WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT - It appears police used ‘excessive’ force in shooting Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a top UN human rights official said as he weighed in on the international standards for the use of lethal force with a firearm

GENEVA - The U.N. human rights office said on Friday that the images of the shooting of Black man Jacob Blake in Wisconsin appeared to show that the police officer had used “excessive” force that was likely discriminatory in nature.

“From the images available that we’ve seen at this point, the police appear to have used force against Jacob Blake that would seem to be excessive,” Rupert Colville said at a virtual briefing in Geneva, saying the use of force did not appear to comply with international standards. Colville is the spokesman for the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet whose voice carries moral authority, although her office cannot force states to comply with its recommendations.

No one cares what the U. N. thinks.

Why are we hearing from you UN? You have been silent when millions have been killed By communists .You have nothing to do with United States PS Blake came out them with a gun we can handle own affairs but out

UN is the most corrupt agency world wide. Occupied by RAPISTS, PEDOPHILES, CRIMINALS AND CROONS. UnitedNations

Hahaha UN official.

Blake was beating up a woman, tased, grabs a knife all while resisting arrest for a felony warrant for rape of a minor. Good guy. Disban the UN. Get then off US soil. Defund the world bank, which is the US. FTW. Portland and Seattle should be under Marshall Law.

This guy w/ sexual assault charges goes to a residence of his X despite a restraining order, has a warrant out, has his kids to watch it all, and has weapons, tries to take away keys and car from X.. yeah what a poor victim he is! Too bad they didn't shoot him between his legs!

UN is part of the Anti Trump 🇺🇸 Campaign UN rarely talks about POLICE BRUTALITY in VENEZUELA 🇻🇪 or anywhere else UNAction UNEP_Europe Refugees UNHumanRights Almagro_OEA2015 realDonaldTrump SecPompeo WhiteHouse KellyannePolls FernandoAmandi LatAmFr omarbula

Well ya sexually assault women and grab for knives ya get shot..fair to me

FAKE NEWS!!!

Yes used necessary excessive force to subdue an out of control known criminal, pedophile, and sexual deviant. policedidtheirjob

“BUT JACOB BLAKE HAD A KNIFE!!” This is an answer given by the racists, WhiteSupremacists and other Trump followers who defend PoliceBrutality—many of them police themselves–-even though Wisconsin Law states that you are allowed to carry a knife. KenoshaShooting Fascism

Did the UN miss the video showing him resisting arrest then reaching for a weapon after repeated requests by officers to cease and desist. Learn the rules of engagement buttholes.

The views of Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for human rights and former Socialist President of Chile. The same Marxist ideologue who fled Chile to be educated in 1970’s East Germany under Secretary Honecker. He was a well known fan of Human Rights.

The UN 😒

Goh, dat had ik nou niet verwacht. Je vraagt je af wat er in de hoofden van die agent(en) omgaat. In het licht van black lifes matter. Of zou er een interne roep achter zitten van de gekkeblondebananenrepubliekman. Of ben ik nu te achterdochtig?

What do Jacob Blake and a man at the bar have in common? After seven shots they can barely stand 😂

Remember UN “peacekeepers” are MILITARY SOLDIERS who commit atrocities everyday and get away with them because the have COMPLETE AND TOTAL IMMUNITY Unlike our police who can be found guilty and imprisoned.

Police should be volunteer and totally disarmed.

Hello he just raped a woman before his arrested..go figure

The fucking UN is useless!

No shit. Guy was shot 7 times in the back!!!

Who gives a fuck what the UN thinks

Who gives a rats ass what the UN thinks? Move to Europe

UN go to hell, Reuters British agency go to hell. Why the UN does not do anything about Mullahs in Iran killing hundreds every day

✊🏽🔥🔥🔥

americans care what the UN thinks? haha too much funny

VENEZUELA is on the “HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL!”🤨

This is why Jacob Blake had a warrant out for his arrest via nypost

You spelled *attempted murder* wrong.

The un ? Trump should defund them, and this should it. The US pays 80 % of the funding for that corrupt organization . Keep their nose out r of our affairs. We have a constitution. The countries they represent r not democracies

Gtfo with this UN shit.

This is what happens when you tell the police you are going to get your gun from your car. Has nothing to do with race ...

As I've been saying for decades now, screw the UN! As for this incident, let the justice system take it's course.

police must be required to ask criminals and suspects politely to sit down and chat and should never be allowed to use a firearm even for defence. vote democrat!!

USA government is in denial that it has a PoliceBrutality HumanRightsViolations

Oh. Well if the UN said so it MUST be excessive force. Because they’re the experts on policing and would have performed an investigation.

The officer who made the mistake here needs to be made an example. We cannot tolerate such sloppy work from our LEO professionals. Most LEO’s are good, honorable neighbors who deserve our support and respect. Sadly there is a small percentage of officers who shouldn’t be cops.

Don’t give a single shit about what the UN says about anything

Love watching golf and listening to true professionals talk about their game and not delve into politics and defend the indefensible (resisting arrest and wrestling with police). God works in mysterious ways and, to that end, he made sure this rapist's dick don't work 4 ever😷

Appears?

Oh... ya think

The United Nations has turned a blind eye to: ✔ Sex trafficking of children & women across the globe ✔ Sexual mutilation of women in Africa ✔ Genocide in China ✔ The Drug Cartel Yet, wants to weigh in now! F-the UN and the Democrat horse they rode up on!

I agree it was excessive force and a violation of his 8th amendment right.

