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.”

Seriously, Geneva must be sooo lovely this time of year.
UN needs to stay out of Maine!
Who is paying for this???
the real torture here is to have to hear over and over that a criminal thug who tried to steal a cops gun away and kill him with it is some kind of victim.
Better yet take it to Jane Goodall
Free hotel, limo, the finest restaurants. TV cameras everywhere. Life is good.
Who do you think. This is the crap that is destroying this nation. These so-called peaceful people that have issues when their thug punk son gets himself killed because he thought he was going to mess with the law. Well all fingers point that he was wrong. Shouldn’t be put stealing if he was this so-called gentle giant.
That poor cop, Officer Wilson. I’d love to know what he’s thinking and feeling. After this is all over, I hope he writes a book.
In her defense, listening to ‘Reverend’ Al race bait can be torture.
Oh, wait...
It is probably coming from some of Obama's stash.
I’m sure many are reading this for the first time.
What torture? Michael Brown was shot, he bled out, and was dead rather quickly, so the period of pain was probably quite short, and may not have been noticed since Michael was so doped up with THC, which distorts reality so wonderfully.
Some 95% of the personal woe in this world is self-induced.
Obama will have to "allow" armed UN Blue Helmet police stationed in and around, Ferguson to "protect" Negro yutes from the po lice.
Worth repeating no doubt.
It’s torture to listen to this crap.
Really ..?? Just what evidence does she have, that would cause her to believe her son was TORTURED ..??
Uh-oh, Mr. West! You are a racist.....calling a black man, "boy"!
