Michael Brown’s mother could soon have oversight over the police department connected to her son’s death, if voters in Ferguson, Missouri, elect her to the City Council.
Lesley McSpadden, 39, is among three candidates running in Ferguson’s 3rd Ward on Tuesday. She faces incumbent Keith Kallstrom and Fran Griffin, who has been active on several boards in the St. Louis suburb, where two-thirds of the 21,000 residents are black. […]
“I wanted to go back and do something right in a place that did something so very wrong to my son, and I think that’s what my son would want as well,” McSpadden said in an interview with The Associated Press. […]
Police accountability will be a top priority if she’s elected, McSpadden said.
“I think they should work much harder to prove that they are there to protect and serve, because no one believed that in August 2014 and people are still skeptical,” she said. …

Her son is dead because she failed to raise him right, and that’s on her.
She probably discovered enough gullible idiot liberals with a lot of checks to wright. Could be a yearly fund drive.
You either support thugs or you support law enforcement. She’s hoping her community loves thugs as much as she loved her son.
Sounds about right. Let the lunatics run the asylum.
“..in a place that did something so very wrong to my son”
Stay away from that place. It’s deadly.
If she doesn’t win, she could give parenting lessons instead.
Isn’t she the thing that bitch slapped her mother in law over a fight for merchandise money they were making off Brown?

Why yes. Yes she is the one.
She’ll neuter law enforcement, crime will spike, and she’ll wonder how that happened.
Michael Brown was 18 in 2014 so he was born in 1996. McSpadden is 39 in 2019 so she was born in 1980. She was 16 when he was born, no much more than a child. I think I see a big part of the problem here.
Ah, still batting 1.000 on the mismatched surname front, I see.
Dayy be MUNNY in pollatiks!!
Dat be “poly-ticks”. (As in “many bloodsuckers”.)
But being the unwed underage mother of a thug and bully, whose "baby-daddy" also beat and bullied her, whose son got shot after robbing a convenience store... this clearly qualifies her for public service, right??
Well, apparently it does, in Ferguson MO.
(His father, famous for his "Burn this bitch down" comment, is 3 years older... so 18 and 15... meaning he may have been guilty of statutory rape, depending on what Missouri law was in 1995. Maybe he should be Governor.)

Good arithmetic. But, you’re acting white.
Hands Up! if you want her to run.
Exactly. That's the kind of thing dems reward.
