Discussion for article #227038
As if the RWNJ’s don’t hate the UN enough already?
“The U.N.'s Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD)
reviewed America’s treatment of minorities and found that minorities, in
particular African Americans, are discriminated against, Reuters
reported.”
You Think ?
Well, obviously those foreigners at the UN don’t appreciate American Exceptionalism nor understand The American Way of Life.
The police has a big role to play to bring to an end of the racial discrimination in the US. We hope, on the backdrop of the MO incident everybody in the society will behave in a civic manner.
We should be embarrassed and ashamed.
They are pretty much doing the opposite at the moment.
Reform will never come from behind the Thin Blue Line - it’s going to have to be from the top down. There have to be new laws about accountability, wearing cameras, and following procedures to the letter, with stiff and meaningful penalties for those who break the law from within.
I am not holding my breath - like increasing gun violence, I think the trend of police militarization and continuing racism is pretty much here to stay as the economic vise tightens.
OTOH, the UN is spot on.
Most likely, that kind of UN microscope is what causes manufactured conniptions among the lesser beings.
Who the fuck is the world police to call out THE WORLD POLICE?
I don’t think it has anything to do with the economy. Or vises, for that matter. Save the vice of “White Powrrrrr!!!”
In what country does deciding guilt in advance translate into credibility? Based on the conjecture used in his statement, this clown must be from some 3rd world hell-hole where the dictator decides guilt rather than a court system.
Anyone who buys this garbage is a fool.
Dear TPM,
There’s no reason to put an initialism in parentheses after a spelled-out name if you don’t use it later in the article.
Why does TPM hate copy editors?
Because North Korea and the UN call us out for brutality? Nah. When Israel is concerned about US brutality against minorities, then we’ll know there’s a problem
I took great joy in banning you for for 10,000 days. Thank you.
