A state attorney general in New York says that the Black Lives Matter Foundation must immediately stop seeking donations from New Yorkers who believe the organization is affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement.
The foundation is a California-based company that is not registered in New York as a charitable organization, which makes it illegal to collect donations from inside the state, New York Attorney General Letitia James said Monday.
“Every organization that seeks to solicit donations from New Yorkers must follow state laws. We will also fight for transparency so that donors’ goodwill isn’t preyed upon by opportunists," James also said. “The Black Lives Matter Foundation failed to register or file any financial documents with the state, and therefore, has failed to provide New Yorkers with information on how their donations will be used."

BLM Foundation is supposed to be trying to bring blacks and police and community together.

from link: Although the names are similar, the organizations have very different stances on police relations. While the Black Lives Matter movement has advocated for the “national defunding of the police” and reinvestment of money into Black community resources, Barnes’ foundation (BLM Foundation) wants to “help bring the police and the community closer together in an effort to save lives.”
OK, so let's be clear: this targets the "Black Lives Matter FOUNDATION", which the AG asserts is probably not connected with the BLM, and is not registered in NY as a charitable organization. She is not telling Black Lives Matter to cease solicitations in New York.
Black Lives Matter care NOTHING for black lives as evidence of all the shootings of other blacks!!
