I worked with Brad for a few years back when I worked at WalMart while in high school. Was a really nice guy and would even help us out when it was slow. Prayers to all the officers families.

Me and Matt were in the Marine Corps together at 29 Palms. Awesome guy, great friend and my brother for life. Semper Fi my brother.

Wish there was a better crowdfunding site than gofundme. IIRC they take 8% in fees. 5% for them and 3% for the creditcard fee. Seems like the CC company could be persuaded to drop the fees in situations like this.
8% of 500k = 40,000

ikr? Based on what I read, he seemed like such a loving guy to everyone and he truly cared about the city. It hurts me knowing that his very young son will have to grow up without his awesome father.

Brad Garofola's too.
His family came to meet him with the car packed to leave for vacation, then found out he had been shot and killed within the hour. How do you even begin to tell the 4 kids that their father is gone.

I don't even want to know the hell that these families are going through right now. I bet they're awake right now. I know if it was me I would be able to sleep.

Verification of these GFAs.
There is at least 2 in Matt Gerald's name.
Is there a way to check identification these accounts?

I'm a grown arse 46 y/o man and this brings tears to my eyes every time I see these images.
There's a special place in hell for the people that started the lies that have led to this nonsense.

What an awful tragedy. I cannot imagine what these families are going through.

I received an email thanking me for my donation to the account in the OP for Officer Gerald from Jaylan Gerald (not the automatic one from Go Fund Me)

How much did you donate?
Posted on 7/18/16 at 9:23 am to tduecen
Is there a general collection fund for all of those lost or injured? Possibly a joint effort between the police and sherrif department?
Posted on 7/18/16 at 9:24 am to tduecen
Not to stop people from wanting to donate, but the families of these officers will be compensated. Last i checked the amount will be upwards of 1 million dollars for each. I would love to see people donate more money to the officers that were injured and will not have a job because of this tragedy. The injured officers and families of those that cannot return to work have little to no assistance for their sacrifice.

There are several generic GoFundMe's set up. It seems to be local girls saying they'll "deliver a check," but I am just so scared someone is going to pillage the cause.

Really? A generosity pissing match benefits nobody.

In case anyone wants to make a donation to Deputy Garafola's family without paying the GoFundMe fees, I spoke to the sheriff's department this morning and they have set up a memorial fund through their office.
You can send a check to:
EBR Parish Sheriff's Office
P.O. Box 3277
Baton Rouge, LA 70821
Make the check out to "EBR Parish Sheriff" and write in the memo section of the check "Brad Garafola's Memorial Fund."
100% of the money will go to Deputy Garafola's family.
I also spoke to the BRPD and they are in the process of setting up a fund for their two officers' families so all they are doing now is taking the name of anyone who wants to make a donation along with your phone number and email address. Once they have the process established, they will contact us and give us the donation information.
If you want more information, the phone number to contact the Sheriff's Public Information Office is (225) 389-5091 and the BRPD non-emergency number is (225) 389-2000.
