Violent #police forces across the #UnitedStates are breaking international law!

U.S. police brutality is illegal under international laws. Demand the U.N. take action to condemn these murders! Sign Now Dear friends, When people in the United States took to the streets this weekend to peacefully protest the murder of Geroge Floyd — an unarmed Black man who was murdered by officers in broad daylight — police initiated violence at many, if not all, gatherings across the country that eventually turned into full blown riots. Police forces, outfitted in combat-level riot gear, wielding military-grade weapons and riding around in tanks, waged war against the very people they are sworn to protect. There are countless videos of the abuse — police ramming and even running over crowds with their cars, shooting and injuring journalists with rubber bullets, beating peaceful protestors with batons, and using teargas — a chemical weapon that impairs respiratory functioning in the midst of a pandemic — on trapped crowds. International human rights laws protect the right to protest, and the right to be safe from excessive and unnecessary force by police. These are laws that the majority of nations around the entire world have agreed upon — including the United States. There is only one way to understand this: government leaders in the United States are breaking international law when they allow law "enforcement" officers to beat, taze, tear gas, shoot, and brutalize protesters, members of the Black community, and even journalists. Sign the petition to demand that the United Nations decry racist police violence as a violation of human rights! Thank you,   Lauren W. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The United States police are waging war on those who they are sworn to serve and protect. Please sign the petition today.
