A former Baltimore police officer said Wednesday that he plans to perform an Al Jolson routine in blackface to raise money for the six Baltimore officers who have been indicted in the death of Freddie Gray.
Bobby Berger, whose performances as Jolson created tension with the department in the 1980s, said Wednesday that 610 tickets have been sold in eight days at $45 each for the Nov. 1 fundraiser in Glen Burnie.

The cops will be pressured to not take the money. The new American fascism, brought to you by the Democrat party.

Maybe Howard Stern can show up in blackface as Ted Danson and they can sing
My Old Kentucky Home as a duet?

What do the three cops involved who happen to be black think about it?

They would be fools to take the money.
First, the black cops on trial would understandably find it offensive.
Second, the white cops on trial would be telling the jury pool: "Yes, we are actually racists."
This guy is a self-aggrandizing tool.
