I fault BOTH sides for inflaming a very sad situation.
Actually Peg, this is what I call inflaming. It's amazing they've raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the killer cop who hasn't been charged with anything yet and probably won't be. I wonder what happens to all that money if no charges are filed?
Support for officer that shot Michael Brown: 'It was a good kill'
Supporters of officer Darren Wilson hold placards outside Barney's Sports Pub in St. Louis, Missouri August 23, 2014. No arrests were recorded overnight, marking three consecutive relatively calm nights for the St. Louis suburb following daily unrest since Michael Brown, 18, was shot by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. About 14 miles (22 km) away in St. Louis, dozens of supporters of the officer gathered at Barney's Sports Pub to raise money for Wilson's family.
It's to be expected that the officer that shot Michael Brown would have supporters.
The gathering began gaining steam in the early afternoon outside Barney’s Sports Pub in south St. Louis — a place many described as a popular police watering hole. At it’s peak, between 50 and 70 people crowded around a table as organizers said they had raised thousands of dollars for Wilson, who killed Michael Brown on Aug. 9. A brief press conference ended with the group reciting in unison, “we are Darren Wilson.”
But for a group motivated by the supposed railroading of the nice officer just dispensin' jaywalking tickets like a nice officer should, they certainly are quick to jump to their own presumptions.
