The shooting of African American Jacob Blake by United States law enforcement was a painful reminder of the need to eliminate links between policing and racism, says a United Nations spokesperson.

A demonstrator holds a makeshift shield as around a hundred protesters gather to protest the shooting in Los Angeles, California."This really tragic episode reaffirms the need for urgent action to eradicate linkages between structural racism and policing," Mr Colville told reporters in Geneva on Friday.as he tried to enter his car during a confrontation with police in the Wisconsin city of Kenosha.

"From the images available that we've seen at this point, the police appears to use force against Jacob Blake that would seem to be excessive.

The media will never allow that to happen. They need the hate clicks

SBS This the same UN that appointed China to the human rights council? Does anyone give a flying f$k what the UN has to say on anything anymore.

SBS Of course I'm sure some guy sitting in an office in another country can offer some real insight into a case thats yet to have all the facts come out. What does he have to say on the racist black on white crime like the killing of the 5yo white boy by a black man?

What about the part where he raped a 14 year old, had numerous warrants out for his arrest, resisted arrest, had a knife & told police he had a gun and attempted to go get it from the car? Do they go too far from the liberal narrative? 🤔

Jacob Blake was a criminal, the officers were trying to arrest him. He resisted arrest. He was shot while reaching for a knife on the floor of his car, OR, he was further attempting to escape. This is a consequence of disobeying police direction, no proof of racism.

UN will probably be interested in these too or are they only looking for the racist angle? outsiders

So every time an African criminal dies it's 'racism,' but when an African kills a white child you don't even report on it?
