What the petition asks
Barely a week goes by without a story emerging of police officers in the USA killing innocent black citizens on the street without punishment. It's time the international community let the USA government know that these kinds of human rights abuses can not be tolerated in modern civilised society.
Latest case - two black citizens who were asleep in their car when police officers shot and killed them - http://thefreethoughtproject.com/parents-date-night-passed-car-police-showed/
