Employees at an anti-police nonprofit have been left in a bind after their woke founder allegedly blew hundreds of thousands of dollars on designer clothes and mansions for himself.
Brandon D. Anderson, 39, who founded a citizen app intended to replace law enforcement called Raheem AI, is being questioned about $250,000 in suspicious expenses he submitted in 2021 alone, according to the New York Times.
But the alleged brazen fraud presented staffers with a dilemma - should they call the police on the founder of their anti-police project?
In the end, after being unpaid as Anderson allegedly siphoned away the money and feeling they had no other way to reclaim their wages, they resorted to telling the District of Columbia's attorney general - who may now open a criminal probe.
'Brandon is a masculine-presenting Black person. And the way that police treat masculine-presenting Black people is terrible,' Nancy Mariano, a former software engineer at the nonprofit, told the NYT of the dilemma.
'Even if Brandon committed a crime, I don't want Brandon to die, so I don't want to put Brandon in that position,' she added - while recognizing though that he appeared to have committed 'the perfect crime'.
It was deputy director Jasmine Banks who eventually called in law enforcement to hold Anderson accountable for the alleged fraud.
'Do I have personal guilt? That's an interesting question,' she told a NYT interviewer, and paused for a long time. 'No.'
Raheem AI was launched with a radical mission to abolish the police and build an alternative network of 'liberated dispatchers' comprising medics, social workers and psychologists to take would-be 911 calls.

Did they call the police?................
Oh...my...sides
Wrong!...Raheem AI was launched with the intention of providing Brandon a huge grift!..........................
Oh, a girl. No wonder the money was blown on clothes.
“masculine-presenting black person”!?
Another butchering of the language by their euphemism factory.
A guy who is so into cloths just steals suitcases at airports.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahaha!!!
“Brandon is a masculine-presenting Black person”
I assume that means Brandon is as queer as a three dollar bill.
“Brandon” might very well be an XX type person.
You know, what sane people call a “woman”.
IOW Sheep get fleeced.
Here's more on him and his sob story.

This "masculine-presenting Black person" is a poofter. His fiance Raheem, who was allegedly improperly killed by a cop and inspired the app, was a dude.
It's just like the Black Lives MatterTM founder buying mansions with donation money.
I see what you did there :) three points awarded
No the article was in the SundaY NT Times. They had a pact among them that they were never to call the police for anything no matter what the circumstances.
'Even if Brandon committed a crime, I don't want Brandon to die, so I don't want to put Brandon in that position,' she added - while recognizing though that he appeared to have committed 'the perfect crime'.
It was at this point that I looked up to the source and said, "NFS! This really isn't the Bee."
'Even if Brandon committed a crime, I don't want Brandon to die, so I don't want to put Brandon in that position,' she added - while recognizing though that he appeared to have committed 'the perfect crime'.
If he dies it'll be because someone from YOUR side does it.
Good grief, the hysterical fear mongering by the left.
They only fear because that's what they would do and they are projecting.
Evil never can understand good.
“...They had a pact among them that they were never to call the police for anything no matter what the circumstances...”
Even in the very liberal Virginia-side suburbs of DC, at least they don’t usually put criminals right back on the street. The thugs know to do their work on the DC side of the Potomac.
