UN urges US to tamp down use of force by officers in Portland, warns of ‘human rights violations’

[Steve-French]

“There have been reports that peaceful protesters have been detained by unidentified police officers and that is a worry because it may place those detained outside the protection of the law and may give rise to arbitrary detention and other human rights violations,” Liz Throssell, a U.N. human rights spokeswoman, said at a news briefing in Geneva on Friday.

Police said crowds of people have thrown Molotov cocktails, lit fires in parks and in trash cans and released hundreds of gallons of water from fire hydrants during the nightly protests, which have been going on for nearly two months following the death of George Floyd in May.

So the federal government stepping in after billions of dollars of damage being done is a human rights violation, but yet they are silent about all of the shit that goes on in China? That doesn't make sense at all.

I can't imagine it's very hard to find these rioters mug shots and arrest information.

When they stick it to china, india, pakistan, middle east with vicious and merciless impunity, then they can come at the free world about riots etc.

Destroying a city isn’t a human right.

I'll just patiently wait for them to TutTut all the other major countries that are far worse than the us on arresting people before I take them seriously, thanks.

Jesus flipped our their tables and told them to leave the place of worship, he didn't try to firebomb them

Yeah, it's not like Jesus didn't have a history of destroying entire cities.

Maybe you're thinking of Gengis Khan?

UN calls out lots of countries.

Recently called Australia out for being able to hold 10 year olds criminally responsible.

How the fuck don't all you people know this???

Never happened.

He beat the crap out of them.


Even Jesus knows that sometimes the solution is a good ass kicking.
