The Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police created a GoFundMe page for the six officers who were charged Friday in the death of Freddie Gray—but it lasted for less than an hour before being removed from the site.
The Fraternal Order of Police, a union representing Baltimore City police officers, set a fundraising goal of $600,000 to pay for the living expenses of the six officers, who were placed on unpaid suspension after they were charged in Gray’s death.
In 41 minutes, the page raised $1,135.
It’s unclear whether GoFundMe deleted the fundraiser set up for the six officers, but the FOP posted on its Facebook page, “Apparently our GoFundMe account has been suspended with no explanation.
We are working to find a new site for donations. Thank you!”..

Go Fund Me supports economic and class inequality.
All are equal before the law, but the greatest inequality in the Western World is inequality in legal representation and being able to finance life while under threat of prosecution from government or when responding to government, corporate or wealthy individual civil action.
A crowd funding site like Go Fund Me could go a long way to fighting this inequality by permitting individuals, through their own decision, to help those being prosecuted by government with near unlimited taxpayer resources or sued by deep pocket corporate, "non-profit" entities or wealthy individuals. But Go Fund Me does not believe an individual or group should be aided in defending themselves from government prosecution or wealthy entity civil claims.
GFM is earning its reputation as a good idea gone bad as leftists show their intolerance. Many examples but this fund raising was
for the support of the families of the officers. Not to mention the clearly liberal political nature of the charges. We need an honest, unbiased alternative to this corrupted concept.
