(CNN) -- The parents of Michael Brown, a Missouri teen killed by police, testified before a U.N. committee Tuesday because they want the world to know "what's going on in Ferguson."

Lesley McSpadden and Michael Brown Sr. spoke to the United Nations Committee Against Torture -- which also works against cruel or degrading treatment or punishment by government authorities.

"We need the world to know what's going on in Ferguson and we need justice," McSpadden told CNN in Geneva, Switzerland.

"We need answers and we need action. And we have to bring it to the U.N. so they can expose it to the rest of the world, what's going on in small town Ferguson."

10. I think they're being ''handled'' by headquarters (heh).

- I believe its more of a KKK-like online ''fundraising'' identity in Missouri now.

Ironically, I never thought I'd live long enough to see the KKK worry over their reputation being tarnished by racist but fake and scammy KKKers. As opposed to the actual racist and scammy KKKers.

4. War Profiteers...Thats What Happened

If you're not actively opposing war both abroad and at home then you are doing nothing. Hillary needs to take her fondness for killing and incarceration and get the Hell out of Dodge.

5. bilhicks76 I totally agree with you,

but I believe your post was meant for a different thread.

7. Well There Is A War Being Waged At Home Here

And Ferguson is like a thousand other US cities. It needs to be pointed out that the motif exists not only on the poor people we are murdering across the world to enrich the 1% who will surely go to the Hell they believe in for doing so. Thats why she is at the UN. Its symbolic. And any leader participating in this culling or even staying silent about it need to be held accountable. Thats why I bring up Hillary...all energy needs to be focused on tossing her in the trash bin of history before the neoconning scam perpetuates itself further. Jeb Bush??? Hillary Clinton??? Are people crazy? Talk about wanting to extinguish the last burning coals of Hope & Change!!!! Thats what this is really about...its a psychological front in the war on all people. They KNOW an election of these two crony nepotistic family dynasties will make people just give up and accept their servitude. But they also fear the people and know what can happen very quickly as history has shown. They almost have complete control given the new technology but it aint over yet.

8. The Clintons Are Surrogates For The Bush Family

They serve them and have been rewarded....even quoted as being honorary members of that family. How can that not repulse everyone...and its relevant to this thread because Michael Brown has to go to the UN because her representatives here like Hillary say nothing and could care less...except if its to hoodwink more votes to serve herself.

14. I see where your coming from, I apologize.

6. I hope the U.N. Committee takes a real close look at Bob McCulloch's

kangaroo court justice in St. Louis County writ large. WTF? That guy has got to recuse himself NOW.
