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.”

And let’s not forget about the UN peacekeepers taping and pillaging the places they’re supposed to keep the peace.

So many people have no idea what life is like outside of the US other than tourist destinations, where everything is peachy.

Ethiopia’s forgotten war is the deadliest of the 21st century, with around 600,000 civilian deaths

No concern about very high levels of black crime causing very high levels of blacks arrested?

18 and 19 year old black children are subjected to incarceration by a racist justice system that prosecutes them for crimes which they commit on a scale unlike the racist other citizens.

Ironic, it is racist but in the opposite direction from their allegations. Anyway, evict the UN and force them to meet some other place, ungrateful bassturds.

DO THE CRIME, DO THE TIME!

If black folks would just obey the laws, there would be no problem!

Black people make up 13% of the U.S. population; they were 33% of persons arrested for violent crimes!

If white folks would just stop serial killing, there would be no problem! White people make up 59% of the U.S. population; they were 83% of persons arrested for serial killing!

Do you have any ideas that aren't Democrat values?

I don’t follow serial killers, but I don’t believe that is a significant statistic.

This is: Whites, who are 60% of the population, were 46% of persons arrested for non-fatal violent crimes, and 39% of those arrested for serious non-fatal violent crimes.

Where did you get the notion that I have Democrat values?
