Michael Brown’s mom taking son’s case to the UN Committee Against Torture Written by Allen West

I just have to put this one down in the “no, this can’t be really happening” category. However, I did everything to examine if this was a hoax but it appears not.

According to Vice News, “Lesley McSpadden, the mother of the 18-year-old boy (Michael Brown) whose death at the hands of a Ferguson police officer in August sparked weeks of protests, is going to Geneva, Switzerland next month to speak about her son and other victims of police brutality in front of the United Nations. Mike Brown’s killing is still under investigation by federal officials, while a local grand jury tasked with deciding whether to charge officer Darren Wilson for his death is supposed to make an announcement any day — with few in Ferguson believing that an indictment is likely. But with little faith in the justice her son will receive, McSpadden, accompanied by one of the family’s lawyers and a handful of local activists and human rights advocates, is taking her son’s case — and that of other victims of racial profiling and police violence — straight to the UN Committee Against Torture, the body tasked with preventing torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment and punishment around the world.”

Just when you think the Brown and the Trayvon families are almost done milking the demises of their thug sons for every penny they can hustle, for every bit of exploitation and for every ounce of self-serving publicity, the Browns have come up with a new one....the UN, indeed!

What can they follow THAT one up with...well, there's always a petition for hanging the police officer without trial that can be circulated world-wide and beamed up to St. Peter at the Golden Gate.

Get lucky? The UN is impotent. The UN and its Geneva bureaucrats have no control over US police departments, or how officers defend themselves.

Useful idiot. My suspicion is this woman probably didn’t even own a passport or know how to go about getting one without the help of these “activists.”

The nature of the evidence doesn't matter.

It's the seriousness of the charge.

It would be interesting to see if this “UN Committee against torture” says anything about these cockroaches.....

If she makes it that far hopefully they sit her down and show her what real torture looks like around the world. They could start with what has been done to our service men in Iraq

ALICE'S WONDERFUL ADVENTURES IN OBAMA-LA-LA-LAND

"Let the jury consider its verdict," the Red King said.

"No, no!" said the Red Queen. "Sentence first - verdict afterward".

"Stuff and nonsense!" said Alice loudly, "The idea of having the sentence first!!!"

"Hold your tongue!" said the Queen, turning purple.

"I won't!" said Alice.

"OFF WITH HER HEAD!" the Queen shouted at the top of her voice.

Nobody moved.

***"OFF WITH HER HEAD!" the Queen shouted ...***

I do not understand how the cops in Ferguson can stand to remain on the job... once the law is done away with they are incapable of doing their job. I think if I were a peace officer in Ferguson I would go out on strike and encourage the rest of the force to do the same [NOT quit and lose their salary and benefits permanently!] ... especially if the officer under investigation is indicted!!!

Obviously these people do not want justice... they want what they want.
