Probably not even a real PO association. They’re taking donations that go to BLM and Antifa! I had some asshole who kept calling me a few years back to the point of harassment. I always asked a ton of questions to the point he’d get shitty with me. I researched who the group was, they indeed were scammers so I then called a local news reporter who came out to interview me and did a story about it. She was awesome. What had me so pissed is that the elderly and other folks have no idea this is a scam, they watch the local news and needed to know. The scammers would do this every time there was a police shooting that was widely promoted. It would get peoples sympathies to donate.
That's a great idea because I really hate those assholes and their phone calls. I like good police officers (and we all know some) and those "fundraisers" are fake and ghey and probably some money grift.
True story. Yesterday, we got a phone call from the Police Officer's Association or some such, looking for donations.
I interrupted the speaker and asked him directly,
THE NEXT TIME BLM AND ANTIFA BURN, LOOT AND MURDER, ARE THE POLICE GOING TO HELP PROTECT PEOPLE AND THEIR BUSINESSES OR ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE A KNEE?
Pause, then he asked me to repeat my question.
THE NEXT TIME BLM AND ANTIFA BURN, LOOT AND MURDER, ARE THE POLICE GOING TO HELP PROTECT PEOPLE AND THEIR BUSINESSES OR ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE A KNEE?
Pause. Then,
"Okay, I am marking you as 'do not call'..."
At which point I hung up.

That's good to know. If they call again, I'll be asking those kinds of questions. Thanks for sharing that!
