GoFundMe Removes Campaign Supporting South Carolina Officer Charged with Murdering Unarmed Black Man Empty GoFundMe Removes Campaign Supporting South Carolina Officer Charged with Murdering Unarmed Black Man

The popular crowd-funding service GoFundMe removed a page Wednesday seeking to raise money for a white South Carolina police officer charged with fatally shooting an unarmed black man.

Officer Michael Slager, 33, was charged with first-degree murder for killing 50-year-old Walter Scott after graphic video footage surfaced of the fatal encounter.

Slager is shown shooting Scott multiple times in the back as he attempted to flee the scene. The video also shows Slager apparently planting a taser next to Scott’s body.

An anonymous user created the fundraising page, titled the “Michael T. Slager Support Fund,” to ensure Slager has “the opportunity to a fair trial.”

“After review by our team, the campaign set up for Officer Slager was removed from GoFundMe due to a violation of our Terms and Conditions,” Kelsea Little, a GoFundMe spokesperson, told ThinkProgress.

After seeing the video footage of what this guy did I'm not surprised that this was withdrawn

Seems his name is Kelsea Little. There were some three or four days before the video came to light, when there was a justiciable question about Slager feeling threatened before he pulled the trigger.

The North Charleston PD was pushing that story until they got slapped with the New York Times story.
