Protesters Seek United Nations Probe of Wisconsin Shooting
ABC News ^ | April 6, 2015 | By TODD RICHMOND

Madison, WI - A group of protesters called Monday for the United Nations to conduct an independent investigation of a white Wisconsin police officer who killed an unarmed biracial man because they feel the U.S. government can't be trusted.

Members of Young, Gifted and Black along with 19-year-old Tony Robinson's family held a news conference in front of the Dane County courthouse to call on the U.N.'s Human Rights Council to investigate Robinson's death last month.

They added they don't have faith that any U.S. government agency could conduct an objective probe because it's all one prejudiced system.

Protesters took to the streets daily during the week immediately following the shooting, likening the incident to police killing black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City over the last year.

Does anyone have any stats about the number of whites murdered by blacks over the past twenty years? Or don’t we keep those kind of stats?

Facts are racist.
Stick to the narrative and you can play with the cool kids.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I believe that the FBI stopped tracking those numbers because they were so glaringly obvious.

“How many more?!”

I don’t know. How many are left? How much ammo do we have?

“They added they don’t have faith that any U.S. government agency could conduct an objective probe because it’s all one prejudiced system. “

They are saying that Obama and Holder are prejudiced?

Funny thing about this is that the majority of old graying lefties that run Madison have absolutely no idea why they are being attacked by the new era lefties.

Quite hilarious to watch.

The fact of the matter is that this kid was high on hallucinogenic mushrooms at the time of the incident.

The fact is this kid struck the police officer and knocked him down.

The fact is that his own family is said that he “wasn’t acting right” that day (when he was high on mushrooms).

But the point is Liberals do NOT want facts to interrupt their useful meme because they can use this meme as a bludgeon against political opponents and against anyone who loves freedom.

Who happens to reside in Madison, Wisconsin? Why that would be Gov. Scott Walker, a possible presidential candidate. No coincidence here, right?

Yeah, just another innocent black kid sitting on the park feeding pigeons when he was gunned down by the local police militia. Is that about right?

Aw, that doesn’t matter, just collateral damage for failing to accelerate the scope of social justice that still has to meted out.

Keep in mind that the City of Madison, apart from the rampant liberalism of the University of Wisconsin campus located there, is itself a citadel of progressivism, from the mayor Paul Soglin, who has been in the job for going on decades now, all down through the city council and the municipal courts, and reflected in how the order is kept on the streets.

Paul Soglin was originally from Chicago, and he fancies himself a very reform-minded civic leader, reflected in his early association with Bill Ayers, and the Weathermen. So any failures of leadership in Madison may be traced back to the prevailing mindset, which is to protest, largely for the excitement it provides to otherwise bored and somewhat mediocre students at the UW-Madison campus.

If you want to find somebody to scapegoat for this uproar, start with Paul Soglin and the Madison city council.

That's what I was thinking, too. The two biggest racists in the entire country couldn't dig up enough dirt to find an injustice had occurred. And Lord knows they really, really, REALLLY did the best they could, but just could not find a legal or illegal way to change the facts.

Oh well. The useful idiots calling for the UN to to become our judge and jury at least managed to get their 60 seconds of fame. Now they can go home and Tweet about it.

There goes their argument. Case closed.

It’s pretty obvious we need The Men from UNCLE (United Nations...er...er Network Command for Law Enforcement).

Someone needs to tell these clueless loons that the UN can’t oversee, make or enforce laws in the US, since they do not appear to know that-then maybe they will STFU and find something real to “protest”...

Wisconsin’s shooting looked pretty good on Saturday night.
