Ferguson Officer Wilson Has Received More Online Donations Than Brown's Family

Online donations to the Ferguson police officer responsible for shooting and killing unarmed black teenager Michael Brown have surpassed the amount of donations to Brown's family.

Supporters of Darren Wilson, the police officer, have raised about $350,000 on two GoFundMe crowdfunding campaigns for Wilson and his family. The first of those campaigns, launched on Monday, raised $234,910 before ending. A second crowdfunding campaign has so far raised more than $129,000 with three days to go.

In comparison, a crowdfunding campaign on the same site for Brown's family raised just over $220,000 at the time of this writing.

Wonder how much of that $220,000 is from welfare?

From the NYTimes-
"Mr. Brown occasionally hinted at frustration with his family. Last August, he posted a message on Facebook that it was wrong “how yo own family dont wanna see you do good.” And just a week before he was shot dead, he commented that some of his friends treated him better than “my own family.”"

This is typical. Don't care about the kid in life but put on a big show when they think they can make a buck off of the kid's death. Very sick people.

I'm sure it will all be donated to the NAACP to fight for the cause. They want their sons memory to go down in history.

Brown will not need any money. Other than the cost of the funeral that money will go to supporting his parents.
On the other hand the Officer will probably need money for years to come. His family has been targeted and he will probably have to move and lay low for a long time.

Cop gets attacked by a thug that just strong-arm robbed a liquor store for some cigars. Thug (6'4") reaches into cop car window and starts punching cop and grabbing cops gun. Cops does what's right and ends the stupid P.O.S. thug.
Cop has to hide.

Something wrong in this country that needs to be corrected!

Having watched the strong arm robbery on TV, I don't need to know anything else about the thug.
