Mother of Richard Risher, killed by LAPD, speaks out against BLM leaders – Everything Law and Order Blog

A number of parents of Black children slain by police, including the mothers of Tamir Rice and Richard Risher, have accused the Black Lives Matter Global Network and certain BLM leaders of raising money from their children’s deaths without distributing that money to victims’ families. In this episode of “Rattling the Bars,” TRNN Executive Producer Eddie Conway discusses these allegations with Lisa Simpson, the mother of Richard Risher. Risher was killed by LAPD officers in 2016.

Editor’s Note: Please find below links to an official statement from Simpson and Samaria Rice, as well as an article from The Root detailing what appears to be a response to the allegations from BLM activist and Until Freedom founder Tamika Mallory.

  1. Any time a community group starts raising money there has to be 100% financial transparency from the get go or some people will start grifting…. it's just human nature and only the most principled people can resist the temptation when there's little or no accountability. I just listened to Cat Brooks giving Melina Abdullah a platform to spin her side of this story and it was disgraceful and sure enough APTP has been raising alot of money too but has absolutely no transparency about how much and what for. hmmmm….. Can't let this bullshit derail the movement to end state violence and the prison industrail complex and to put our public funds at the service of community health and well being.

  2. Im from san bernardino i was locked up with him duceline rich we use walk around san bernardino together we was locked up in san bernardino together multiple Times 900 east Gilbert st central juvenile hall and we was locked up in apple valley juvenile hall too high desert juvenile hall HDJAC

  3. This just hurts my heart. As a mother who has lost a son, my heart aches to hear this mother having to deal with all of this crap while grieving for her son. This isn’t right. Someone needs to step in and help this woman.

  4. When one is vulnerable and abused by the police folks feel so alone they'll take help from anyplace. We need a grassroots honest legal organization to deal with this problem. When it gets political and money starts flowing the larceny gets thick. The fight for justice should be free from self-serving opportunism.

  5. Its sad to see this but what you call united states is not a shit united !!! All states have difrent laws and no one respect the constitution just to work around it !!!! Today is not more difrent than in the end of year 1800 !!! All is the same as the wild West Shout first and ask question later !!!

  6. Wow! She has a point – money corrupts absolutely. BLM has not explained those 4 houses purchased by the founder with BLM donations to benefit herself.

  7. After being so wronged, by her own people, she still carries herself with dignity. Prime example of rising above the one's that have done you dirty.

  8. l am sorry for the loss of the son.
    The woman that took the money and ran is a thief and despicable human being.
    l do not believe anyone should blame the BLM movement for that animal's behavior.

  9. Stop supporting black people…. And support the white people who don't give a fuck 🤷 the same white people who want get out the house when black people die 🤷 the same white people who make way more money off of dead black people than BLM 🤷 and the white people who run the city/state and won't pay for your dead son 🤷 because the city will not pay or help

  10. This woman should give this video to the IRS to prevent them from robbing people in the future. They need to be prosecuted. Con artists. Shame on them.
