Protesters Seek United Nations Probe of Wisconsin Shooting

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.

I defy them to show me where in the US Constitution the UN has any authority to do any such thing.

I look back, and I can safely say I’ve never been as stupid as one of today’s collegiate protesters in my entire life.

You’ve got to work at it to be this dumb.

The U. N., should supersede our government?

Do these fools have any idea what that would mean if it actually was accepted as the norm?

Shouldn’t these kids be huddled together somewhere in a safe zone?

I’ll bet a poly sci teacher had something to do with this.

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-

I'd like to know who the idiot is that assumes the UN understands American racism. I never understood what it was either until I went into the Army and "race relations" classes were shoved down my throat by bigoted racist instructors.

“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.”

It really is quite the show, LOL!

BUMP!

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

Yep. And the CANCER is spreading to the outlying areas. I voted today. There was ONE Conservative on the ballot - Judge Daley. Everyone else I had to choose from was a Leftist running for office in, ‘The People’s Republik of Fitchburgistan’ ten miles south of Madistan.

If you’re in Dane County, there is NO escape. I cannot WAIT to get out of here.
