a rats-azz about the racial implications; I just don't. The only thing I care about is whether the shooting was justified or not; THAT's it. We have a system and we have to let that system work.
To "pick a side" before the system has had a chance to do anything, TO ME at least; seems like doing so is racially motivated. Otherwise, why would we give money to someone whom may have committed murder?

How's the view from that pphukking high horse?
God forbid you ever get charged with anything, because you just MIGHT get convicted. Be a damned shame if anyone gave a schit about justice enough to see that you got a fair trial first - 'cause they might jest get some on demselves if'n you wuz convicted. Sheit, we'll just wait until AFTER you wuz lynched to say "yep, I know'd it all along".
Tell me, then, why is there a pphukking DEMOCRATIC voter registration booth set up on the same street and yards away from where Brown got shot?
Naw, there ain't nothin' funny goin' on and dat cop gonna get a real fair trial...
Everyone said that about Zimmerman, yet they managed to get that one right. The same kind of stuff happened with the media, and the system worked. All the same people here ranted and raved that Zimmerman wouldn't get a fair trail ad-nauseum; but he did and they got the verdict right.
All I'm saying is; I'm not going to rush to judgment. I'll wait until all the facts are in, and then decide for myself. There may be something to get worked up over (other than the riots, and that does pizz me off), but I'll wait until I see something a bit more concrete than something put out by a left wing media.
Kevin, the system failed Zimmerman. He never should have been charged. That politically driven prosecution ruined his life.
By the way, I heard on the news that the nation's highest law enforcement official Eric Holder will be visiting the suspected drug using, store robbing, police assaulting thug's family tomorrow. Wonder if he will visit the officer severely injured in the line of duty?
Either the shooting was justified, or it wasn't; it's just as simple as that. All the hubub didn't change the Rodney King verdict, it didn't change the OJ verdict, it didn't change the Zimmerman verdict...in every case, the EVIDENCE prevailed.
You sure you want to include OJ in that statement?

And if tomorrow or next week they find that this cop committed murder; are you still good with kicking in for his defense?
Yes. Absolutely. Why? Because in order for this cop to get anywhere close to a fair shake, he needs the support for an adequate defense. This is even more so the case when it clearly seems that the MO State police, DOJ, and MS are squarely against him. Then again, perhaps this is just a silly white boy flying off the handle about "adequate counsel", a "fair and impartial jury", and due process".
Obviously your mileage varies and only matters when the result and outcome are already known.
Again, how is the view from that pphukking high horse?

Your opinion may not mean squat, but for some of us, its the trash that got shot thats getting funds to sue etc... and the officer has not even close to a fair shake on that.
For that I"m willing to toss some money to the underdog so to speak, to help him show his side and THEN let it fall where it may.
Without funds, he may never have the ability to do the best he can to defend himself. You can bet your azz, the other side will have plenty of drug money etc... tossed out there to try to hang the guy.
So in the meantime, let the system work, and lets hope its better than the OJ case that was a joke, and those that believe that you should not be guilty before innocent, toss the officer, regardless of race, some help. Lord knows that LEO pay won't be nearly enough to cover expenses.
As to the unarmed man, well you don't have any of the evidence so how do you even know thats true? And if true, where did he loose the arms that he may have beaten the officer with?
To "pick a side" before the system has had a chance to do anything, TO ME at least; seems like doing so is racially motivated. Otherwise, why would we give money to someone whom may have committed murder?
Let's call it a reward, then. I can live with that.
Officer Wilson is now unemployable as an officer in the immediate St Louis area. He and his family will not be able to return to their home. His financial problems have only began. The mental stress for him and his family will last forever. All this because one thoughtless person stole some cheap cigars. He will need a lot of financial support for some time. GW

If it makes you feel better, drop the OJ.
Doesn't make me feel better or worse, just isn't true and pretty much negates your whole statement. The "EVIDENCE" did NOT always prevaile the OJ case clearly proves that fact. Plain and simple.

