Brother of George Floyd asks U.N. to take action on violence against black people
[UPI] Philonise Floyd urged the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
 to launch an international probe into the killings of black people in the United States following the police-involved killing of his brother George Floyd.During the U.N Human Right's Council's urgent debate on racism, Floyd delivered an impassioned plea on Wednesday for the international body to take action in response to police brutality in the United States as exhibited in the killing of his brother by Minneapolis police and violence against protesters who have demonstrated throughout the world in response to his death.

"You watched my brother die. That could have been me," Floyd said in a recording played during the debate. "I am my brother's keeper. You in the United Nations are your brothers' and sisters' keepers in America and you have the power to help us get justice for my brother George Floyd. I am asking you to help him. I am asking you to help me. I am asking you to help us. Black people in America."

U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed opened the debate by saying that George Floyd's death was the "most recent trigger" for the global protests but said that the violence "spans history and borders alike" throughout the world.

"I am asking you with tears in my eyes to help dissolve the USA. SOb...sniff. Can't nobody do nuffin'? "

If he's his brothers' keeper, he should go to his brothers and tell them to change their attitudes against law and order, their racial hatred of white people and christians. Go into the street gangs and crack pushers and pimps and tell them to reform. Go to his sisters and dissuade them from becoming birthing machines for meal tickets and footsoldiers for the thousands of small drug gangs and enforcers that thrive across America. Go to the hollywood types and rappers and idols of black youth and tell them not to push their 'gangsta' themes.

There are men and women actually doing this, trying to change the attitudes of people toward the blacks by reforming the blacks themselves. People reminding them of Christ and general human decency. This is the only way you can end racism or prejudice in a society.

No prejudice of any rational society is unfounded. If you trace it back, every prejudice is the rotting body of a circumspection evolved after centuries of experience.

Aah, but who'll explain that to people being promised the moon by globalists, only if they'll howl at it hard enough.

#2 Two isolated indigenous peoples live in Ecuador's Amazon region. They are both eastern Huaorani peoples living in Yasuni National Park, called the Tagaeri and the Taromenane.

Bringing these people here and encouraging them to shop via Amazon, or join a foursome at the club....probably a bridge too far. Dropping me into their Amazonian village for a year or two, equally as futile.

Perhaps, just perhaps... it was never intended.

#3 Can he also ask black people to stop committing excess violent crime?

#4 Perhaps a quick look at the murder stats out of Chicago & Baltimore would give the UN pause, not to mention some statistics re: black-on-white crime. Of course, to take the UN seriously in the first place....I mean, it's not like taking a vial of chemical weapons to the Security Council or anything.

#5 His brother is making a lot $$$$$$ off his Georges name.

Who is funneling the $$$$$ to him?
Who are his backers and handlers?
Why isn't some deeper research done into these questions?

#6 So, he's trying to say blacks in the US are actually citizens of the African nations he's urging to intervene? How does that work?

#10 Have them look at the raw crime statistics. Might consider deploying 'African Peacekeepers' in those neighborhoods. Raping, pillaging and looting on an organized scale might impress the local natives.

#11 Brother of George Floyd asks U.N. to take action on violence against black people

Floyd's family may love George despite his warts, but he is not the saint depicted in the MSM and by various left-wing groups. I doubt the UN is the body to go to for resolution of much of anything. You'll find a corrupt body that suffers from many anti-beliefs (fill in the blank; anti-U.S. for example) of their own.

IMO, what was done by Officer Derek Chauvin was wrong. Chauvin has been criticized demonized by just about everyone. He has seen involved in many violent incidents where he and other officers could have easily lost their lives. Little has been said about the possibility that he may have been suffering from PTSD. A friend of mine was a SWAT team member where high-risk encounters and entries were fairly routine. He suffered from PTSD after years of dealing with violent criminals.
Another example of an officer who many people will remember who suffered from PTSD was Ken Osmond who was a LAPD officer. Before that he played Eddie Haskell on Leave it to Beaver.”

Wiki entry: On September 20, 1980, Osmond was struck by five bullets while in a foot chase with a suspected car thief. He was protected from four of the bullets by his bullet-resistant vest, with the fifth bullet ricocheting off his belt buckle. The shooting was later dramatized in a November 1992 episode of the CBS series Top Cops. Osmond applied for a disability pension in 1984, but after an evidentiary hearing in 1986, the Los Angeles Board of Pension Commissioners denied his request by a 4–2 vote. Osmond appealed the determination to the Superior Court and in 1988 a judge overturned the Board's denial and awarded Osmond a lifetime pension and he retired from the force.

If one reads his recent obit, it reads like he suffered from PTSD as the result of his shooting encounters. Officer Derek Chauvin had many similar encounters over the years. Perhaps Minneapolis should have retired him out earlier after such encounters or given him a desk job or some other job out of the line of action.

So many times, politicians bend to mob rule and officers who are involved in such shootings that involves African-Americans tend to convict the officer in the hysteria of the moment before the shooting is investigated.

It is no wonder that many officers are leaving police work. Despite what has been said about getting rid of or defunding police departments," police officers are essential to maintaining a civilized society. The "no go" area of Chaz or Chop is a good example of an area without police. Similar areas can be found in some European cities.

#12 I'd be interested in a piece about blacks taking action against UN corruption.

#13 Regardless of why Chauvin was a bad cop, he shouldn't have been on the street. They also serve who push papers...
