Support grows for Ferguson officer Darren Wilsonhttp://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2014/08/18/14230117/
The video there includes a St. Louis Police officer speaking of the "professionalism of police in this area"
Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson Has a Serious Online Fan Club

From the GoFundMe page to multiple Facebook fan pages, the cop who killed Michael Brown is getting lots of online love. Just one thing: His supporters would prefer to remain anonymous.
A support page for Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson, the man who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, has brought in more than $10,000 in the last day.
We stand behind Officer Darren Wilson and his family during this trying time in their lives, the GoFundMe pages creators write. All proceeds will be sent directly to Darren Wilson and his family for any financial needs they may have including legal fees.
Her reticence is not uncommon among online supporters of Officer Wilson. A number of administrators of support pages for the officer on Facebook declined to speak with The Daily Beast, citing a fear of being a target of potential violence. Those who did shared their beliefs on the condition of anonymity.
I dont think an officer of his reputation would shoot an unarmed person for no reason whatsoever, said one administrator in Ferguson who suggested The Daily Beast identify him as Bossman. His page, called I support Missouri Police Officer Darren Wilson, has a great deal fewer likes than some of the better-publicized Facebook pages.
Facebook Page Supporting Officer Who Fatally Shot Michael Brown Surpasses 30K Likes

One of the links on the page is for a company that is selling a Support Officer Darren Wilson t-shirt. On the front of the navy blue shirt, it has a police officers badge with the phrase Officer Darren Wilson, I Stand By You 8-9-14. The back of the shirt features the phrase Weve Got Your 6″ in bold white letters.
FYI "your 6" is a military term for your back but it also refers to the number of bullets that hit Michael Brown. I don't think that choice was any accident.

(14,505 posts)1. So the klan is out in force.
there is no one in the klan smart enough to navigate a web page or "like" a Facebook posting.
As far as "GoFundMe", similarly, no member of the klan is going to part with his money in the furtherance of a cop.
The klan has no presence in this, from what I see.
They are too cowardly to make an outward appearance, so there may be some false flag operation going down in the crowd, but for the most part, the klan doesn't have the overall intelligence to be a factor in this.