I agree with most of this but 6 shots? He seems to be in very hot water.
Most of this money will go to legal fees. He will need more than what his union provides. The family of the dead idiot will get much more donated, I'm sure, and will most likely have free representation.

Yeah, I think it's going to be stacked against the guy. I think I'll put $10.00 in.
So far, from what we know, it looks pretty clearly like the guy was in a fight for his life in a confrontation with a strong-arm robber and just barely won.
I agree with most of this but 6 shots? He seems to be in very hot water.
If a feral animal was charging you a second time after it had already gored you once and you were now wounded I suppose YOU would shoot it just once as it continued to aggressively close on you? You're dead...
If you don't give a pphukk that the officer gets a fair shake, then fine.

Wow! I always knew you were stupid but wow. Murderer huh?
I bet the guys and girls that protected you all those years would like to hear you say that.
For those with a brain. I heard a rumor yesterday that his union/FOP attorney will only represent on the local/state level. If he gets charged by the Feds he is on his own.
I do not know if he belonged to any union/FOP or what kind of representation he has or will not have.

You, are an idiot.
Too funny but I believe I will wait a spell before I pass judgment on you
Right or wrong this police officer is in a lot of trouble
That isn't the point, your post about shooting six times is the point. Doesn't the explanation help you understand why there were multiple shots? Shots to the arm don't stop agitated aggressive animals. If you shot a deer low and broke a leg and it was running off wouldn't you shoot again to stop it? Now flip it to a dangerous animal, what if it were one of our wild feral boars weighing 300 pounds busting brush right at you from 30'? I am honestly surprised a southern Missouri guy would need schooled on shooting until the aggressive action is stopped.

Ever had to shoot a deer more than once?
Lets break this six shots was " over bore" bullschit dow right now
Training- shoot to stop the threat.
One round discharged in a closed space( car interior). That round was probably close enough to severely disrupt his hearing, and possibly throw his equlibrium off. Wilson suffered a traumatic injury severe enough to cause a fractured orbital socket
He still had the "heart" to continue to attempt the arrest. Chances are his vison was skewed, and he may even have had to try and use his non dominate eye to aim with.
The injuries support the statement that Brown was charging him. Under those circumstances, including the aggitated state Brown was most likely in, coupled with the officers injuries. He likely reverted to training when the first few shots gave no indication of a hit, he fired at the head. It's also very likely he had no idea how many rounds he even fired
Bottom line. There is no set number of shots that will need to be fired to stop an attack
Officer Wilson is now unemployable as an officer in the immediate St Louis area. He and his family will not be able to return to their home. His financial problems have only began. The mental stress for him and his family will last forever. All this because one thoughtless person stole some cheap cigars. He will need a lot of financial support for some time. GW
I agree with most of this but 6 shots? He seems to be in very hot water.
You, are an idiot.
Too funny but I believe I will wait a spell before I pass judgment on you
Right or wrong this police officer is in a lot of trouble
You're right he's in a lot of trouble, but not because of facts.
Tell us, Mr. Too-Many-Shots, wtf would you do?
You have been assaulted by a suspect in a strong-arm robbery. You have sustained debilitating if not life-threatening injuries (see the wound threads and media reports). You exit your vehicle in order to attempt an arrest, and per the injuries certainly with a concussion of some degree, likely severe.
Now, you are 30 feet (10 yards) from a 6'4", 300 lbs already known violent assailant. For reference, that's roughly the size of an average black bear. You're 10 yards away, and college football players of the same size cover that distance in less than 2 seconds. So, you have 2 seconds.
You, suffering from likely blindness in one eye, trauma to the head, and a concussion, order it to stop. BTW - there is another suspect in the immediate area.
It slowly advances, likely cutting the range to about 8 yards (that'd be about 1.8 seconds distance to impact). Then, it charges.
You react even within the normal .75 seconds and get on target.
You have 1 second to impact.
So, do you fire once and wait for a result? Or, do you fire until the threat stops it's advance?
Here's a hint: about a dozen witnesses have come forward backing up the officer's side of the story, and the assailant dropped finally within about 3-4 feet of the officer.
So, please elaborate on how else it should have been done whilst firing less rounds; with details, facts, and specifics, please.

