NAACP: Michael Brown Shooting 'Front and Center' at the United Nations
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | August 13, 2014 | Charlie Spiering

U.S. civil rights advocates aired their concerns about the recent Michael Brown shooting to the United Nations in Geneva, according to a press call from the organizations on Wednesday.

“This issue was front and center,” Hilary O. Shelton, director of the NAACP Washington Bureau, explained during the call.

According to Shelton, Trayvon Martin’s mother Sabrina Fulton and Jordan Davis’s father Ron Davis told their stories about losing their teenage children in shootings in each of the pre-briefings of the process.

“I think that everyone was outraged and horrified to hear that, yet again, it had happened in St. Louis, Missouri,” he said.

The group of activists presented to a U.N. panel in Geneva, Switzerland, documenting their concerns of U.S. compliance with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) treaty.

Hillary also pointed out that U.N. delegates at the hearing made a point of asking the U.S. delegation about African-Americans being “disportionately targeted” by law enforcement....

“They’re trying to get the U.N. involved??

Why not? The UN has gained almost complete control over virtually every aspect of your life right now through the almost two decades of steady implementation of UN Agenda 21 / Sustainable Development. Haven’t seen much objection to that yet so why object to them going to the UN now?

I heard that yesterday afternoon on Michael Berry, I don’t remember where he got it from but there apparently are witnesses that pretty much support the cop.

Have someone 6’3” 300# go “Trayvon” on you then come back at you for more, you better be scared for your life.

I wonder how many “unarmed” blacks are shot by cops versus how many blacks are shot by other black people.

1000 to 1? 10,000 to 1? maybe 100,000 to 1?

Talk about ridiculously displaced priorities.

What can, or will the U.N. do? A toothless organization that takes our money, and spews venom at us.

They’ll just spew more venom, and want more money for doing so.

I would love to see the UN compound razed, and have it replaced by the world’s largest Super Wal-Mart!

When do we get to hear the officer's side of it?

(not that it'll matter to the race baiters, looters and hustlers who could not care less about Michael Brown).

CNN said that the officer had been hit and suffered swelling on the side of his face. He was taken to a hospital and released the same day.

Are you kidding??

The UN hates Christians and Jews so no big deal about the Middle East.

Ukraine is a bunch of whites vs whites.....no big deal.

Ferguson, MZ is black v white....now that's important. More so because a white cop shot a black dude. Now that's a crisis for the UN to solve.

Anything to continue the undermining and eventual destruction of America.
