Yes...these two...who took this beyond our own courts of justice to an outside entity for the justice they said they cannot get here in the US. Claiming "torture" against their son by the police.

The United Nations Committee Against Torture urged the United States to investigate police abuse, as protests continue over a grand jury decision not to charge a white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in the U.S. state of Missouri.
In a report released Friday, the U.N. committee said it is concerned about "numerous reports" of police brutality and excessive use of force, in particular against minority racial and ethnic groups.
It described police shootings or fatal pursuits of unarmed black individuals as "frequent" and "recurrent."
Jens Modvig, one of the panel's 10 independent experts, said U.S. officials have not provided data on such complaints and how they have been investigated and prosecuted.
"We have reports of widespread extensive use of force by the police, and this gives rise to concern, of course, and also that some vulnerable groups, including ethnic groups, blacks, have been particularly targeted by this force," Modvig said. "And for this reason, the committee feels that there's a need for investigation and prosecution of all cases of police brutality and excessive use of force."

Comrade Holder would like to get in touch with you.
SHUT YOUR MOUTHS! The cesspool called the UN sits by and watches the muslims behead non believers children and women, mutilate young girls, accuse wives of sexal acts with others so they can be convicted and stoned to death, children with bombs strapped to thier back, young daughters murdered by thier fathers and sons in the name of honor. The UN torture watch dog is blind
FUUN
Instead of crevice might it be well and frequently traveled canyon?
The UN understands the racial situation in the US about like an 11 year old understands romance. In other words, they are totally clueless and their proclamations on the subject should be ignored.
It drives me crazy that we (western countries) fund these invaders - this fifth column - that at every turn seeks to undermine us and our way of life. Time for them to get their marching orders! Pity the Jihadists didn’t take down the UN building but they know who is on their side!
OK.
Instead of brutality, the police should practice ‘love’ or ‘friendliness’ or ‘comfort’, right?
Hugs and kisses and consummation.
I haven’t commented about police brutality per se. I’ve noted that the feds don’t have the constitutional authority to deal with intrastate police brutality issues.
does anyone, anywhere, give a shi* what the U.N. says???

Absolutely agree.

Funny how those who want to use laws to control the people are so dead set against enforcement of laws that engender civility in society...
