The United Nations Calls Out "Racist" US Criminal Justice System
Ya ^ | Fri, September 29, 2023 | Jessica Washington

The abject cruelty and racism within the criminal justice system in the United States has been well documented. But a new report from the United Nation’s foremost human rights experts is shedding new light on the atrocities within our justice system for all of the world to see.

The report found that racism and the legacy of slavery persist within our modern criminal justice system. Experts who met with 133 “affected individuals” in cities throughout the country — noted that Black children were subjected to life imprisonment, pregnant women were chained during childbirth, and people were subjected to forced labor in “plantation-style” prisons.

“We reject the “bad apple” theory. There is strong evidence suggesting that the abusive behavior of some individual police officers is part of a broader and menacing pattern,” said Juan Mendez, one of the UN experts. “Law enforcement and criminal justice institutions in the United States share and reproduce values, attitudes, and stereotypes of US society and institutions. These must be reformed.”

THE UN IS THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE ORGANIZATION IN THE USA

THEY RELY ON A MAJOR AMOUNT OF THEIR SUPPORT FROM THE USA-—AND THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE CONSTANTLY.

Just think if the UN building was converted to illegal migrant housing, and the UN should support this.

“It’s time to dissolve the UN once and for all.”

Yes absolutely.

Probably we need a League of Nations to replace it

Exactly

That entire body loathes the US but loves the US dollar, loves US troops to handle sh*t and loves being in NYC, living the good life.

I pray that one of Pres Trump’s first acts is to let the UN know that they have 6 months to find a new home, withdraw from the security council, just be a regular member, and if they don’t budge, expel every UN diplomat from the US.

Why anything?

Let countries from their own parts and treaties.

Aren’t these people supposed to some of the best and brightest? They can’t act like adults and come to agreements?

The US military should never deploy for any UN mission other than humanitarian and only in numbers equal to everyone else. If security is needed, a small contingent with very generous ROEs

I watched a rerun last night of “The Pink Panther Strikes Again” probably for the 10th time over the decades and my favorite part is where Herbert Lom uses his nasty giant laser weapon and makes the UN building disappear, too bad it’s not real.

have they tried to stop the devastation in Ukraine or Armenia or the Christian genocide in Africa? send the UN to Mogadishu or make it a traveling show with a new country every 5 years

Trump needs to get elected so he can take out the U.N. trash.

Forgot all about that. Targets are important.

Similar to the theater audiences cheering the Independence Day or Mars Attacks blowing up of the White House and Congress.

Or Blofeld in “Diamonds Are Forever,” on the importance of choosing the right target for your death ray: “The satellite is at present over.....Kansas. Well, if we destroy Kansas the world may not hear about it for years.”
