U.N. rights experts seek review of U.S. police practices
Source: Reuters

United Nations human rights experts on Friday called for a halt to racial profiling by U.S. law enforcement officers and a review of laws allowing police to use lethal force.

The independent experts regretted that grand juries in the United States had failed to indict police officers for killing two unarmed black men in separate incidents that have led to mass protests.

Sending to trial the cases of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York would have brought all evidence to light and allowed justice to take its course, they said in a statement.

"I am concerned by the grand juries' decisions and the apparent conflicting evidence that exists relating to both incidents," said Rita Izsak, U.N. special rapporteur on minority issues.

Even though I agree with your sentiment, I don't think this is the right place for your post.

Oh well.I wondered where that went.

Did you see that cheating Basel bastard pretending to be hurt last night?

What a disease this practice is turning out to be. Conning the referee must be part of their training.

I hope Spendi's not dead.

Me too. It happens to all of us eventually though.

I also hope there is a decent afterlife waiting on the other side (for those of us who deserve it at least -- hopefully people like Hitler are somewhere a little more unpleasant).

When you want some toast, and you've got a two-slice toaster, do you ever only put one slice in?
I'm not sure what I would do if I had a four-slice one.
But I like my toast I do.

Where have all the flowers gone? Smorgs, Spendy, Steve A, you can probably think of many more.
Absent friends.
Some only barely sane.
Sad face here.
Sic transit gloria mundi.

A Christmas message from UKIP: "SAY NO TO THE UK"

They're always good for a laugh.

To all those unfortunate enough not to be British, never mind, and I hope you are reasonably merry today.
McTag.

Already been ship-watching, izzy?



And hopefully you've used the bus!

Your countrymen couldn't bear the thought of not watching Ipswich get hammered.

60': Southampton 1 - 1 Ipswich ... still using a very tiny hammer, I think

65% of the possession, and still even Stevens, and it's only bloody Ipswich.
