Mike Brown’s Mom Is Taking Her Son’s Case to the UN in Geneva

The mother of 18-year-old Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager shot to death by a police officer during an altercation in Ferguson, Mo., is going to Geneva, Switzerland to address the United Nations on police brutality.

Never mind that the investigation into the incident is ongoing, and it has yet to be determined that Officer Darren Wilson is guilty of any such brutality.

In fact, according to The Washington Post, Justice Department investigators “have all but concluded they do not have a strong enough case to bring civil rights charges against Darren Wilson.”

Nevertheless, Lesley McSpadden will be in Switzerland next month to talk about her son and other victims of police brutality, according to Vice News.

McSpadden was in the news last week when she was involved in a physical altercation with other family members, including Brown’s grandmother, who were selling swag bearing his name from a parking lot.

It’s like a good portion of humanity has completely lost its grip on reality.

Never mind that there is no evidence of police brutality... but lots of evidence of Michael Brown’s brutality.

Maybe she was inspired by that song that claims there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues: “I’m gonna take my problem to the United Nations.”

Will they invite the owner of the store he robbed minutes before his death? Will they invite the owner of the store they burned out afterward?

Who cares that there’s no beef here. It smells like beef and that’s all they care about at the Untied Nations.
