“The Secretary-General calls on the authorities to ensure that the rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression are protected,” U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
“He calls on all to exercise restraint, for law enforcement officials to abide by U.S. and international standards in dealing with demonstrators,” Dujarric said.
HAH! He calls for "restraint" by the cops!
Is this guy a stand-up comedian or what?
Expecting the cops to "exercise restraint".
The only way cops in America exercise restraint is when using a chokehold on somebody selling untaxed cigarettes.
America doesn't respect any stinkin international standards when it comes to its commoners. We're lucky to live in this, the "Most Bestest of All Countries, Evah" so we can just shut up and like it.
Just do as the cops tell you - immediately - and life should seem pretty normal after a few months of it.
Seriously, America's police have been allowed to turn Ferguson into some 3rd-World backwater run by an out-of-control despot and which requires the United Fucking Nations to issue a call to protect the most vulnerable of people of the World's Policeman.
It is unclear at this point in time how many more innocent people American police will kill before necessary and essential changes are put in place: stripping police departments of their war toys, their stylish military clothing, their military rifles, and so forth. All their recreational vehicles too.
Fixing America's cop problem isn't difficult, like algebra or science: it is going to be savagely resisted as the Powers That BE in this country WANT THINGS EXACTLY THIS WAY.
No cop is going to listen to anything from the UN.
