Who’s minding the store? Black Lives Matter burst onto the national scene a few years ago following the officer-involved deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Freddie Gray in Baltimore. In general, no doubt there is a debate about the use of force among police officers in some instances. No doubt bad cops should be held accountable. No doubt, not all police shootings are ‘good’ shoots. Laquan McDonald’s death at the hands of the Chicago Police Department is a prime example, where then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office appears to have pushed for the suppression of the footage in order to win an election. There are still lingering questions about Freddie Gray’s death, but what do we get from BLM? Oh, only chants like “pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon.”
Now, cops are being shot all over the country. BLM obviously has been quiet, but there’s another more pressing reason: it has no leadership. One of its top people resigned after it was discovered she bought a bunch of real estate for millions of dollars. Two others supposedly took her place but didn’t take their leadership roles due to disagreements with the rest of the governing council. No one is steering the ship. No one. And the financial records are something of a train wreck as well. Millions of dollars are unaccounted for with this group. There are many words that come to mind here: incompetence, corruption, recklessness, deception, and grift. Take your pick, but I think the latter is the winner—and one you’ve probably thought of years ago especially after the real estate purchases

Sounds like a spooky story.
The main house is in an overwhelmingly White area.
She'll never be held accountable, none of them will. The rest of the money will disappear soon as well, never to be seen again - and no one will investigate b/c that would be racist.
It’s a safe bet that BLM and its staff will NEVER be subject to an irs audit, nor surveillance by the fbi.
We can’t audit them, they would just use the race card and get their minions in antifa, Hollywood and the media to defend them.
Patrice coulours or something. A million in that are ain’t much house these days.
David Horowitz can tell you about what happened to someone who tried to audit the Black Panther Party, which is BLM’s precursor.
Besides, accounting is about arithmetic, which is racist.
In fact, writing things down is racist.
In fact, learning to read and write is racist.
Liberals gave money and got ripped off by a con????
Awwww...that’s a shame!
A lot of people would steal money if they knew they could get away with it. But only some people have that privilege.
Board members should be questioning donation protocols in place if their firms donated to BLM. Somebody at these firms need to lose their jobs.
Who could have guessed that a bigoted organization run by grifters would end in disgrace?
BLM was pretty clearly a top-down political organization, established by Eric Holder and the DOJ.
Their goals were political destabilization, and in particular, DOJ/FBI takeover of all local independent police, and establishing the fake narrative of "anti-racism" as a weapon of the Left and Federal power
I would say they have succeeded.
Only braindead, white morons with lots of money to throw away donated to the Black Looters Movement.
They didn’t still from FReepers. We weren’t the ones stupid enough to give them money.
I’m sure any stray BLM money will be very efficiently sent to the Democrat Party.
I heard that if you own one share of stock in a corporation you have a right to show up at the shareholders meetings and ask questions. The board members and CEO’s need to feel some heat for giving millions of dollars to crooks and liars.
You are so right.
Let's remember the BLM style of financial bookkeeping goes by feelings. The white bookkeeping system and auditing goes by the white racisss system of "only one correct answer to a math problem." That's why math is racisss.
