People have come out to support officers Stan North and Oda Poole.They're the officers accused of fatally shooting Mark Barmore at Kingdom Authority Church in August.  North and Poole have a long road ahead of them when it comes to legal proceedings surrounding the case.

            The event's organizers are collecting cash to help out.  The cost is $10 a person at the door and they're selling raffle tickets inside for 10 bucks also.  Items in the raffle include gift certificates, collectables and the big ticket item a police rifle. All the money will go to the officers through the Rockford Police Union and by all the blue ribbons in here, it looks like they all have a lot of support.

“I believe everything they did, they followed procedure. There is no way these officers should be prosecuted the way they're being prosecuted. They haven't been convicted of anything and it's just not fair that police officers don't have the same rights as individuals,” says retired Winnebago County Sheriff’s Deputy Rodney Roop Jr.

            The money raised will go to support three pending lawsuits.  One is criminal and the other two are separate civil suits filed on behalf of the Barmore family and Kingdom Authority Church day care workers.