Its not about the number of shots. You fire until the threat stops. Appears he followed standard training with two shots to the head as the arm/body shots were not stopping the large individual. Yes the news media and the politically correct Governor are doing their best with the hot water thing. Best to wait for all the information is released before we form an opinion. GW

A sheriff's deputy from Butler County fatality shot an unarmed man this past April responding to a call
He is curently out of a job undergoing an investigation......care to throw him some cash?
Are you going to answer the question posed to you by 4ager?
What would I do?
Is this the question?
Nobody can accurately answer what he would do.
First and formost.....we still do not know what happened

You can't answer what you would do, but feel confident enough to declare, that Wilson, under the same citcumstances fired and excessive amount of shots?

Chickenchit mutthaphukker. No wonder MO is FUBAR.
You haven't the balls to support a cop or anyone else in distress until you know it's safe for your cowardly azz. That's typical.
Here's a hint: what happened is known to Brown, Wilson, and God. The reports and evidence go with Wilson, whilst the race-baiters and chickenchit SOBs like you go with Brown. God will pass Judgment in his time. Until then, I'll side with the cop and the evidence.
Obviously, YMMV. Sleep well, knowing that those you won't support still guard your chickenchit azz. I figure that goes at least double for the military over the cops, as Lord knows you couldn't gather all the "facts" necessary to ever support them.
ok im going to throw this out there. some of you all know me personally and know what i do.
darren and me worked for the same police department, until they contracted services with the county police and we went to separate neighboring departments. darren came to us right out of the academy. he was a easy prob to teach and turned into a great cop.
i personally know this man and know that he has a good heart. this whole incident sucks ass and has ruined 2 families. darren was in a fight for his life and won, but is going to have to pay for winning the rest of his life.
this event is really draining our resources and manpower around here.

Yep, GFY
F'n himself would require balls and an erection. It appears that he's proven both to be an impossibility.
You either watch way too much tv and/or haven't a clue about shooting to stop a mortal physical threat in a combat setting or are just innately stupid.
I have a friend who was a police officer that walked in on an armed robbery at a gas station in 1979.
The perp was a kid tanked up on PCP who turned and shot my friend thru the right leg with a sawed off shotgun.
Though grievously wounded he returned fire and hit the shooter six times with a .357. One round hit the arm and the rest went center mass thru the heart lung area.
It never even slowed this boy down as he ran out the door.
In the parking lot the fellow that was with my friend that day engaged the perp. He hit him center mass 7 times with 230 grain hardball from a 1911. The kid was still trying to reload the shotgun when the officer changed magazines in the 1911 and shot him three times in the head killing him.
It took 16 total rounds, all hits to the vital areas, to stop a boy that wouldn't weigh 125 lbs soaking wet because he was so tanked up on drugs and adrenaline.
My friend's career as a police officer ended that day and every day since he gets to put on and wear a big specially made boot with a brace built into it so he can walk.
But, by your standard I guess they used excessive force.
The officer in MO that took on a 300 lb pavement ape who was probably also tanked up on something did very well with having to use only six rounds.

So basically what you're saying is that Officer Wilson isn't predispositioned towards murder?
Seriously, this whole episode is typical horschit; about the same as the likes of the Miranda case that sick lawyers, race baiters and pimps use to defile honest people and the justice system. Odd they don't all flail in tiger cage and expect to live....but I wish they all would to spare us this idiocy.

