Human rights group Amnesty International has taken unprecedented action to deal with unrest in Ferguson by sending a delegation that has never before been deployed inside the United States.
The organization has had members on the ground in Ferguson since Thursday, in the wake of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer. According to a news release, the 12-person delegation is there to observe police and protester activity, gather testimony, seek meetings with officials and offer support to the community.
Organizers will also train local activists on methods of non-violent protest.
Law enforcement, from the FBI to state and local police, are obligated to respect and uphold the human rights of our communities, Amnesty International USAs executive director, Steven W. Hawkins, said. The U.S. cannot continue to allow those obligated and duty-bound to protect to become those who their community fears most.
Hawkins said they will remain in Missouri until they have a clear picture of what is taking place on the ground, and are able to work effectively with local activists on how to defend human rights at home.
On Wednesday, August 13, Hawkins wrote to the Ferguson Police Department to express concern over the shooting of Michael Brown, as well as the use of tear gas and rubber bullets during protests.
Amnesty International is really known in the international community as “Commies R Us.”
My wife offered these fakes her services as a translator during the Tiananmen Square protests. AI said no thanks, but send us money. She told them to go take a flying leap, and then set up a series of safehouses to help the pro-American Chinese students here in America.
I wouldn’t openly shoot these lousy bastards dead in public, but I would trip them as they’re walking down 10 flights of stairs.
The Democrats have all their front groups in Ferguson.
A large ‘black’ vote is their only hope in the mid-terms.
I wonder If Kerry asked them to go?
Let’s see now: a delegation from Amnesty Intl., Jesse and Al with all their entourage, 50 FBI agents plus their DOJ handlers, the ACLU, the professional agitators, is their any room in the street for some protesters??
re my post above - forgot the almost a thousand media types from all over the world. Can anyone find a protester?
Hopefully they’ll get tear-gassed tonight-then tomorrow’s news will lead with exhilarating photos of them puking on their pretty shirts.
Another leftist group gets a foothold on our land - they fit right in with our community organizer dip$*** - will be interesting to see if their training results in an increase in peaceful demonstrations and a decrease in violence: I say the odds are 99 to 1 against - anyone want a piece of the action?
What's important to focus on is how well-organized and disciplined the Democrats, liberals and radicals are in exploiting the Ferguson soap opera for their own benefit, goals and aims.
They rightly or wrongly sense a Republican/conservative Achilles Heel in regards to the event and have mobilized aggressively. From bringing in the racist poverty pimps and shakedown-artists, Jackson Jr. and Sharpton, to the arrival of Holder in Ferguson, Baden the coroner, etc.......and now internationalizing the event with Amnesty International arriving on the scene, we see instance after instance of the Left in Action...and it's not leaving a turn unstoned.
I won't be at all surprised to see Obama himself show up in Ferguson.....maybe even for the funeral.
Would that the GOP and conservatives swing into action in scenarios like Ferguson with as much gusto, discipline, idealism and even with personal cost and safety concerns as does the Left when the rubber hits the road.
This is what we should be concerned about when it comes to Ferguson. The other side will continue to throw everything it has into the maelstrom.....hoping to prolong this "Trayvon-ish" affair smack-dab up to the November election.
The Left will be very united as usual in the upcoming election. Despite its many internal differences and our high hopes to the contrary, the enemy WILL unite when it comes to voting on Nov. 4th.
