Would this be the same UN that allows Hamas to hide rockets in UN run schools in Gaza?

I think that’s one of those zombie lies that just won’t die.

Nope, but it is the same U.N. that’s coming for your guns!

No parent should have to bury their child. Heartbreaking.

Your headline is confusing. It should read, “UN urges US to stop police brutality.”

I was pretty sure someone was urging us to stop the UN from using the police to brutalize people. :)

The UN is a useless organization and has no credibility. Their past record of putting countries on the Human Rights committees is astounding.
