Aug 22, 2014 7:22PM ET Non-Profit Run by a Missouri Police Union Is Now Handling Fundraising for Darren Wilson Arit John

The GoFundMe crowdsourcing fundraiser for the Ferguson police officer who killed Michael Brown has been taken over by Shield of Hope, a charity run by the local police union. Since Shield of Hope is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, all donations from here on out will now be tax deductible. The original fundraiser had raised over $235,000 before passing on the torch to Shield of Hope. The new Shield of Hope-run page has raised over $11,000 on its own.

Originally called the Fraternal Order Of Police Lodge 15 Charitable Foundation, Shield of Hope was founded in late 2011. (The name was changed shortly after.) According to a filing with the Missouri Secretary of State's office, the charity's board of directors include the Ferguson Police Department's Public Relations Officer Timothy Zoll, Missouri State Rep. Jeffrey Roorda (a former police officer), and Florissant City Council member Joe Eagan.

Let there be no mistake, every American urban basket case has been under the control of liberalism for decades, and the pathologies they are now experiencing are only the prelude to what lies ahead when the civic cancer fully metastasizes.

Ferguson, and a thousand cities like it, have fallen down the rabbit hole because they have disregarded justice and are deficient in the moral accountability that must accompany human dignity.

These cities languish in their present hopeless condition because they are the stillborn children of the condescending liberal dream -- (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...

Ferguson...."a seething tribal hatred supplants even the most fundamental quality of reason"....

The twitter crap on this that I saw from socialists on Fascistbook was that “white supremacists” are raising the $200,000 for Mr. Wilson.

Stalinists lie. ALWAYS

AS KEY LARGO POSTED: The vice president’s Boeing 757 delivered Eric Holder to St. Louis. In Ferguson, Holder announced that he was “a black man” and therefore had the power to heal Ferguson in ways that no other law enforcement official could. Yet his comments were sure to throw gasoline on fire burning hot with racial division. That shouldn’t shock anyone. It’s the community organizing model of running the Justice Department.

What is shocking is who is fueling the Justice Department’s “training” of police departments around the country: radicals, communist-affiliated organizations, and George Soros. I stumbled across this section of my book Injustice this morning. It notes: A stable of academics serving as paid consultants help to fuel the DOJ’s fixation on racial profiling by the police. One such consultant, Dr. Jack McDevitt of Northeastern University, heads the Institute on Race and Justice (IRJ). Past collaborators with the IRJ include Angela Davis, a former member of both the Communist Party USA and the original Black Panther Party.

The IRJ receives at least $440,448 in DOJ funds to teach department lawyers about racial profiling by police departments. But the IRJ’s reports on this issue have another deep pocket benefactor—George Soros and his Open Society Institute.

Soros sponsored the IRJ’s project “Confronting Racial Profiling in the 21st Century: Implications for Racial Justice,” the very same work that IRJ is doing for the DOJ. Thus, police departments are subjected not only to DOJ muscle, but DOJ muscle with the financial backing of George Soros. (Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...

Lets hope they’re figuring out how rabid the hatred from the left and other unions feel for them really is.

I hear on the news that Wilson is being forced into hiding by the mob. It might be time to run a support op. Every body now signs everything as “Darren Wilson”. This is like wearing a yellow star during World War 2 to give cover to the Jews.

The next AG should appoint Mark Levin as his deputy, and charge him with cleaning out the place..

Right-—the entire govt needs fumigation after these skunks depart.

Although I sometimes wake up screaming, despairing that they wont go when the time comes.

A lot won't go..they'll burrow into the Civil Service.

I wonder if the WH staffers will remove all the "O"s from the WH keyboards when they leave.

I think Clinton and Kerry were useful idiots... played as fools. Not like Obama and Holder... they're members - in the center of action.

Great idea. Here's what others are doing...

Porch lights — many of them illuminating blue — are being left on in St. Louis and across the country in a show of support for the Missouri police officer Wilson....

No. They don’t have the imagination. They’ll remove the “w” keys because that is what the truly cool do.

This is good because he is going to need to be moved far away and with a different career.

All because he did his duty.