The Kenosha police cannot be trusted...the end.

same guy.

Defund UN immediately.

Ridiculous comments without a full investigation DefundTheUN

UN better get worried about what happens with millions of Uygurs in China.

Now do China...get outta here!

Growing up when everyone thought america was the place to be....

This is beyond comical… Do you in weighing in on a police issue in Wisconsin. You cannot make this up If any of you BLM folks want to get educated on reality, fax and how things work… Try to convince me the officer did anything wrong

Trump screwed up America in many ways

Maybe they should focus on London and mind their own freaking business when it comes to the U.S.

They used excessive force in the Chase!! What? Can't they run? Tackle the guy for God's sake; he's little.

santiagomayer_ ok.. que Trump tweeting 'UN Bad.. get rid of them and put a hotel there instead' in 5-4-3-2-1.....

UN just piece of junk and JOKE

How long until trump rails the UN for this?

Only Cowards use excessive force Police departments must stop hiring cowards Truth

The UN? Home to every tin pot dictator and authoritarian regime on earth. Yeah, let's be lectured by them. Lol

Good thing the U.N is a complete joke and nobody gives a crap what they think. UnitedNations corruption

I used to want to live in America. Not anymore.

No it doesn't and I couldn't give a rats ass what the Iranian terrorist, anti-Semitic, communist bought and paid for UN says. Trump needs to kick their ass down the road. They're worthless

주님을 찾기를 원하십니다

'Excessive force'? Ya think?

Globalists are all in against the Donald... now UN

This is not UN's business. Is the UN INVASION is on the Democrat table as President Trump is set to win the 2020 election?* *Remember - it is the Governor's duty to quell the riots and DOJ for investigations. Back off UN. End UN ties now. realDonaldTrump Trump2020Landslide

“Appears”

Somebody tell the UN human rights official he/she doesn’t count !

Check this out

Kyle Rittenhouse identified as Hispanic, not your usual 'White supremacist'.

All local police departments are nothing more than White Racist Militias with a few Oreo's for appearance!

Use of Force is establish by state and local law. Not the corrupt UN that left so many to die in Rawanda, Bosnia, Syria, and more

josephgetti racism RacismInAmerica

America is 'bigly' failed. The divided America is a threat to other nations. The blacks and white matter need to be resolve by a third party. UN do something to protect the lives of humans.

Self defence is not 1st degree.

The UN can kiss my ass, really.

Compare US Police “training” with those of the NZ police force who captured Brenton Harrison Tarrant.

The UN human rights, nervous condemn how the Chinese Government's human rights. But they have dare condemn US

Thank you for your play by play from 9000 Away and from no facts just a video from one angle 40 feet away. Have you ever worn the u inform in the u it’s states? We have a different reality cops get murderers daily every day multiple officers DIE, from punks like Blake

Trump : we will defund the UN

The UN said that turning off the water of people in Detroit for not paying their water bill was a human rights violation, yet they say nothing when the mayor of Los Angeles shuts off people's water for not 'social' distancing. Screw the UN, no one cares what they think.

The UN has no power. Just a bunch bigmouths.

The UN? Rock bottom and still digging Reuters

WHAT? Since when does the UN say what the f- we do in this country? Trump needs to defund the UN DefundUN

It appears? You sleazy excuse for a news outlet. Have you ever tried to get the the factual account of the incident or does that hamper your sensationalist headlines. And so called journalist wonder why they are some of the most distrusted people in the country.

Shooting someone in the back 7 times at point blank range is horrible police tactics. Listening to the local Chief and Sheriff, I understand why those officers are so poorly behaved.

Do China. HYPOCRITES!!!! DO NIGERIA!!!!! GLOBALIST HYPOCRITES.

The United Nations is a useless Body loaded with Corrupt politicians. I believe President Trump is correct in Defunding it, hopefully other countries will follow.

I don’t give a $it what the UN thinks. This is the US. Listen to the commands of a police officer, sign for your ticket, and go home.

santiagomayer_ Oh, don’t worry about the The UN court of human rights, it’s an English bloke on the job; the reprisals will be swift tut-tutting and furrowing of brows over a cup of tea useless

Criminals in blue

SHUT UP CHINA!!!!!!

You can’t argue 7 shots isn’t excessive force! Though how Mr. Blake handled himself can’t be normalized too! DefenseIntel

Great source the un

What did the UN said about the genocide in China?

So the UN finished their investigation before the local authorities? How is that even possible?

Police were serving a warrant, guy resisted, was tased a couple of time and pulled a knife. Maybe if he didn’t resist he wouldn’t have been shot.

Since when does the UN have any credibility or any moral authority in the US? Asking for a friend. Come on .

Fuck the UN, if I want their opinion, I will give it to them.

That meant where their Human-Rights that trumpeted for by USA is just Hollow and Two-Faced undoubtedly!

From outside the U.S., it is so clear -- America, you are broken. Sorry.

He think , the dogs on the street run and hide when they even see an American Cop . They can smell them for miles .

This is democracy in maldives

UN?!!! May God judge all these hypocrites. They do not see the massacre going on in Africa (Nigeria specifically) by jihadists and the Buhari administration. It is US they want to talk about. Evil Globalists.

Are you guys behind on info? They already confirmed that he had a knife, he was trespassing, and the police new he had a warrant.

UN? FUCK THOSE YAYHOOS

Yet the UN turns a blind eye to genocide in China.

Oh. The UN. Lol

JacobBlake BLMTerrorist BLM BLMTerrrorists