You may have not overtly stated it, but that's exactly what you were aluding to.
...All the hubub didn't change the Rodney King verdict...
Bullschitt. The US Attorney convicted those officers on civil rights violations to keep the rioting from escalating. The state courts had acquitted them, so the blacks promptly started rioting and burning their own neighborhoods to the ground. I thought they should have acquitted them on the US civil right violations also, thrown a steel barrier around the riot zone and tossed in water and food as needed.
Like I said I'll wait until ALL the facts come out
Scooled?.........try educated.....hint
Trying... . I'm not attacking you Ted. I think you must be very naive about the subject of self defense, ect. That caught me off guard coming from a country guy who hangs out on hunting/shooting websites. I would encourage you to educate yourself about the topic for your own protection. Have a great week, stay safe.
You are beyond stupid. If you don't care to support him them get your trolling azz the [bleep] outta here and leave the rest of us in peace. I don't shiv a git about your 2� opinions

Miranda is a jobs program for un employed lawyers. It has nothing to do with justice. Just another case the Warren court got wrong. kwg

You seem to have reached a new low in understanding how our CJ system works. In large part, with high profile cases, the side that can trot out the best "dream team" (See OJ) usually wins the case. And the sooner that team can start obfuscating the facts and throwing baseless accusations at the other side the better. That's why the folks who agree with the officer are getting him a slush fund to help pay a top-flight team of attorneys. He doesn't need them when YOU decide you've seen enough evidence to support the officer; he needed them YESTERDAY. He needs a legal team in place to start tossing legal bombs back at the other side. Additionally, your understanding of the use of deadly force is skewed badly. I would hope you were never on a jury where I was the defendant and a Peace Officer. You're dangerously naive.

The officer has just been hit in the head so hard that the bones around his eye were broken. Then his gun went off inside his car as he struggled with the thug. The thug tried to run away, but rushed at the officer when told to stop. It's no wonder that the officer was unable to shoot accurately at first and that it took 6 shoots to bring down the charging thug.

Six Shots ??? If the Police were only supposed to shoot once then they would be issued single shot pistols. If justified to shoot once you are justified to dump the magazine and do a combat reload if necessary. It is called eliminating the threat. If you have never had a 6`4 300 lb 'gentle giant' charge with intent on kicking your ass and taking your weapon then I would imagine it would be hard to understand. Joe
I just want to say that it takes a special brand of pussy to talk [bleep] about the number of rounds fired to stop a 300 pound dude that already broke your face.
I did worse in my first gunfight, and I had both eyes working. If only I was as bad-ass as all you internet heros.........
None of us know what really happened when he shot the other man. I tend to believe that it was s justifiable shooting but none of can be sure of that can we? How would you feel if evidence came out that he did indeed shoot the guy just because he was black (I don't believe that I'm just saying) and you now gave money to a murder's defense fund? Let's do what we are all asking the protestors to do and sit back and wait for the facts before making any judgments.
The "great statesman" democratic governor of Mo. had a real poor moment, tonght. His less than justified speech was so slanted toward the side of the prosecution it was laughable. What a totally moronic thing to say at anytime prior to "Justice" being served. This governor is a total POS.-Mike
I don't send money to feed Africa, or to help pets, or so Jews in Israel can celebrate Passover, or any other rip off BS, what a crock, but I reckon it's your money, so it's ok with me what you do with it, and if it you makes you feel better, do it.
I reread the first three of your posts Ted. What I initially posted is accurate. If you're already questioning the # of rounds fired by the survivor then you know little to nothing of the case law that governs the use of deadly force. You also said you would not send any money to help the officer unless it was proven he was not a murderer. DUH. That's where you really sunk to an intellectual low. He can't prove his innocence, which by the way, he shouldn't have to - innocent until proven guilty, remember - until he can pay a team of attorneys to get to work on his case. This really will be a contest of who can put on the biggest dog-n-pony show in court, not a test of the facts or the truth. The facts and the truth get mauled beyond recognition when you interject possible white on black civil rights violations. So, I've read a lot of your comments twice some just once. I didn't need a reread. How about you rewrite?

Just 3? Then you failed the test....same as the rest
I guess he never hunted enough to have ever tried to put on his leather gloves which had been soaked and then left to dry (and shrink). Maybe he thinks the Martians did it.

