GENEVA (Reuters) - U.S. authorities need to tackle a "deep and festering" mistrust in some sectors of the population and examine how race relations affect law enforcement, the U.N.'s human rights chief said on Tuesday.

About a dozen buildings in surburban Ferguson, Missouri, burned overnight and police fired tear gas at protesters angry that a grand jury had cleared police officer Darren Wilson in the Aug. 9 shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.

Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein at the United Nations said he was "deeply concerned at the disproportionate number of young African Americans who die in encounters with police officers, as well as the disproportionate number of African Americans in U.S. prisons and the disproportionate number of African Americans on Death Row."(continued)

I guess the prince didn't hear that we elected a black man as president way back in '08 and he later selected black men to be both Attorney General and Homeland Security Secretary.

Maybe blacks should learn to go to school, work, raise families and join the world they want to live in instead of insisting everything’s “Whiteys’” fault. Graduation rate in Rochester NY is about 40%. Ridiculous. And they’re shameless!!

And that black man that we elected President quietly, by executive order, gave INTERPOL jurisdiction over any and all law enforcement and military in the sovereign United States. Can anyone see where this is going? Anyone?

Palestinian scholars and political activists including Samer Libdeh and Mudar Zahran have described the political system of Jordan as anti-Palestinian apartheid. According to Libdeh, the royal policy of “ethnic cohesion” amounts to discrimination against the Palestinians, who comprise the majority of Jordanian subjects.[45] In a more scholarly article, Zahran details what he calls the “apartheid policies” by which positions in the ranks and, especially, in the officer corps of the army and most jobs in the civil service are filled by Bedouin despite the fact that Palestinians are in the majority, and census returns and election districts are rigged so that Palestinians are underrepresented in Parliament.[46]

Wrong diagnosis leads to wrong prescriptions.

It is not mistrust. It is an entitlement mentality. They are entitled to be thugs. They have a free pass to criminal activity because they imagine themselves with the right — an excuse. IT IS THE OTHER GUY’S FAULT. There is no sense of personal responsibility.

A lone voice for personal responsibility in that community unfortunately came from Bill Cosby. Who will step up?

I was nominally under the United Nations Command on both my tours of Korea, as was everyone else (US, South Korean or our allies) who has ever served there since 1950, but I don’t consider myself a UN puke. LOL

Which might just be why he is being destroyed.

US authorities also need to boot the UN out of the US and at the same withdraw US membership from this disgusting world government body.

“US authorities need to build trust on race issues...”

Never happen.

Certainly not after Obama and after Ferguson.
