Next month, Lesley McSpadden will travel to the Swiss city to seek justice for her own son Michael Brown.
The mother of an unarmed black 18-year-old shot and killed by a white policeman in Ferguson, Missouri is to take her son’s case to the United Nations in Geneva.
Accompanied by family lawyers and human rights activists, Lesley McSpadden will travel to the Swiss city next month to testify on her own son Michael Brown, shot by Officer Darren Wilson this August in Feguson, Missouri, and other victims of police violence, to the UN Committee of Torture.
"It's actually covered by article one of the convention against torture," Justin Hansford, a law professor at Saint Louis University and co-author of a brief to the UN body filed by Brown's family and local activists, told VICE News. "When the government has all the guns, all the force, and when they can kill people with impunity and without fear of being found guilty of a crime, that's a classic example of state violence."(continued)

More of the obama surrender of American sovereignty to the UN agenda.
How can one testify in court to that which they did not witness?
But I thought's what the Left wanted.
Maybe that store clerk can hitch a ride with her. The “gentle giant” earned his dirtnap.
“When the government has all the guns, all the force, and when they can kill people with impunity and without fear of being found guilty of a crime, that’s a classic example of state violence.”

That’s true, but it has nothing to do with America.
Well, I don’t know about this case...
The LEO could have been in fear for his life, on the other hand... Cops kill hundreds every year with impunity and are never held to account for it. They have squandered any benefit of the doubt that they might have once had. BTW, they kill more white folks than blacks...
If this LEO killed this teenager because he was pissed at him and he felt disrespected, he needs to hang by the neck until dead. I don’t think we will ever know.
The socialist world never gets tired of ramping up their hatred of America.
I’m sure that will be utterly riveting.
Oh, good gravy!
*drink*
MB’s pari’s need to be brought up on Civil Rights charges for doing such a pi$$ p00r job of the edumacation of their offspring.
Is he a bastard?
Thugly Americans European Vacation
That's my question. She didn't see/hear/feel anything first hand. What exactly does she plan to give testimony to? "He was a good boy"???
Maybe she will play the video of the gentle giant’s strong armed robbery at the meeting
When does the little store clerk get to speak in Geneva?
Was?
“Has anyone informed her that Geneva is full of White people?”
It’s full of rich, white, gun owning people.
Well, since blacks only make up 12% of the population, I would hope so.
