MINNEAPOLIS: "The United Nations took action in the wake of George Floyd’s murder on May 25, 2020 by creating a report with recommendations to end systemic racism and human rights violations by law enforcement against Africans and those of African descent. A panel of independent experts was appointed to investigate systemic racism, including in law enforcement and the criminal justice system, and develop steps to address it. It’s called the International Independent Expert Mechanism to Advance Racial Justice and Equality in the Context of Law Enforcement. The Mechanism came to Minneapolis on Tuesday [May 2]. Minneapolis was one of six cities the independent experts visited, including Washington D.C., Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City. The panel members met with community members, local and state officials, police departments and police unions in the cities they visited. They also toured L.A. County prisons.

On Friday, Méndez and fellow panel member Dr. Tracie Keesee presented preliminary findings.

“Existing local and national standards on the use of force by law enforcement officials do not meet international standards,” said Méndez.

The Mechanism will present its full report to the Human Rights Council this fall.

Courteney Ross [George Floyd's fiancé] told us, “I believe we need help from the outside because the U.S. is not changing enough on its own.”

Jean-Pierre: [Biden] will be making an historic stop to Papua New Guinea…the leaders will discuss…combating climate change, protecting maritime resources, and advancing resilient and inclusive economic growth.

['climate', and 'inclusive economic growth']

Reporter: Did you anticipate the current numbers that we are seeing right now at the border?

Jean-Pierre: I can't get into hypotheticals, about the numbers, and what they were going to be, or going to be, that's not something I'm going to do here.

Jean-Pierre: The United State is not a deadbeat nation…we have never failed to pay our bills.

[national debt over thirty trillion = deadbeat nation]

Jean-Pierre: [Biden] is always going to be honest with the American people.

Reporter: When was the last time [Biden] spoke to Governor Abbott about the border situation?

Jean-Pierre: I don't have any timeline of calls to lay out to the governor.

Reporter: Any plans for them to talk this week?

Jean-Pierre: Don't have anything to preview at this time.

Jean-Pierre: Forty-three republican senators signed onto a letter opposing raising the debt ceiling without budget reforms, and two hundred seventeen members in the house voted for that bill to raise the debt limit with cuts to spending, Does the White House consider all of those members to be dangerous MAGA-republican extremists?

Jean-Pierre: Do they understand what the cuts that they're voting for is going to do? That's the question.

Reporter: How can the White House continue to use messaging, calling this the 'default on America act'..without having a conversation about the budget, when you've got half the country saying that they want that conversation?

Jean-Pierre: House republicans are threatening a first ever default. They want [Biden] to agree to a plan…they want to hold the American economy hostage…twenty-two percent cuts to veterans, to seniors…schools…that what their budget plan is.

Reporter: The bill doesn't have any appropriations in it, actually.

Jean-Pierre: We have put forth a robust, multi-agency plan to humanely deal with the border.

[that plan apparently involves knowingly allowing illegals to pour in through giant openings in fencing]

Reporter at Pentagon press conference just asked if the US provided the Patriot missile that downed the Russian Kinzhal [hypersonic] missile, or if the Dutch or Germans supplied it. The general would not answer, and when pressed by reporter, the feed was abruptly cut.
