Damn shame a single person like Alton sterling basically quadrupled the donations of 4 police officers My god what the frick has happened to this country


I agree it looks bad on the surface, but myself and 35 coworkers all donated to the BRAF fund so that our employer would match it.

Also, companies that might want to give more and get a tax deduction would also use the BRAF fund. That's also the place almost all the restaurant and other organized fund raising efforts are going.

I'm sure the total officer dontions are many times higher than what gofund me balances are.

The total amount for all 4 officers is $319,279.00

Alton Sterling's family received $700,000+

Sickening


Misleading. Lots of money outside of this GoFundMe is going to these families. They had support structures in place.

No freaking way. Bless that woman.

In positive news Nick Tullier has been able to breathe on his own for the past 16 hours but still on vent "in case".

See fb page Nick Tullier Strong. I thought this was awesome news.

Showed up a little before 1 pm and they were already out of food. We gave them money anyways. They gave us a t shirt.

Great to see the community is still supporting the officers and their families. We talked to the mother of the caterers and she said they had around 108 plates and they sold them in less than an hour and they made much more in donations.

Terrible is the last word that comes to mind regarding this IMO.

BTW, I believe it's a bit insensitive to be releasing this sort of information when the family had no intentions of making it public yet.

Saw it in an email going around. I wasn't aware they had no intentions of releasing. If you can confirm they don't want it out I'll edit and erase.
