Based on public records, King, who is 41 years old, relocated earlier this year from a high-end two-bedroom apartment in downtown Brooklyn to a spacious five-bedroom, 3,000 square foot property in North Brunswick, NJ. This new property features “a backyard by the lake” and a deluxe kitchen.
The property, which was purchased by King-Tonicia Rai, an educator and Ph.D. Candidate, for $842,000 in November 2020, is surrounded by tall, lush trees.
King has raised money for several criminal justice initiatives, including initiatives aimed at addressing the lack of transparency. Throughout his years, King has faced allegations of engaging in shady dealings in his charitable efforts and has been plagued by these allegations.
Activists and fellow police have repeatedly raised questions about the leadership of King’s, where donations have been asked to go. He worked to raise cash for the families of black men killed by police, as well as for orphans from Haiti, providing everything.
Samaria Rice, whose 12-year-old son Tamir was fatally shot by police in Cleveland in November 2014, criticized King on social media for accusing him of collecting money in her deceased son’s name without her consent and even questioning his racial background as a person of African American or mixed race heritage.
In a recent Instagram post directed at King, she expressed her confusion about how he can sleep peacefully at night. She accused him, along with the United States, of being responsible for the loss of her son and stated that she never authorized him to take any action.
Rice, who leads a foundation named after her son, expressed, “Divine intervention will address you as a self-absorbed and egotistical individual.”
In 2017, King established the Real Justice political action committee alongside former Black Lives Matter leader Patrisse Cullors, who stepped down from BLM a month after The Post exposed her purchase of over $3 million worth of properties in the United States.
According to the organization’s website, the federal political action committee (PAC) received over $3.2 million between 2019 and 2020 with the aim of supporting the election of progressive district attorneys nationwide who are dedicated to combating systemic racism.
As per a report, Real Justice distributed $460,000 in “consulting” payments to three businesses: Social Practice LLC, Bernal Alto LLC, and Middle Seat Consulting LLC, all of which are managed by certain individuals from the political action committee, including treasurer Rebecca Bond. Out of that sum of money.
As per the Federal Election Commission, these payments were issued from 2017 to 2020. Additional PAC payments comprised of $46,330 to Janaya and Patrisse Consulting, a company operated by Cullors and her spouse Janaya Khan.
Engaging in play with a toy firearm while Rice experienced being shot a short time ago in Ferguson, Missouri, by a Caucasian law enforcement officer, who lost his life at the hands of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old, during the shooting incident that occurred in August of 2014, King commenced his journey as an advocate after his involvement in Bernie Sanders’ bid for the presidency. King, a former journalist and a father of five, embarked on this path.
In 2015, the Justice Together coalition was launched to assist in raising awareness about police brutality and supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, following the occurrence of two shootings by the police.
According to a public letter published on “Medium” by former members, King’s “lack of responsibility” led him to swiftly leave the group.
“The former members stated that he failed to discuss or delegate anything of importance within the organization. He also repeatedly failed to meet his own deadlines for work and was removed from volunteering due to his self-proclaimed paranoia. Additionally, he silenced any dissenting opinions, resulting in unproductive discussions.”
During the summer of 2015, despite its dissolution, his organization called “Justice, That’s All” continued to collect monthly payments from donors, according to a woman who used to contribute $50 per month to another organization established by King.
In 2018, the donor, Javachik, posted on Twitter, “I simply wished to inquire about the utilization of the funds that were automatically donated.” However, when she directly questioned King on Twitter, he prevented her from contacting him. “Subsequently, my social media notifications were inundated with individuals labeling me as racist, a derogatory term, and so on, for the following month.”
Emails and phone calls to King, his spouse, and representatives of the media were unanswered.
