Another member of the team in the carving resorted to an “any means necessary” approach to keep his seat which resulted in a maximum run through the “hands up, don't shoot” deception.
The top of the ballot wasn't the only place the Democratic Party was struggling to show unity, as the upcoming primary threatened to oust another sitting member from the Capitol. With Missouri Rep. Cori Bush's race in Washington, DC on the line, the leftist took aim at her equally progressive opponent with the endorsement of the father of the deceased Michael Brown.
Joining Bush for a 30-second spot, Michael Brown Sr. and her daughter appeared in an ad calling for the St. Louis, Wesley Bell, who had once promised to bring justice for the family after 18-year-old Brown had been. killed in 2014 by then-officer Darren Wilson.
“After my son's murder, Wesley Bell vowed to seek justice for my family,” the father said as his daughter added ahead of the 10th anniversary of Brown's death: “My brother deserved justice “.
In two weeks it will be the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown's death.
His family deserves responsibility for his murder. We fought for it. They were promised. And that promise was broken.
His still grieving family deserves this platform to share their story. pic.twitter.com/6pOxXT58L7

As it had been previously reported when attorney Benjamin Crump tried to take advantage of what would have been Brown's 27th birthday in May 2023, a community note detailed: “The Justice Department's investigation into Brown's death found evidence consistent with the statement of the officer that Brown attacked the officer in his car and later lunged at the officer. Witnesses largely testified that Brown was not shot while his hands were raised.”
That didn't stop vouching family members from complaining that Bell's own five-month review of the incident in which he had considered manslaughter and murder charges resulted in no police in what the lawyer had referred to as “one of the most significant”. moments in the history of Sant Lluís”.
“I feel like he lied to us,” Brown Sr. said. “He never brought charges against the killer. He never walked the streets of Ferguson with me. He failed to reform the office. He used my family for power and now he's trying to sell out St. Louis. He doesn't care about us “.
“Cori Bush yes,” her daughter added before Bush was seen standing next to her, approving the message.
Meanwhile, after New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a member of the team, lost his June 25 primary to Westchester County Executive George Latimer, Bell had secured a significant endorsement against the incumbent before the primaries of August 6.
Published Thursday, the editorial board of St. Louis Post-Dispatch endorsed lawyer, blasted the Hamas-sympathizing Bush for talking and not acting, as they cited how her “almost immediate induction into the House's small cabal of progressive tourists positioned her as a darling of activists in left fringe and therefore irrelevant to what's really going on in Washington.”
“Bell,” the board continued, “…came out of the same Ferguson protest movement that Bush did and promotes mostly the same progressive stances. But he actually leads the way, being elected to the Ferguson City Council as a result of protests and works for police reforms, such as body cameras and external investigations into allegations of police brutality.”
It also noted that “Bell has worked with the police rather than vilified them and has significantly increased homicide prosecutions over his predecessor. He has shown that a more progressive approach to law enforcement does not have to mean rejecting the very concept of law enforcement”.
According to a survey reported by early July, Bush was trailing Bell by 23 points. His use of family for his political aspirations was criticized on social media.
One more thing, the fact that you are using this grieving family and filling them with lies is disgusting, and it is even more disgusting that you are doing it as a political ploy to try to avoid being pressed. What a shame!

You must be kidding.
Shame on you for using the Brown family for cheap political points.
The shooting of Michael Brown was extensively investigated. Even the Obama administration exonerated the police from wrongdoing.
His.
