All eyes are on Ferguson after the grand jury investigating Officer Darren Wilson’s conduct involving the shooting death of Michael Brown came back with no indictments. This has resulted in new focus on not only the evidence and testimony presented to the grand jury, but to the prosecutor, Robert McCulloch himself. And this focus has revealed a disturbing link between fundraisers tied to each man.

In addition to his duties as the county prosecutor, Robert McCulloch is also the president of The Backstoppers, Inc., an organization used to fundraise for the men and women in uniform in both Missouri and Illinois. And, in August, his organization was affiliated with a t-shirt drive featuring a picture of Missouri and the statement “I SUPPORT OFFICER D. WILSON” which was set up to raise money for the Darren Wilson Defense Fund as well as The Backstoppers.

Backstoppers runs a multitude of fundraising campaigns, but they also directly support the officers they fundraise for. According to their website, within hours of a traumatic experience, Backstoppers offers a variety of help, including:

Assumption of financial obligations (i.e., mortgage payments, automobile payments, credit card debt, loan debt, taxes, insurance, etc.) as funding permits
Health and dental insurance, if needed
Elementary and secondary educational assistance grades K–12 (per child: $2,000 per year public, $4,000 per year private)
College/vocational tuition assistance to spouse/survivors
$1,000 payment to spouse at Christmas
$1,000 U.S. Savings Bonds to surviving children at Christmas and on birthday up to age 21
Miscellaneous assistance as approved by board of directors (i.e., home repairs, unusual medical expenses, etc.)
Financial counseling

This is on top of any other support which Backstoppers will offer. Not all who Backstoppers supports will get all assistance, so it is unknown what, if anything, the organization may have done to assist Officer Wilson. The shirt itself was set up by an anonymous third party, with page links to both entities, creating what may potentially be an inadvertent conflict of interest.

Hmmm getting interesting...

..I'm a huge supporter of the police force in general and the job they do but that doesn't mean that racial profiling doesn't happen or that there aren't people in the force who are 'questionable'..I find it quite worrying that emphasis is placed on 'desensitisation' through things like video games/movies etc and yet a human life can be distinguished in such a way and it can be justified because maybe 'he was no saint', when that's completely irrelevant to having 12 bullets aimed at him and be killed when he did not appear to be any threat at all...

Shaun 27-11-2014 05:05 AM
It's just quite obviously a racial problem when you compare it to the cases of that Dzhokhar kid from the Boston marathon bombings, or the boy who killed all of those movie-goers at the Dark Knight Rises premiere - people who've been known to have been responsible for mass murder, for terrorism, and presumably surrendered in the exact same circumstances, with their hands above their head - maybe even WORSE than Brown's instance because the latter was armed - that not one of the police officers on the scene thought "yeah let's shoot them" or even "hang on, i'm at risk here, i need to take him out". White mass murderers are more valuable alive than suspected black criminals (and can we please stop talking about that 'robbery' - even though there's footage of him actually paying for the cigars - because he wasn't even approached by Wilson for that, he was approached for jaywalking)

I mean I saw footage and news reports about that 12 year old shooting (unrelated to this I know) that actually thought focussing on the kid's father's history of domestic violence was in some way important or the 'angle' of the story. And yet every time a white school shooter is in the news, it's all "oh we had no idea he was disturbed, he seemed so normal, he was a bit of a loner".

It's as if his whole life was preempted, even on here there have been posts relating to that as preventing offences in the future way.. it's disgusting how it's almost more acceptable to extinguish a life for fear they are predestined a life of crime than the killing of an innocent...:/

Ammi 27-11-2014 05:16 AM
..I don't know if it's relevant but there is also another story atm of a 3yr old who shot his mum..(and killed her..)..while she was changing his younger sister's diaper...the loaded gun had been left on the sofa and he just picked it up and pulled the trigger presumably...she was an army veteran and it's interesting to see the thoughts of people commenting on the forum I was on/the story was on...completely sympathetic and it is extraordinarily tragic but I can also see that in some situations, maybe another family would have been bombarded with 'hate' and criticism immediately for the stupidity of leaving that loaded gun there....

Totally agree. It is a racially motivated killing.

Rudy Giuliani wants to prosecute the witnesses for perjury. This is the piece of sh*t who insisted people donate 9 dollars and 11 cents $9.11c toward his presidential campaign and now he want to put the witnesses is jail.

Fox News at its best.

“What about the poor black child that was killed by another black child?” Giuliani asked. “Why aren't you protesting that?... Why don't you cut it down so that so many white police officers don't have to be in black areas?”

“When I become mayor, I’ll do that,” replied Dyson, exasperated.

“White police officers wouldn’t be there,” Giuliani said, “if you weren’t killing each other.”
Says it all really. What an ass.

For those saying Mike Brown's family home life is relevant to the moment of murder, here is a little fun treat for you about Darren Wilson's home life

EXCLUSIVE: Darren Wilson and the violent confrontation with his wife's ex-lover: Court documents reveal volatile home life of officer who shot Michael Brown - which grand jury never heard about


-Policeman who shot teenager had previously been involved in violent row at his then girlfriend's ex-partner's house
-Wilson was at the home with Barbara Spradling - woman he has now married - when her ex attacked the policeman, and damaged his car
-Incident was just six months before death of Michael Brown and was followed by bitter ongoing custody dispute between wife and her older ex
-Wilson was still married to his first wife during the incident, which resulted in ex being convicted of three misdemeanors
-Grand jury was not told about his turbulent home life while they decided on his actions in shooting Michael Brown
Wilson married Spradling - a fellow officer - shortly before grand jury decision and they are now expecting first child together

More for his own safety than the interest of justice I suspect.

Shaun 30-11-2014 06:30 AM

The Mayor has announced he's not getting any severance pay , but I thought Wilson did nothing wrong.
