A breakdown:
Per the financial statement, individual amounts given averaged around $30.70.
Hence, if every donation was $30, that means the 8-year-old group received 3,000,000 donations — spread evenly across one year, 8,219 contributions/day.
As revealed by the report, ten percent of the donations were recurring.
And now, some folks are
insisting on a cut.
As reported by The Daily Caller, activists from Ferguson, Missouri say BLM should pony up $20 million buckaroos.
You may recall Ferguson erupted in 2014 following the police-shooting death of unarmed teen Michael Brown.
Here’s History.com with a summary:
There are many different accounts of the incident, including the testimonies of [Officer Darren Wilson] and of Brown’s friend, Dorian Johnson, who was with Brown at the time. Many details differ, but most accounts agree that Wilson saw Brown and Johnson walking in the street, demanded they get on the sidewalk, then stopped his police SUV in front of them in order to confront them. He and Brown had an altercation through the open window of the car, during which Wilson fired twice. Brown and Johnson tried to leave, Wilson exited his car to pursue them, and at some point Brown turned back around to face Wilson, who then fired 12 shots, six of which hit Brown. Wilson claimed he fired in self-defense as Brown charged him, which Johnson denied. Many have claimed that Wilson warned Brown he would open fire, and that Brown responded with “Don’t shoot!” before he was killed.
