Victim

What happened:

Jeff Roorda has helped with the fundraising for Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who was under investigation for the controversial killing of Michael Brown, and Roorda repeatedly publicly defended Wilson. Roorda demanded an apology from the NFL following a public display of protest by several members of the St. Louis Rams. Late in 2015 a controversial book by Roorda, Ferghanistan: The War on Police, was released with a “generous” portion of the profits promised to Wilson. Roorda in July 2016 was sharply criticized by the Ethical Society of Police, Alder Cara Spencer, and others for an incendiary graphic and remarks about the shooting of officers in Dallas.


Outcome:

Roorda is known for making incendiary and ignorant comments around race and social justice issues.
