A United Nations human rights expert is recommending changes in the way protests are handled in the United States, saying the process of issuing permits for demonstrations is “arbitrary” and could easily lead to discrimination against certain groups.

Maina Kiai of Kenya, U.N. special rapporteur on freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, offered preliminary findings Wednesday from his visits this month to seven U.S. cities — including the sites of this year’s Democratic and Republican political conventions — to investigate how the U.S. upholds its citizens’ rights of assembly and association.

And in other news, Kenya's police force is ranked as one of the most corrupt in the world. It forces evictions and confiscates property of innocent Kenyans at the behest of corrupt government officials, and even has been charged with participating in ethnic cleansing of Kenyan minority tribes. The UN telling US police what to do will be more fuel for Trump's campaign.

Personally I don’t give damn what this UN “expert” recommends, and I would tell him to stick his head back up his arse where it’s less likely to cause problems for other people.

Giuliani: Uniformed Police Officers Not Allowed on Democratic Convention Floor

Video

by Jeff Poor 28 Jul 2016

Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” in an appearance from the site of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani called the convention “the most anti-police” and “the most anti-law enforcement” he had ever seen.

However, he also said that according to “high-ranking police officers” in Philadelphia, uniformed law enforcement was not allowed on the floor of the convention.

“This is the most anti-police, anti-law enforcement convention I’ve ever seen in my whole life. There was not a uniformed police officer allowed on the convention floor. I was told that by four high-ranking police officers, two of whom I’ve known for a very long time. And then I walked the floor for very long time and I couldn’t find a single officer. Go look at your footage. You find me a uniform. Hillary Clinton didn’t want uniformed police officers on the convention floor.”
