Ferguson Protesters Now Protesting Over Not Getting Paid
At least some of the protesters who looted, rioted, burned buildings and overturned police cars in Ferguson, Missouri, last year were promised payment of up to $5,000 per month to join the protests.
However, when the Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), the successor group to the now-bankrupt St. Louis branch of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), stiffed the protesters, they launched a sit-in protest at the headquarters of MORE and created a Twitter page to demand their money, the Washington Times reports.
Presidential candidate and former Rep. Allen B. West, R-Fl., noted on his website, "Instead of being thankful for getting off the unemployment line for a few weeks and having a little fun protesting, the paid rioters who tore up Ferguson, MO, are protesting again.
"First of all, can you even imagine getting paid $5,000.00 a month for running around holding a sign and burning down an occasional building? That's around $1,250.00 per week. Try making that at McDonalds or Starbucks."

So it looks like instead of being outraged over what occurred, people were paid to feign outrage in order to increase tensions (imo). I am curious how many other protests were shams as well in order to push a false agenda in some of the other incidents, like Boston and in places like Ohio.
$5,000 to cause hate, discontent and to destroy property.

Ask your self when's the last time you heard of national press discuss a white man or Hispanic shot by police it happens.Then ask yourself why is it treated diffrent and you have your answer.
Being dumb enough to believe the "Hands up, don't shoot" false narrative, tells educated people all they need to know about these bottom dwellers.
