Police Slaying Of Unarmed Mom Goes Global
Even brutal, repressive regime sees rights violation
WND
WASHINGTON – While most Americans still would not recognize the name Miriam Carey, the unarmed black mother gunned down by police in the streets of the nation’s capital after apparently making a wrong turn near the White House, the case is getting international attention.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has cited the incident, now the subject of a $75 million lawsuit by Carey’s family, as an example of human-rights abuses taking place in the United States.
Miriam Carey
The report by the Basij paramilitary organization says the United States is “one of the main violators of human rights” in the world, something with which many Americans would not agree.
However, the Iranian media are doing something the Western media are not: Calling attention to a potentially serious human-rights violation, right on the doorstep of the U.S. Capitol.
The Iranian report cites a litany of familiar accusations of human-rights violations, frequently made by such groups as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, that the mainstream media dutifully report:
- Accusations of torture at the Guantanamo Bay prison;
- Accusations of torture by solitary confinement in U.S. prisons;
- NSA spying;
- The Trayvon Martin case;
- And accusations of rampant racial discrimination in American society.
The one exception that the Iranians cite, but the Western media are not reporting, is the ongoing Miriam Carey case.
The attorney for the Carey family, Eric Sanders, commented upon the Iranian report, telling WND, “We are very judgmental in this country. We criticize other countries about their record on human rights yet, our own liberties are trampled upon just as Miriam’s.”
Constitutional law expert John Whitehead, president and founder of the nonprofit civil-liberties organization the Rutherford Institute, agreed, telling WND, “I think they (the Iranians) are absolutely correct.” And, considering the source, Whitehead added, “What an indictment.”
Having chronicled numerous cases of police abuse, Whitehead went even further, claiming, “They (the Iranians) recognize something a lot of Americans don’t – that we live in a police state.”
Whitehead is one of four leading experts in civil liberties and law enforcement that previously spoke to WND about the Carey case. Another one of those, famed journalist Nat Hentoff, had told WND, “[T]his is a classic case of police out of control and, therefore, guilty of plain murder.”

Wait till Iranian news starts going after obama for his mass civilian killings with drones. Likewise, his inner mingling with known terrorists.. ie Muslim Brotherhood. Let’s see when they focus on obama illegally running weapons to terrorists in Syria through BENGHAZI and using government agencies ie CIA, FBI, NSA, EPA, AND DHS to harass citizens that disagree… ie Socialist Dictator. At least the Iranian news is doing the thing that America mainstream media refuses to do…. DIG FOR AND REPORT THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA! Maybe they can even find his birth certificate – if one exists! American news media refuses to want to report the TRUTH!
Chris Dorner connection?????
When the civil war begins this type of cop will be pissing itself running away from the fight.
My thoughts too. When the SHTF its going to be open season on these uniformed thugs and they will be getting into their civilian clothes, loading up their families and driving to another state with the hope that no one recognizes them.
Note. To those scums!
You can run! But you can’t hide!
The people will find you & they will punish you the Jewish way!
You & your family will be terminated with prejudice!
Read the OT!
You will find them at the dounut shops!
I have aid this for years. Our government points its finer at other nations wile stomping on our rights the hole time. I sickens me and has led to my loss of resect and trust of our government. We really need to step back and take a good long look at our self before we go pointing our fingers at others. We need to hit the reset and go back to our constitution 100% and not just when it suits us. We have to get these criminals out of office and out of law enforcement.
What will you call a big mound of donuts in the middle of the road??
A bait pile!!!
If you add drugs, alcohol and prostitutes.
You’ll have a congressional bait pile!