I am not sure the truth can come out and even if it does, I suspect at least one side will refute it. Whether or not the shooting was legally justified or not, I don�t have any sympathy for the perp.; its just one hoot rat less by all accounts.
That said, on principle, I do believe the Officer should be investigated and either exonerated, or prosecuted, depending where the evidence leads.
But therein lies the problem, as I don�t know if majority of the so called evidence will be factual and impartial. Even the forensic evidence looks less than conclusive.
Years ago, the majority of society would have given the Police officer concerned the benefit of the doubt, but today, loss of trust in the Police, local and national Government means that�s no longer the case.
I want to contribute. Not nitpicking but serious... How do we know this is credible reliable honest and the money gets to Officer Wilson??
Thanks for posting.
I looked into it before donating. This particular organization and effort has been heavily covered in the press, to include the identity of the organizers. Not likely, therefore, a scam.

Well...... putting it in perspective you already have contributed to the other side in this incident. That fund for Michael Brown has yours and my tax dollars in it.The hood rat contributors either got it with foodstamps,welfare or some criminal enterprise. Look at it as an opportunity to at least hedge your bet. NEWS FLASH : Payless Shoe Store Looted in Ferguson ....Not a single pair of Work Boots Stolen. ....Telling Joe
That officer needs $250,000.00 to get a good solid start. Not all the white apologists, cop haters and other completely clueless morons will be able to overcome the defense team he can assemble for a start with a quarter of a million dollars. If needed, we'll raise another quarter of a million. This is becoming a national test case with influential morons calling for the officer's head before any of them have even seen the first piece of evidence...never mind a presumption of innocence unless and until proven guilty IN A COURT OF LAW. The officer deserves a fair shake, and money is the only way to insure that. I gave last night and I'm going to give more tonight.

