Ferguson has become a hot bed of opportunistic left-wing activity.
Amnesty International has sent a “13-person human rights delegation” to the town to “examine” potential human rights abuses, in what they refer to as an “unprecedented” move by deploying in the United States.
Amnesty International USA’s executive director, Steven W. Hawkins declared, “[W]e criticize dictators for quelling dissent and silencing protesters with tactics like curfews, we’ll certainly speak out when it’s happening in our own backyard…”

Many other groups have jumped right in, such as Tauheed Youth Development Life, the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), the Organization for Black Struggle (OBS), the Moorish Science Temple, the Coalition Against Police Crimes and Repression, the Nation of Islam – Mosque 28, and the Universal African Peoples Organization (UAPO).

Watch this local news report about a takeover of a press conference, where New Black Panther Party leader Hashim Nzinga ranted that President Obama is from Kenya, calling him a “Mau Mau” (around the 4:09 minute mark).Nzinga was also quoted as saying in regard to Ferguson,
The Black male is being exterminated…The ones who are not being exterminated, they’re pushing them to be gay and fags so they won’t be productive on reproducing babies. This is about genocide.
And, it wouldn’t be a proper police bashing festival without the Socialist Workers Party, and uh… these guys.

Believe it or not, even Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, got in on the action:
Brutal treatment of black ppl isn’t indeed the only anti-human rights act by US govt;look at US’s green light to #Israel’s crimes. #Ferguson — Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) August 15, 2014
Poor Ferguson.
