A black activist who said that he's "at war" with bad cops and police corruption joined scores of others in organizing a fundraiser for slain Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Darren Goforth on Sunday, calling Goforth "a good [cop]."
"We're at war with police corruption," Quanell X, leader of the New Black Panther Party in Houston, Texas, told KTRK-TV. "Police brutality, bad cops, not good ones and from everything that we've learned and we've seen, Deputy Goforth was a good one."
The activist — who insisted that he is not at war with all cops — said that the money he raised alongside other activists outside of a Houston Denny's will go to Goforth's family to help with education costs for his children.

"It's important that we send a message that we don't hate all cops, that we love good police officers," Quanell X told KPRC-TV, affirming this sentiment.
A GoFundMe page setup to help Goforth's family has raised nearly $303,000 as of Monday morning.
As TheBlaze previously reported, the uniformed police officer was killed late last month while he was putting fuel in his car at a Texas gas station.