Talk is cheap folks please do your part. Holder has boxed this guy in with folks that have no understanding of "justice". The email I got says they are trying for $150K but I think they do need $1million just for him to have a chance at a fair trial, and I'm not sure it will happen anyway.
Keep going! I've seen trials like this in person. To demand the facts before contributing is dangerously naive. The officer needs at least $250,000.00 to get the venue changed to somewhere out of state. The only way that will ever happen is if he has the $$$ to hire the Dick DeGuerins of the legal world. This trial could be lost despite overwhelming evidence in the officer's favor if Holder and the other sorry excuses for human beings are allowed to keep the trial in Ferguson. The officer needs some heavy-weight legal eagles to be weighing in NOW on his behalf. I think we need to keep this donation stream flowing until the officer is acquitted of ALL charges, both State and Federal. It could very well cost him between $500,000.00 and $1,000,000.00 dollars as he will have to defend himself in the State criminal and State civil trials as well as the Federal criminal and Federal civil trials. What's been done so far is wonderful, but he will most assuredly need more (possible appeals).
Yes, the IRS will consider this income to the officer. However, they'll also have to consider income all the support going to "Mikey's welfare mom", which will bump her right off the government dole for a while.
He'll need every penny of it and more, likely a lot more.
BTW - if it's any more incentive to donate, this fund is driving the NAACP apoplectic. They are gnashing their teeth about all of the "closet, anonymous racists" who are donating and wanting the DOJ and IRS to "investigate this". They can't, of course.
What is really driving them nuts is the fact that Mikey's welfare mom has only gotten less than $100k, with $40k of that from the NAACP to pay for an NAACP provided attorney (how's that for accounting?), and another $20k from Alpha Phi Alpha paid directly to the funeral home to eventually bury his carcass.
If this fund is causing the NAALCP (National Association for the Advancement of LiberalColored People) I'm going to send the officer's legal fund every penny I can manage for the next several months. Causing angst among the ranks of the NAALCP is a worthy cause in and of itself.
So before any investigation is complete, you're cool with this shooting as is? Now you're taking the word of the very media you say you don't trust. I wonder if you would do that if it was a white guy who was shot by a black officer.
Really this whole thing has spun completely sideways and people are losing their minds on this. LET THE INVESTIGATION go, it will work.
Either the shooting was justified, or it wasn't; it's just as simple as that. All the hubub didn't change the Rodney King verdict, it didn't change the OJ verdict, it didn't change the Zimmerman verdict...in every case, the EVIDENCE prevailed.
I can't think of many things that are a bigger waste of time than speculating on this incident BEFORE the completion of the investigation.
The facts didn't matter when they persecuted George Zimmerman. The evidence proved that he killed Trayvon in self defense, yet he had to go through a trial. All because Tyrant Obama the Liar needed to scare blacks into voting for him in 2012.
We have an election this year and the progressive fascists (Dems) aren't looking to good. They are going to try the same crap again.
Yep, viewpoints that oppose liberalism cannot be permitted expression or support, because such viewpoints are, by definition, motivated by bigotry, racism, and prejudice.
We (being the admins of the page) began this GoFundMe site after our Facebook page �Support Darren Wilson� grew and we saw that there was a need for an online donation site for those who wanted to donate. We set up this GoFundMe page and it quickly gained enormous support for Officer Darren Wilson. Then, once we located the local charitable foundation, Shield of Hope (a non-profit organization), that has been designated as the authorized charity for donations on behalf of Darren Wilson, we began working together to have a GoFundMe page set up to collect and disburse donations for Officer Wilson through the Charitable Foundation. Unfortunately, to do so requires us to end collection on the current page that you are viewing now. GoFundMe does not allow transfer of existing campaigns, even to charities. Please know that all funds received from our events, this GoFundMe site and our TeeSpring campaign will be donated to Officer Darren Wilson, and in the future, donations will still be donated to Officer Wilson, but will be tax deductible for donors as well. Shield of Hope is a Certified Charity on GoFundMe, is available via public search with GoFundMe, and has been designated by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
With the creation of a new page, the donation amount shown will initially reset to zero. Please do not confuse this with the current donation amounts received on this page. Shield of Hope has offered to post all funds received from this GoFundMe page, our TeeSpring page and our rally/t-shirt funds collected on the street on their site indicating they have received these funds from us, once we are able to send those funds to the Foundation. This will allow all of our supporters to confirm that funds collected on this page were sent to the correct place for Officer Darren Wilson.
We will continue to operate the �Support Darren Wilson� Facebook page and TeeSpring page independently. If there are any other changes, we will post updates via our Facebook page. We will also still be available for direct contact for any questions, clarification and t-shirt sales.
The Ferguson Police Department has requested that all donations that supporters may wish to mail be made payable to �Shield of Hope� and mailed to Shield of Hope, 9620 Lackland Rd., St. Louis MO 63114.

As a group, "Support Darren Wilson" is comprised of many people who want to give others the opportunity to support Officer Darren Wilson during this time. Some of us have never met Officer Darren Wilson while others are close family friends or even family themselves. The funds collected through GoFundMe and through TeeSpring along with our fundraisers on the ground will be going directly to Officer Darren Wilson through the non-profit Shield of Hope. We anticipate these funds will be used to cover potential legal fees, relocation and living expenses of both Officer Darren Wilson and his immediate family.
We truly hope that everyone who has donated understands the transition. If not, please reach out to us. We do not want this to become a hindrance of the support Officer Darren Wilson is receiving.
Thank you for your understanding. We truly appreciate your time, efforts, prayers, kind words and donations. It means more than you could possibly know.
Good. If it's a 501c3, then it may avoid taxable situations for Officer Wilson. Of course, I find it odd that this happens now after leftists threaten to hack/boycott/sue GoFundMe...

Each one of us who donated will now be arrested by the Federalis.
It should be a clear sign to the administration that more people support the officer than the family of the dead criminal. It won't, but it'd be nice if that would prompt them to back off and let the state handle this
