Iran berates U.S. over police killing, slams racism

“Some don’t think #BlackLivesMatter,” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Twitter. “To those of us who do: it is long overdue for the entire world to wage war against racism. Time for a #WorldAgainstRacism.”

“The U.S. government is squandering its citizens’ resources, whether its adventurism in Asia, Africa, or Latin America...,” Zarif said in a tweet partly based on a message that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sent to Iranian street protesters in 2018, but with some of the words changed. Iran’s Foreign Ministry earlier denounced the police killing of the unarmed black man in Minneapolis, which has sparked protests in several cities, some which have turned violent.

A ministry statement condemned what it called “the tragic murder of black people and deadly racial discrimination in the United States”. “The voices of the protesters must be heard ... the repression of suffering Americans must be stopped immediately,” the ministry statement said.

my god, how messed up must we be when even Iran chimes in to say the police went to far.

Reuters got their paycheck from Iran today. 🖕🏼

As well it should. No democracy should have civil law enforcement that kills it’s citizens. The US should be ashamed.

Why won't the Governor , the district attorney and the mayor go ahead and arrest the other 3 officers so this could stop.

How Ironic. Iranic?

lawenforcement are front line workers in Pandemic too with Paramedics, Doctors, Firefighters, Nurses. If u want to kill a cop, remember, u killed front line worker. LiberalismIsTheRealPandemic
