If you're unfamiliar with the practice, fringe left groups frequently employ paid protesters in these astroturf 'uprisings' like Ferguson and Baltimore. The idea is to obtain through extortion and threats what they cannot get done legitimately through elections, and finagle through the courts. Obama was a street rabble rouser for one such organization- ACORN. Well, now an organization that grew out of the rotting stump of ACORN (Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE)) has stiffed its paid protesters according to several of its paid actors who have been posing as "protesters": Read more: www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/may/19/hired-black-lives-matter-protesters-start-cutthech/#ixzz3aiqHord6 Follow us: @washtimes on Twitter

And here is the statement: On May 14, 2015 many individuals and organizations of the protest movement that began in Ferguson, Missouri organized a sit-in in the office of Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE). The demand was simple: Cut the checks.
Early in the movement, non-profit organization MORE, formerly known as the St. Louis chapter of ACORN, and local St. Louis organization Organization for Black Struggle created a joint account in which national donors from all over the world have donated over $150,000 to sustain the movement. Since then, the poor black [sic] of this movement who served as cash generators to bring money into St. Louis have seen little to none of that money. Furthermore, since the influx of funding has started, poor black people continue to take to the streets all the while losing their homes, vehicles, ability to feed themselves and their families, and suffering from trauma and mental illness with no ability to afford quality mental health services. Questions have been raised as to how the movement is to sustain when white non-profits are hoarding monies collected of off [sic] black bodies? When we will [sic] hold the industry of black suffering accountable? The people of the community are fed up and the accountability begins here and now.
This isn’t about MORE. This is about black lives in the Black Lives Matter movement who are literally broke and starving. There is an insidious strand of racism and white supremacy that exists in this movement and it is called the Non-Profit Industrial Complex. As a by-product, it provides decent salaries and comfort to many people who are not affected by the disparities that they are trying to address. This money is typically in the hands of white people who oversee the types of services that the non-profit provides, while having select token black people to spearhead the conversations within and to the community.
We NEED to be thinking about justice for black people. This means white people must renounce their loyalty to the social normalcy that maintains white power and control. If black lives really matter, justice and self-determination for black people would mean the black community would control it’s [sic] own political and economic resources.
It is asinine to believe that black people can continue to organize and take to the street when they can barely meet their basic needs. In St. Louis, organizers and protesters depleted $50,000 of the available funds and dispersed it among the people in the movement in no particular order. Jeff Ordower, executive director of MORE, stated that another $57,000 is expected in the next one to two weeks in which those funds will also be dispersed to the black people in the movement.
Moving forward, we are building a board of accountability within this movement. We must funnel economic into this movement through the hands of black people who are fighting with and for black life. More on this board will be discussed as we develop.

So if you read the material presented, you will see that there was a claim that protesters were to be paid a monthly salary but then were not. It claims protests were held for them 'cut the check' for these payments. But when you read what the protesters say the protests were about, you see it was not about direct paychecks but rather that funds raised do not benefit those directly affected adequately.

So, what was the point of eventually violating the CoC and posting the entire article PLUS the statement?

I think the police should step back, let the community control itself, and see what happens. If they want to shoot each other up and it's only those with guns shooting at each other, don't they have the right to make that decision as responsible adults? So who are the police to state that gang banger A can't shoot gang banger B? now if the police want to go into other areas and protect businesses that should be fine because the business' request their protection. But obviously the people in the inner cities don't. So the cops should just stay away from the inner cities.
Happy now ACORN? Now you won't have to pay rioters

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

So, what was the point of eventually violating the CoC and posting the entire article PLUS the statement? The CoC wasn't violated. It's fine to post a complete article if the article is relatively short. If, however, the article is so long posters must scroll through it to get to the next post, an excerpt should be posted and a link provided leading to the complete article. My rule of thumb is: If the article fills the entire page, it needs to be excerpted. If, on the other hand, I can see, at least, some of the post following the post in question, it's fine. I don't magnify my screen. It's set for 100% only on a 24" monitor. Hope that clears things up about copy/pasting articles. mmhmm, Administrator

If you're unfamiliar with the practice, fringe left groups frequently employ paid protesters in these astroturf 'uprisings' like Ferguson and Baltimore.
